My award predictions:

FOTN: Stann/Santiago (if it lasts a round)
SOTN: Mcdonald (I'm not picking any subs but if I had to pick I'd pick him)
KOTN: Boetsch (Grove is always on the receiving end of highlight reel KO's)

I was going to pick Barao too, he's a stud on the ground, but I think Escovedo has the chops to not get submitted.
