Fight of The Year- Fuck, this is a toughie. This of course could change but right now I'm going to go with Mark Hunt vs TK from PRIDE's Total Elimination Absolute 2006. Honourable mentions go to Penn/GSP, Forrest/Tito, Grove/Herman and Goulet/Cummo.

Fighter of The Year- Spencer Fisher, so far. A fun bout with Aaron Riley @ UFN III and some really kickass stuff with Sam Stout and Matt Wiman. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of him this year.

Show/PPV of The Year- UFC 58. Hominick/Edwards, Stout/Fisher, GSP/Penn and Franklin/Loiseau all were good-very good and the entire show clicked really well.

KO of The Year- Guillard/Davis, UFC 60. Honourable mentions go to Vera/Eilers and Alfonso/Sakurai.

Sub of The Year- Evan Tanner jumping down into the triangle choke on Justin Levens was pretty swank.

Upset of The Year- Mark Hominick tapping Edwards. I could care less that the triangle was shitty

Worst/Most Boring Fighter- Paulo Filhio dry-humping the Frog whose name escapes me @ Bushido was pretty shite.

Worst/Most Boring Fight of The Year- Rashad Fucking Evans.

Promotion of The Year- UFC.

Personal MMA Moment of The Year- St. Pierre pulls it out. Right up there with Team Canada winning gold in Utah in terms of amazing sporting moments for me. Casa De Curry was jumpin'.

Gonzaga/Jordan was from UFC 56 in November.

 

And seriously, that upset pales in comparison to Gomi/Aurelio, Mir/Cruz and even Overeem/Khanitorov.

 

Hunt has a minimal ground game and Josh is good at submissions. Almost everybody picked Josh by tapout for that fight. An upset would've been Hunt getting KO'd.
