Media Sherdog’s 2024 Fighter of the Year (and the winner is...)

[usernamee]

Full agree! The right choice!

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Good winning via KO in the second and third round against the 2nd and 3rd greatest fighters of your division> rematching a dude you already beat a year ago by TKO on short notice, and fighting the 8th ranked contender.

What's really absurd is that Topuria wasn't even a nominee for the World MMA Awards Fighter of the Year.

They say it's because the Holloway knockout happened after the nomination period, but that's dumb.

And that's why I seldom pay attention to these awards.

I reckon he's already there

 

[Steve Fox]

Deserved. Alex would be deserved too.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Fuck Topuria.

It's still the right pick.

I wouldn't have been mad at Pereira either for the finishes and short notice fights as well.

I hope he fights Evloev. I’m dying to see how that goes.

Ilia KO's him in the 1st or 2nd rd is my guess.

I honestly have no idea. Feels a little bit like one of those unstoppable force meets immovable object kind of matchups. I'm highly intrigued.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Not Alex?

 

[Sweater of AV]

I'll have to watch some of this guy's fights.

 

[HavokHarmon]

I'd probably have gone with Poatan for his last minute step ups to save cards, but Topuria definitely smashed two of the best in his division.

Yeah I’m not mad at either one winning, they’ve both had a spectacular 2024.
