[Sweater of AV]

Takeda-Kume at Rizin 27. Daley-Homasi was also a great fight.

Is this UFC only?
Why not Fedor Emilianenko Def Timothy Johnson ???

 

[HHJ]

For me it was Yan vs Sandhagen. Highest level MMA fight in a very long time.

Well,it was a short one,but Fedor is life,and Fedor is love.

 

[HHJ]

Chandler has worked out so well for the ufc. Great signing. Brings the action every single fight win or lose.

Yeah,you know we gonna see some DRAMA when that guy gets in there. I just feel like he showboats too much.

It was short, which is a good thing! I would have a heart attack if it was a long fight!!
But the sweet combination he caught Tim with... at the stage Fedor is.... it made my whole year, man!!!
it was a fucking privilege to watch the Emperor in 2021 !!!

 

[HHJ]

I know folks will say he already won one but...

I was outta my seat walking round the Living Room... doing...

I couldnt believe what I'd just seen. There was no tell on that elbow. I just rocketed out of hell,and banished Reyes to the shadow realms

Since the rampage fight,he's looked lighter on the feet,and the hand speed is back baby

So many amazing and exciting moments have happened this year, and it has been my honor to share them with all of you. Whether it's a great knock out, a quick submission, or even a DOCTA STOPPAGE!!!! sharing those experiences makes it that much better. But let's be honest, nothing really beats an inspired back and forth where neither fighter wants to give an inch and both give their sacrafice to the JBG. So I would like to thank the PBP CREW and the ENTIRE sherdog community for sharing these candidates for FIGHT OF THE YEAR with me.

Chandler has worked out so well for the ufc. Great signing. Brings the action every single fight win or lose.

Absolutely, all of Chandler’s fights have been bangers. I can’t help but wonder if he could’ve accomplished more and been in better form if he’d come to the UFC 3-4 years earlier though. But he’s still an elite and dangerous fighter, and super fun to watch.

Fedor got shafted in every category this year. Not even a nominee for KO of the year.

God damn right sir.
He'll always be the best, no matter what people say.
The ones that watched him know, even if they say different.

FEDOR FTW

Voted Holloway vs. Rodriguez. It was 5 rounds, technical, exciting, momentum swings and an underdog who showed exactly who he was after a long time away from the game.

Close fight too.

I went with Gaethje vs Chandler but this fight made me pause and really consider it as well. Yair was better than expected. Max was Max. Fantastic showing by both.
