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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    Can only guess because of how inactive he was.
