-Firework in your arse stupid award

-He's a weasel, but Helwani is good at his job

BREAKTHROUGH FIGHTER OF THE YEAR

There would have been two names that spring mind, yet neither on the list for some reason.

Rory MacDonald and Melvin Guillard?!

FIGHTER OF THE YEAR - Gotta be Anderson

Defending his belt and taking the piss doing it,against two of the very top challengers in his division,gives him my vote,though Hendo winning the strikeforce belt and beating fedor makes it a closer call.

BREAKTHROUGH FIGHTER OF THE YEAR - Demetrious Johnson

I don't think there is a fighter on that list that comes close to Johnson,2 fights in the UFC against Kid and Torres,wins them both and lands a Title shot.
I'd like to of seen Rory McDonald on that list

FIGHT OF THE YEAR - Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard at UFC 125

SUBMISSION OF THE YEAR - Zombies Twister

Beautiful sub.
Don't know why Tito's is even on there

REFEREE OF THE YEAR - Herb Dean

RING GIRL OF THE YEAR - Arianny Celeste

FEMALE FIGHTER OF THE YEAR - Miesha Tate

INTERNATIONAL FIGHTER OF THE YEAR - Alexander Gustafsson

It was a close one for me between Siver and Gustafsson,I think Siver beating georgie was the best win out of the two for this year,but i've personally enjoyed Gustafsson's fights more this year.


KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR - Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort at UFC 126

Nothing really between Silva's and Machida's,but i enjoyed Anderson's more because it wasn't on my boy Randy


COMEBACK OF THE YEAR - Cheick Kongo vs. Pat Barry at UFC Live 5

Who didn't say "what the fuck" after watching that
Warren vs Sotto was a crazy comeback though.

Tito wins one fight against a hugely over-rated fighter, then gets his ass handed to him and gets nominated??

MMA JOURNALIST OF THE YEAR The Best of an Appalling Bunch Award

* John Morgan
* Gareth A. Davies
* Josh Gross
* Ariel Helwani
* Ben Fowlkes

They all suck. Nobody will actually win this award for being good, they'll win it for sucking slightly less than the rest. Gareth A. Davies and Josh Gross are two of the worst sports journalist in the world. Morgan and Fowlkes are both fools. Helwani is just a kiss ass.

When do these awards start from? January? Or is it an August to August?
