Rank those returning champs from most to least likely to repeat! Note, last year's champs at 141, 157 and HWT graduated.
1. Spencer Lee - short of injury this is a LOCK and 3x Hodge.
2. Yianni - yes he lost to Gomez but that's not happening again.
3. O'Toole - the weight is stacked but this kid is a stud
4. RBY - he's beaten fix in the finals twice already, no reason to think he can't again
5. Starroci - Lewis is still out there but Carter has taken care of him 2x in a row now.
6. Brooks - typically he would be as high as 3 but already has a loss this season.
7. Max Dean - honestly should have lost before the finals last year and has lost several matches already this year
