The 2017 Heavies Awards - Best Poster of the Year

[StoneWT]

Gotta go with Inga. Good humor and good analysis. Credit for hanging In a mostly male, shithole environment like this dump.

 

[Thesnake101]

Gonna support a fellow Worldwide poster in Meathead Jock.

Our subforum might be dead, but shit, at least we don't get 20 Conor related threads made on the reg.

 

[Oooxente]

Really sorry,too many people i like to read and follow in that list.

If they made a “worst poster of the year”

I can easily pick at least 2 useless frequent abusers who roam through the heavies.

 

[souvlaki]

Did KONE win last year? Whatever happened to that guy?

 

[The Schmoop]

@Arm Barbarian should be on this list.

2017 Poster of the Year​

Hey everybody, welcome to the 2017 Heavies Awards! I'm jeicex and I'll be your cruise captain for the evening! Thanks to the great nomination thread put together by Meathead Jock and after ample discussion among the mod booth, I'm happy to present the 20 nominees for Poster of the Year! This is the first of many in a series of year-end awards that you will all be able to vote on, and we thought it best to start with you, the posters.

Here we go!

The Nominees!

@ArtOfDrowning
The first of several repeat nominees for this contest, he still lives and breathes the PBPs so you can find him there if anywhere.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT CHOKE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGHT MIIIIKEEE. HE IS OUT MIKE, HE IS OUT COLD!!!! Oh he just got out and he is fine....nevermind, carry on Mike.

Ahhhh absolutely Joe."

@Codpiece
Still one of the nicest posters on the site, you'd be real hard pressed to hear a bad word about him.

"That's funny. He is one strange cat. I'd love to shake his hand though, he's given some great moments to fight fans."

@Death By Samson
Consistently entertaining, I know two things if I see this avatar - a) it's going to be something funny and 2) I'd hate for that face to be the last thing I see before my lights go out.

"It was always obvious that T-Rex wouldn't ever be champ."

@Flex Plexico
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment, would you make that thread about exotic subs or just let it slip?

"Pretty Much agreed w TS

JUST woke up

Front porch.

Sour patch kids and backwoods

I'm getting old"

@FrankieNYC
Back where I come from, we'd call a guy like him "Frankie Numbers." You want to know about the ins and outs of the fight biz? Ask Frankie Numbers.

"I think what WME-IMG meant, was partnering with whomever they finalize domestic TV rights with and making the deal an umbrella for all content. That way Fox or whoever will promote the PPV as well as their own network airings of UFC. The way content distribution is fragmented these days, odds are UFC will air on various platforms and the juggling aspect makes it so much easier if all sides work together."

@GearSolidMetal
One word, and you can probably figure out which one that is, too. He might not always be around the heavies, but he makes his presence known elsewhere for sure 100%.

"Criteria: Who wood you rather, when they were each in their prime?"

Hans, bubby, goodfella69's your white knight.

"And this time, he means biscuits."

@IngaVovchanchyn
This isn't bizarro Sherdog feminism, Inga's very capable of standing and banging with the best of them around here. Phrasing.

"True. But if McGregor saved a baby from a burning building his haters would say he was trying to get burned so he wouldn't have to fight Ferguson.

There's plenty of stupid to go around when it comes to opinions on McGregor."

@Mark Zima
Speaking of feminism, if you want the latest and greatest of the wonderful world of WMMA, talk to Mark Zima. Did you know that Zimas made a comeback and are being sold again?

“I kid you not: Randa Markos's substitute for training at altitude, to prepare for fighting at Mexico City, has been training in a hot attic.

From this interview...”

@Meathead Jock
An equal opportunity fan of the sport, his admiration for Ben Askren shows no bounds, so much so that I sometimes wonder if he is Askren.

“Dana is one of two twitter accounts that has me blocked.”

@paynebringer
With a “take no prisoners” approach to MMA, this dude lives and breathes the sport, making almost every PBP thread a trip to be a part of.

“How can I not go for a man named Wang...”

@Reach4theSky
We don’t have many OGs still around posting on their 10+ year old accounts – think of what he lived through – the Nos Plague, the White Belt Inquisition…the Brady Bunch Reunion!

“Watched UFC 1 live in a pool hall in 93. Then started renting them on VHS in the mid 90's..didn't watch pride till about 2006 ..

