[HC Daniel]

That sucks.

 

[Velasquez FC]

Just you wait... Nate Diaz will win fighter of the year.

 

[Flexwave2003]

Good for Michael Bisping, congrats brother! Another one to hang on the wall.

Who voted? Bisping's entire family and extended family?

I think it should have been Gus too but Bisping beat Chael.

 

[TASTEofmySCYTHE]

All 3 of Alex's wins were more impressive and against better fighters than Bisping's wins IMO.

I think it should have been Gus too but Bisping beat Chael.

Debatable I gave it to Chael but I wouldn't have complained if Bisping won.

I didn't even know Bisping fought this year.

It ended up coming down to 3 votes, and those just happened to be cast by the judges from Bisping vs. Hammill.

Hilarious!

What is the requirement for being considered an "international fighter".

 

[Velasquez FC]

Why was Kampmann nominated and GSP wasn't.

 

[Bovlowski]

Fight of the Year: Joe Lauzon vs. Jamie Varner.

C'mon. I love J-Lau but on a list with Hendo/Shogun, Chandler/Alvarez, and Jung/Porier this just makes no sense.

Miller win wasn't even 2012. Don't think this award is a big deal, but even someone like Struve deserved it over mike.

Well that's fucking stupid. Bisping gets outstruck loses a round to Mayhem, then still fails to knock him out, essentially TKOing him due to exhaustion, then loses to Chael in a competitive, but not terribly interesting fight. Bisping then finishes out the year with a lukewarm decision win over Brian Stann, in which he almost got Hendo'd again, and had to wrestle his way to a decision win.
Gustafsson, meanwhile knocks out Vladdy with a jab, dominates Thiago Silva in front of a home crowd in Sweden, then gets the biggest win of his career in a barn burner against Shogun Rua...I don't understand.

Why was Kampmann nominated and GSP wasn't.

Can only guess because of how inactive he was.
