They get to decide who takes home an Award, who deserves honors for MMA accomplishments, who makes the sport more exciting and who makes it bigger and better. This is a special year for the World MMA Awards, and I look forward to celebrating our 10th Anniversary with the amazing MMA fans around the world.”

Luke Thomas not nominated for journalist of the year is absolutely unequivocally inadmissable

Stop being a hipster. Ariel is and has clearly been the best MMA journalist for quite a while now.

Ariel is the GOAT of creating drama. He's not the best journalist or even a good one. The guy barely even covers MMA events. When's the last time he even went to a non PPV fight? A non UFC MMA fight? He went to the Lomachenko Linares fight last weekend instead of covering MMA, that's how "good" of a journalist he is. Even a fat fuck like John Morgan travels to 10x more MMA events.

These awards are a joke lmao

Lomachenko vs Linares was the biggest fight last weekend if you're being impartial. I like MMA and even Japanese pro wrestling better than boxing but Lomachenko is a pretty big deal, he became the fastest 3 weight division champion in boxing history with that win. He also picked himself up off the canvas and came back for a stoppage win, which shows he's got a bit of grit to him as well. The relationships Ariel is able to build with certain fighters is pretty unparalleled as far as MMA journalists are concerned, watch him interact with Khabib or Rampage, no other journalist in MMA is like that.

Dana White was always my Friend Award.

Never My Friend:

Id like to see Kevin Weeks in the octagon. He claims he threw a linebacker into a wall at a peace march over 1970s/1980s Boston Busing feud.
