I thought Maldonado won but it was close. I like the way you have Tyson Griffin on there :)

Kingsbu/Maldonado or ***uda/RIng are my two choices for robberies of the year. Those fights were clearly wrong. Omigawa/ELkins was pretty bad too, but not quite as bad imo.

hendo for fighter of the year.  He won a belt, on a win streak after the sheilds loss and ended a legend.

Upset of the year has to be Tito/Bader, that was nuts.

Don't know if it is the best, but I really enjoyed the Travis Browne KO of Stefan Struve.

The Jeffries KO wasn't even the best spinning backfist KO of the year. Makdessi's on Watson was waaaayyyy sweeter. Also, I think Kingsbury won his fight, I think Sanchez beat Kampmann. BRING IT ON FRIENDS!!!! I FEEL LIKE DISCUSSINNNNNN!!!!!!!!