I'm old. ”

@Sapp
This newcomer has really come out swinging right out of the gate, and put himself on the map with his solid breakdowns, humor, and - get this - logic.

“Fact: CM Punk has never lost a striking exchange.”

@SeattleFightFan
The O-est of G’s on this list here, makes Reach look like an orange belt. About as professional and respectful as it gets in this neck of the woods.

“why use critical thinking when you can just throw platitudes around, right TS?

and if you disagree with me, you hate freedom.”

@Sgt Smith
I’m sure there’s a “he’s old” joke in here somewhere, but this dude – nay, gentleman - is one of the most wise and matoor posters on the site. Also, he’s older than you are, but we won’t hold it against him.

"Leon, you had your ass kicked in the second round. Did that have an impact on your strategy in the third?"

@Soul On Ice
Sometimes he makes me wonder if Jones was innocent.

“Desserts happen, happened to Gabe Rudiger too”

@Substance Abuse
Chances are, you’ve replied to one of his posts before. One of the more prolific posters, and you always seem to know where you stand with him. Future "former mod" right here.

“New fans suck, lol.”

@toe hold
If you want to know the latest news about fights, he's your huckleberry. He's broken scoops on here that are barely even whispers elsewhere in the community, so clearly he's a guy who knows a guy.

"Ferguson/Lee is a great pairing right now as both guys are really streaking. Would be an awesome FN main event, or co-feature for Fox card.

Just can't see spending PPV money, just because an "*" was added to the matchup."



View attachment 320573
@Typrune Goatley
That other newcomer that has taken the place by storm. High level reference and MMA meme game right here.

“Joe Pesci would slap Conor around. Conor would be SHOOK in the presence of a real gangster. Pesci via intimidation.”

@wilKO
Riding his momentum from last year's memorable Q&A appearance, this dude has proved he's a contender and not just shoop-bait after all.

"Just get rid of all the cheaters and have Bisping fight Diaz on every card with Mark Hunt as ref"

Some heavy hitters on the list Congrats to the winner well deserved Art earned his weight in likes from me. I'm honored to be mentioned among you deplorables mofo's


2018 Keep Fighting!

 

[SummerStriker]

In a world full of takers, my vote goes to @GearSolidMetal for giving back. God bless you and your kind heart.

I'll second this.

 

[Buff]

Went @wilKO because of his "Shoop dat sherdogger thread" because that was hilarious, and he deserves credit for taking it like a champ, but if it was about who is the best consistent poster I'd have had like 5 to choose from...

Other potential categories:

Comeback of the year
Banning of the year (has to be done)
Shooper of the year
Thread of the year

 

[Kingz]

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

Seriously, I voted for @IngaVovchanchyn because she's probably the most objective regular. If he/she truly does have a vagina, that's just a bonus.


















Sup girl?

 

[Paynebringer]

I'm not posting the tag list for you all to vote for me.

@FrankieNYC and @Death By Samson are A+ quality Sherdoggers.

But if you do vote for me, it'll be appreciated.

[Ares Black]

89.7% of his posts were about McGregor. He needs to diversify for consideration.

In his defense, 89.7% of all Sherdog posts are about McGregor.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Other potential categories:

Shoop of the year
Thread of the year

These are two I'm going to start looking at soon, especially the latter. I might combine the two.

 

[datfnguy]

Do any of you remember KoFinger? I wanted to vote for him. Him or that idiot who always used to call himself the best poster on Sherdog. I just remember his name started with G.
In any case went with @paynebringer

 

[Sunken]

HONNORABLE MENTION @TCE

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

In his defense, 89.7% of all Sherdog posts are about McGregor.

This is true. In everyone's defense, like I said the other day, we can't talk about Fedor getting KO'd by 92 year old MW forever.

 

[Son of Werdum]

Where's @Coolidge?

Watching him get burned and banned in that prediction thread was probably my favorite Sherdog memory this year.

 

[kflo]

God damn it!

 

[Buff]

These are two I'm going to start looking at soon, especially the latter. I might combine the two.

Nice... I been keeping my eye on this one if you want any suggestions? Shoop artist of the year would be a good one too if you got time? I wonder if @bigwaverider can pull off a win this year despite being "retired" lol!

 

[LuchaBear]

Fuck @FrankieNYC, that Dave Meltzer wannabe bitch made dork.

That's all I have to say about that.
