only ufc fights? shoulda done all mma

this is my Flyweight Sub of the Year

Tim Elliot VS Josh Rave RFA 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XNerk7CaYM

Elliot's ticket to the UFC.

 

barry's KO over SDR was better than Lavar's imo

 

Swanson had 3 solid KO wins of 2012. Could give Jung the fight of the year and sub of the year at 145.

lauzon v. varner over lauzon/miller for 155 foty?

 

Just off the top of my head:

135 Sub - Jorgensen over Albert
170 KO - Hendricks over Fitch
205 KO - Machida over Bader

 

Not really a wrong answer there, but I lean towards Lauzon vs. Varner because of the slick finish.

 

i guess so.

i think i would put lauzon for fighter too, but i just might be too much of a fanboi.

 

Ya he takes both easily.

Zombie got SOTY from ESPN. and FOTY from Sherdog, and mmafighting.
