Why do you think that this can happen?
 
i'am only talking about probablities so in ultra high energy collisions i think there is a probability of formation of black holes
 
Maybe you're thinking about the ideas from about 10 years ago where it was proposed that if there are extra dimensions which only affect gravity, gravity can be much stronger at high energies/small distances. For some values of the size of the extra dimensions there was a possibility that the LHC reached this energy and that the colliding protons would create a microscopic black hole.

This is one of the original articles examining BH production at the LHC:

This is one of the articles which proposed the extra dimension-scenario:

Of course, there hasn't been found any black holes at the LHC and many probably agree that these ideas were quite speculative.

Here is a review from the Particle Data Group on searches for extra dimensions:

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
