Welcome back mate.

If anyone can give us an honest answer on who the hottest ring girls is, it's Paddy!

Definitely Arianne guys!! I have first hand experience. Logan is good but for me Arianne in the flesh was the business. I think Kingfedor would disagree with me though!!

I think we'll have to go to Burrso for the deciding vote in that case!

Hes not fussy!!

Harsh!

BEST FIGHTER: Jose Aldo

WORST FIGHTER: Sylvia

BEST HEAVYWEIGHT: Fedor

BEST LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT: Lyoto Machida

BEST MIDDLEWEIGHT: Dan Henderson

BEST WELTERWEIGHT: GSP

BEST LIGHTWEIGHT: Shinya Aoki

BEST FEATHERWEIGHT: Jose Aldo

BEST BANTAMWEIGHT: Brian Bowles

FIGHT OF THE YEAR: Sanchez vs Guida

SNOOZEFEST FIGHT OF THE YEAR: Ryan Jimmo vs Emanuel Newton (MFC 23) Do not under any circumstances watch this fight. Leites against Silva in a major event.

KO OF THE YEAR: Any other time it would be Aldo on Swanson, but I am going for Hendo over Bisping. The shut the fuck up punch on the ground swayed it.

SUBMISSION OF THE YEAR: Imada on Masvidal, with BJ on Florian a very close second. I liked the way BJ set the choke up.

BEST PROMOTION: As much as I hate to say it, the UFC. It is the only MMA we get on tv in NZ, even though it is all PPV. Strikeforce will push them close next year.

BEST EVENT: I'm going to be optimistic and say UFC 107

BEST MMA WEBSITE: The Armbar

I'm going to total up the votes now.

The results are in. Congratulations to The Armbar for winning website of the year!
