Has it been a vintage year in MMA so far? Thought it may be fun to get your guys opinions as how the year is panning out so far, just as a change of pace. Will do another one in December if this thread takes off. So what's your opinions on... Fighter of the year? Fight of the Year? Ko' of the Year Sub of the year Biggest Upset Biggest disapointment Best event Break out/most improved fighter of the year And just for a bit of forum banter Best/Worst poster? Best/Worst Thread? Best/Worst post? Funniest post? Most idiotic post? And any other topics Ive left out I will add. Hopefully get a nice summary of how 2011 has gone so far, or be an epic fail as people cant be bothered.
I can tell you the biggest disapointenement this year was prolly GSP VS Shields.... at least IMO I'm gonna try to fill the rest a little later !
Fighter of the year? Jon Jones - ended Bader's unbeaten streak and demolished Shogun in two breathtaking displays. Fight of the Year? Hmmmmm Diaz vs Daley or Edgar vs Maynard Ko' of the Year ANDERSON SILVA vs Vitor Belfort Sub of the year PABLO GARZA vs Yves Jabouin Biggest Upset Hasn't really been one - Shields taking two rounds off St. Pierre probably (although tbh I thought that was a bad call) Biggest disappointment UFC's injury crisis - all but one show (UFC 129) has lost either their main event or co-main event. Its incredible they haven't had to cancel shows to be honest. Best event UFC 129 up until the third round of the main event Break out/most improved fighter of the year Brian Stann
See I really didn't expect much from GSP vs Shields going in so I wasn't disappointed. Indeed first two rounds were MUCH better than I thought they were going to be.
I thought it was only about the fighting....yeah Zuffa buying SF was the biggest **** to happen this year in MMA.... ****in business as usual...**** money man !
Fighter of the year? Jon Jones, I think he's a lock for establishing his place at the top of the 205 ers Fight of the Year? Gray V Frankie, epic, epic fight. Ko' of the Year Im gonna go for Stann v Leben, not the prettiest, just for the amount of punishment Chris took before it was over Sub of the year Korean Zombie's Twister v Garcia Biggest Upset Fedor V Big Foot Biggest disapointment Zuffa buying SF Best event UFC 129 Break out/most improved fighter of the year Mighty Mouse has become one of my new must see fighters
Yeah Nev **** Zuffa Dana's a **** (please ignore Ive almost exclusively picked UFC fighters atsch) And good call on the injuries Will.
Bah, personnaly I don't thinik monopoly is a good thing. It was for sell, they bought it, business deal I understand that. But it will only suck more for the fighter. Best move of DW and props to him for that, is the medical insurance for all the fighter. But IMO that coming kinda late, but at least they have it now. I still find it amazing that people think it's ok for any **** to bash on someone just because they don't want to make business with them.
