FOTY-Usman or Gane?

But its easier to be active as a contender than it is as a champ. 3 title defenses in less than 12 months is impressive for a champ.
Eh, 2 of Usman’s were against the same dude, who wasn’t even #1 contender. But he was pretty active, that’s true.
 
Its Usman if he beat Colby again. Dont see any other champs defending 3 times a year lol
 
If Gane beats Lewis and Ngannou, definitely Gane. Volkov, Jairzinho, Lewis, and Ngannou are all pretty dangerous guys to get past.

Masvidal never really should have had a title shot to begin with, Usman just wanted the payday, so those two fights should only count as 1 title defense.
 
Imagine Gane beats Lewis tomorrow via decision, and then goes and decisions Francis in December to win the HW title if that's when they decide to make the real title fight.

Now imagine that Usman goes in and finishes Colby in devastating fashion.

Who's FOTY? The guy who outpointed three top 5 contenders and the champion in one year, or the guy who notched three brutal title defenses.
The Pride of Nebraska would take it IMO.
 
its tough since Usman's 2021 would be very impressive, but Francis is the HW divisions boogeyman, (while Usman is WW's and cant beat himself), so id go with Gane
