Mine were no better than Blue's

1/ Conor McGregor fights again, not against Khabib....and loses
2/ PFL will cease operations
3/ Fedor Emelianenko wins the Bellator HW tournament
4/ Jon Jones "pops" again ( I know....how to go out on a limb)
5/ Khabib/Ferguson finally happens with Khabib retaining his title
6/ Demetrious Johnson comes back to the UFC and challenges T.J for the BW title
7/ DC/Brock does not materialize
8/ Cain Velasquez vs. JDS for the vacant HW title some time in the last qtr.
9/ Project spearhead goes away into obscurity
10/ Scott Coker will challenge Dana White to a best vs. best PPV....Dana will decline
11/Cyborg/Nunes II will happen
12/ Neither Diaz brother will fight in 2019 (see sidenote from #4)
13/ A UFC champion not named Jon Jones will piss hot
14/Goldenboy MMA will do a second show but it will be headlined by Tito, not Chuck and it will be against Chael Sonnen
15/ Flyweight division (mens) will be scrapped (I need a gimme)

Yeah, not too successful with much of this. I listened to Sean Sheehans podcast running over his from last year too, he claimed 5 correct, but in reality he got 3 and gave himself 2 that were kinda right!

If I can be bothered, I may try and bash out another 20 for this year.

OK fellas, here we go......I have 20 for 2020.

1. Rory MacDonald fails to win the PFL Grand Prix, and retires.
2. DC retires as UFC HW champion.
3. UFC Paris PPV headlined by Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones.
4. Jose Aldo becomes 135lb champion, then loses to Petr Yan.
5. Anderson Silva vs GSP is booked.
6. Fedor fights Wanderlei Silva in his retirement bout.
7. Cyborg loses to Julia Budd, takes a bout in Rizin versus some overmatched pro wrestling grandmother!
8. Michael Chandler signs with the UFC.
9. AJ McKee will win the Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix and become champion.
10. Jon Jones loses a fight.
11. Khabib announces his retirement.
12. Joe Benavidez wins the 125lb belt, retires and the division is closed.
13. Ross Houston signs with the UFC after defending his Cage Warriors belt one more time.
14. A woman UFC fighter will have a boxing match.
15. A UFC event will be announced in Africa, possibly Morocco.
16. Bellator will announce a 135lb tournament to crown a new champion. Patrick Mix will win it(but not likely until 2021).
17. Didn't happen last year, but I'll go with this one again. Tyron Woodley signs with Bellator......or maybe PFL.
18. Zuffa boxing announces a press conference on their future(beginning), but then nothing actually happens.
19. Yoel Romero becomes the 185lb champion.
20. Joanna ex-champion becomes champion again, then becomes ex-champion when Tatiana Suarez beats her.

Yeah, same with me on both. I'm sure I heard a wee while back that Chandler has one fight left on his Bellator deal, so I figured with him not champion there any more, it may be time for him to test himself at the top.

Dammit, I wish I'd have thought about the DC one Merc, that seems like a really good shout.

I hope you're wrong with 1 and 4. I can see that number being too low for #2
