#5 George Sullivan:
#4 Max Holloway:
#3 Donald Cerrone:
#2 Paul Felder:
#1 Henry Cejudo:
I have been watching Sullivan dominate since he
was fighting in the CFFC in 2011. In the CFFC,
Sullivan won four of his six victories by KO/TKO.
Sullivan is 2-0 in the UFC and won his last fight
by KO against Igor Araujo. I think he will win his
fight on April 18, and move to 3-0 in the UFC,
showing that he deserves some bigger fights.
Look for him to stay undefeated in the UFC in
2015 and be ranked in his division.
Holloway’s last loss was in 2013 to Connor Mc-
Gregor, he lost by unanimous decision. Since his
last loss, he has won his last five fights, with
his last victory over Cole Miller by unanimous
decision. Holloway is also scheduled to fight on
April 18, as he fights Cub Swanson. A lot of
people believe that this fight is a little too rich
for Holloway, but I believe he will beat Swanson
and show that he is ready to have a big year in
2015.
Listen, I understand that Donald “Cowboy”
Cerrone is a big name in the UFC and predicting
him to have a big year in 2015 is a copout, but
I had to list him. He fights undefeated Khabib
Nurmagomedov on May 23 and I think Cerrone
will win the fight. His last loss was to current
champion Rafael dos Anjos and after beating
Nurmagomedov, Cowboy will get to try and
avenge his loss, and he will do it. I predict that
Cerrone will not only win the belt in 2015, but
also defend it successfully. You never know with
Cowboy though, he could defend the belt twice
in 2015 because the man loves to fight.
It is a known fact that many are a fan of Paul
Felder and have been since he has been knock-
ing people out viciously in the CFFC, but the UFC
is a fan of him as well. After earning what looks
to be the leading candidate for Knockout of the
Year, Felder was scheduled to fight UFC veteran
Jim Miller on April 18, but an injury to Felder has
now changed his plans. Felder looked like he
was peeking at the right time and the injury will
certainly set him back. However, I still believe
that even with the injury, and missing the big-
gest fight of his career, Felder will bounce back
and have a big year in 2015. Look for him to
be ranked in the top ten by the end of the year
and show the UFC, and the fans, that he means
business in 2015.
The hype is real when it comes to Cejudo. Two
fights in the UFC and he is already ranked in the
top ten in the flyweight division. Look for him to
keep winning and keep getting ranked higher.
2015 will be a year in which he plows through
top ranked fighters and shows he is ready for a
title fight in 2016. The sky is the limit for Cejudo
and he is only going to get better.
