Please post honorable mentions if you have some in mind!
 
Gonna throw one in for Barberana vs Luque, but Gastelum vs Izzy or Colby vs Usman has this by a country mile.
 
It's pretty obviously Adesanya-Gastelum IMO, but Riddell-Mullarkey deserves an honourable mention.
 
The 2019 Fight of the Year: Izzy v Gastelum

My runner up:

Izzy vs Gas. Would also have been last year as well as the year before that imo.
 
Voted Tony and Cowboy because non of the others did much for me
 
Fedor-Rampage.

HM: Ogikubo-Ishiwatari and Riddell-Mullarkey.
 
Izzy Kelvin was fucking crazy....gets my Vote...

I'm sure there are some crazy fights in ACA over the last year...but if you want me to Name some...i really cant...because i never remember the guys names...
 
Izzy-Kelvin. Back and forth with both guys looking done at points. Great war.

DC-Stipe was #2 for me. DC seemed to be clearly winning then Stipe went to work with those body shots. Great comeback win and comeback from getting KO'd in the 1st fight.
 
Izzy Kelvin was fucking crazy....gets my Vote...

I'm sure there are some crazy fights in ACA over the last year...but if you want me to Name some...i really cant...because i never remember the guys names...

This was a hell of a show.
 
Our last voting category of the year and we only have about 50 votes? Come on now, keep this thread rolling.
 
Kamaru Usman v. Colby Covington (The King of Brazil).
 
No Whittaker vs Romero 2???
We don't have 2018 fights on 2019 polls.

And for those asking for Costa vs. Romero, which fight would you replace on this list for it? Maybe you can start a write in campaign. Buck the system.
