A lot of talk has gone on here for a long time. Debates in multiple threads. And there are some threads similar to this, but have gone no where. Id like to get an official junkie vote. Hope everyone who frequently posts chooses to write up their selections for a vote and this gets picked up.
Id like everyone to post their choices for:
Male Fighter of the Year
Female Fighter of the Year
Fight of the Year
KO of the Year
Submission of the Year
Event of the Year
Coach of the Year
Fight Team/Camp of the Year
Breakout Fighter of the Year
Biggest Shock/Upset of the Year
Feel free to branch outside of the UFC for your picks. This is within all of MMA. If enough people post their choices. I'd like to possibly make, or see, other threads created with polls made up of the Top4 nominated choices for each category. If I'm forgetting one, or you'd like to see a category added, ask away.

So which of the four "Of The Year" Threads are we supposed to post in? And why is this the only MMA forum where that thread isn't made by an administrator/moderator so we actually know it counts?

there were a few made, but none encouraged a vote in finality. They were more like "Who is your pick to win as of now?" Don't know why this wasn't made by a mod already. But as long as everyone votes & contributes Ill try my best to make sure its legit. Or if a mod/admin decides to pick it up instead. just post votes in here & its easy to keep track of

Bisping over Rockhold was a bigger upset than Amanda over Ronda or Cody over Dominic? lol No.

In terms of betting odds, absolutely. Hell, I don't see Amanda crushing Ronda as even an upset.

You're thinking in today's mindset.
If we were having this discussion a year ago, you would have most certainly thought it would be difficult, if not impossible.

Why would we vote based on 2015 standards? Why would we not be thinking in today's mindset? In the present?

I thought this was gonna be about the forum itself not just a 20th of the year thread for fighters

to be honest, I thought a mod or admin would eventually create those poster awards. Im taking this thread seriously tho. So many debate across the forum. I want finality. Thats why this one is different from the other 20
