I keep looking for the redemption card that says "You are do to receive a full contact triangle courtesy of Ronda Rousey"

It's a tossup between Jon Anik and Mauro Ranallo for personality of the year.

It's a pretty pointless awards show though, if you ask me. Everything is dominated by UFC lol

Also, so many of these awards will be so inconclusive and highly debatable...like best ref, best coach, ring card girl...lol

How the hell did Jon Anik get nominated? That guy is terrible. And why do they even have a knockout of the year category? They might as well just hand it to Barboza.

How the fuck does Cesar Gracie get nominated for coach of the year?? I swear there is never any love for Zahabi and I may be a bit bias but I believe he is one of the greatest coaches in MMA and easily one of the best spoken.

Somewhere, Chris Cyborg is reading this and spiraling into a jealous rage...


Also why the hell isn't Ellenberger vs Kampmann in comeback of the year?

If Barboza doesnt win KOTY the awards are rigged.

Wait just one minute here..Fuckin Bisbing for international fighter of the year?

The guy has one win in 2012 and only 2 fights, That win is also a DEC against Stann..

This is why this guy gets so much hate he does absolutly fuck all and gets credit for it on a continuous basis.

I could name 30 non North American fighters more deserving of a nomination then this guy. Hell I'd even vote Paulo Filho ahead of this guy.

Fights from sep 30 2011- sep 30 2012 are taken into account. He has his wins over Miller and Stann in that period. You are right though. He does not deserve it.

Renan Barao should be there over him. He should be in fighter of the year over Cormier as well.
