Agree FOTY is between

The groin shot that broke moreno's balls in half didnt help... the ey poke didnt help...also I think the last round fig was scared to touch him after noticing his arm was broken.

That kick to the balls was blatant as hell. I'm glad he got a point deducted. The result was Moreno on his knees about to cough up blood and Fig gets himself a little rest. How fucking convenient. Fig's a dirty ass fighter I hope Moreno beats him in the rematch.

Casuals watch HW. It is the least skilled division . KO percentage is higher but the defense like everything else is shit.

This is the opposite argument to the lighter weights suck argument which I've never cared for There are different factors that go into being successful in the different divisions. I enjoy each for their differences. Op was posting that lighter weights captured the most exciting fights this year like it was some abnomoly and I responded that avid fans alway knew this and it was not a suprise to us. It is only to the casual viewer because, like you agreed with me, they want finsihes. They do not want to watch a full 25 or 15 minute technical battle. The lack of finish power and higher technicality over a longer period in lower weights lead to longer wars that are more geared to capturing FOTY awards. This is not me shitting on lower weight class fighters.
 
I say Hooker vs Poirier, but Zhang’s will win because reasons
 
This argument that "casuals want KOs" only captures a small part of why flyweights don't get the same attention.

99% of the adult male US population is larger than 125. They don't take the smaller guys as seriously as the heavyweights. There are very few people they run into IRL who are 125 pounds as grown adult male. THis isn't a slam or a criticism on the guys who chose to down to that weight - it's reality.

Fig himself obviously doesn't weigh anywhere close to 125 - he hospitalized himself cutting down to that weight because for many people (inculding himself) it's not a normal weight to be as a male adult. Just stating the obvious. Not everything is related to KOs - there is a reason why there is this fascination of "baddest man on the planet". No one sees 125 pounders as the baddest men on the planet.

Please capitalize. I wasted a lot of time looking for a YouTube video of Dustin duking it out with a strung-out prostitute in New Orleans.

All the locals know if you get a prostitute from NOLA, it's a dude.

Moreno vs Fig was a better fight imo. Flyweight has always had the potential to be great and has always put on some fun fights. I just don’t understand why they cut half the division and then decided to keep it around. They even let Moreno go but then he came back and he’s put on some great fights.

115 WMMA at the elite level is usually quite good.

5th round was too stale in fig/moreno. obviously a great fight but Joanna/zhang should win it.
 
Can’t have a fight of the year in a fight that has zero knockdowns or zero fighter ever got rocked or wobbled.

Get that overrated joanna vs zhang pitter patty cake match out of my face

“But but but both women landed a lot”... yeah that makes it even worse .. all those shots landed and nobody got rocked =pitter patter pillow fisted patty cake fest. Why do people say that fight was good? How can nobody get rocked after so many shots landed? What a garbage fight that was. They say it was good cause so many shots landed. I say it’s nothing but than a display of weak baby wmma punching power, if nobody got hurt after so many shots landed
