According to DC's predictions, the UFC's lightweight belt (up to 70,3 kg), which currently belongs to the Brazilian Charles of the Bronx, will change hands by the end of the year. Cormier's bet is that Islam makhachev will be the new division champion.

Fourth place in the lightweight rankings, Islam makhachev has a fight scheduled against Beneil Dariush, which occupies third position. The two face each other on February 26th and can qualify for a title fight with a victory.

Another bold prediction from Daniel Cormier concerns the flyweight champion (up to 56,7 kg) Valentina Shevchenko. According to DC, the leader of the women's UFC pound-for-pound rankings will end the year as champion of two UFC divisions.

Check out the five predictions Daniel Cormier for 2022:

1. Islam makhachev will win the UFC lightweight belt.

2. Henry Cejudo will return to the UFC.

3. Jon Jones will lose the heavyweight title fight.

4. Khamzat Shimaev will become the number one challenger.

5. Valentina Shevchenko will become two-division champion.
