OK. Post UFC219 BUMP
Considering the events of the card, I think a lot of people may want to swap Cynthia Calvillo out for someone else (possibly Cyborg). If I get no answers, I may DM panelists who nominated Calvillo to see if they will swap their nomination (if there is no answer in the thread)
Another Reminder:
The original date for the nomination period to end was
Jan 4th
. Considering how long this thread has been up, Im thinking about reducing the closing date to either
Jan 3rd or 2nd
. Well see

Think I've made up my mind on the nomination close period:
The thread itself has been up for a while now and we have a very solid group of junkies who have posted their nominations.

.
Later that day, I will tally everything together and post the official (final) polls

True but He did fight John Lineker on Dec 30 had a crazy TUF gig and then backed up everything he said with a KO victory to beome the 135 lb king once again.
All WITHIN a year.
