There are probably a few I am forgetting. Apologies to any Sherbros that slipped through the cracks.
On top of my head...
@Zebra Cheeks - Imo the best poster in the heavies in the Covid era, hands down. Very knowledgeable and has passion for MMA. Really great guy, very helpful, always keeps an open mind and really funny. I owe a lot of things to this guy and he has my utmost respect.
@Jackonfire - aka the GOAT. Very hardworking in the PBP threads. Very helpful. Down to earth and chill guy. Very lenient at times and lets the guys have the right amount of fun and laughter in the heavies.
@Rebelfett - the self proclaimed 'P4P worst mod' but he's definitely not. Aside from the heavies, he has been very active in other subforums, and always spreads a positive vibe wherever he goes. This guy WORKS his ass off. Don't forget how he gives 'likes' on every post, in every PBP, for a WHOLE year.
@Substance Abuse - prolly the most active guy in the heavies, even before he turned blue, hands down. Straight up no BS poster who has kept it real since day 1. I've known this guy since I was a white belt and he has checked me a couple of times (the hard way) but it DID made me a better poster. He's doing God's work in the heavies and one of the most dedicated and hardest workers in the forums. Realest guy in the room
@PurpleStorm - Nicest guy in the heavies. Always spread positivity and good vibes in the forums. Very active in the PBPs and is very level headed on whoever he interacts with in the forums. If ever you had an interaction with him, you're instantly friends, guaranteed.
@bigwaverider - Shoop GOAT. Stellar work on the Shoop contests and Avatar threads. There's a reason he's won this award twice already, and it's his works. Great guy too, very friendly and very helpful.
@Ironnik94 - Top notch poster and highly cerebral with his takes on topics/discussions and breaking down fights. Really enjoyed reading his posts and takes on upcoming matches and predictions. He's that damn good.
@fortheo - Highly knowledgeable and excellent MMA poster. His posts are always quality posts. You always learn a new thing or two whenever you come across one of his posts/replies on threads. He's a Sherdog gem.
@HHJ - OG poster who is always fun to be around. Always had good (and funny) takes and replies to every topic and keeps the threads going. I always have that respect for this guy for being a heavies mainstay all through these years and it was a pleasure meeting him.
@Reign009 - when talking about presence in the heavies, he is your guy. He may have short/brief replies most of the time but it keeps the threads going, and suddenly, those threads were alive. That's what I love about this guy. A great poster as well and has kept it real in the forums. Him breaking to the top 20 'most likes' on the members page this year is an indication that posters like his stuff.
@Kryptt - Worldwide MMA PBP King. Very kind and thoughtful on tagging the boys when there's a non UFC event going on. One of the best posters which is known for this unique quality in the forums. Much props to his effort. Also a solid all around poster. Can do shoops, avatars, PBP threads, you name it.
@KazDibiase and @Ladder Master - for all the OUTSTANDING gifs. Salute to you guys. Thank you for all the gifs all these years. You're an asset to the Heavies. And btw, Kaz might prolly defend his title again this year. Let's not forget he's the reigning, defending, undisputed POTY.
@TARTARA - If there's a best newcomer award, TRTR wins hands down. A very loyal poster who emerged as one of the best Shoopers we have. Props to all his effort and for being a positive presence in the forums.
@Dead Kennedy - For his weekly "what's everyone eating, drinking, etc." threads. Somehow a fight night isn't complete without those threads. Is also well respected by his peers, and has shown great support in different events on the community.

Whether it's keen analysis, making me laugh my ass off, or just generally lifting the spirits of the entire thread, these posters always seem to be able to come through in one way or another for me.
Awesome job on the thread, @giovanni_ss It really looks great, and is a great tribute to FrankieNYC.
If I said what I liked about each of these posters, I’d be writing this post forever. So I’m just gonna slap down some names and try my best not to forget anyone.

+ Big up to everyone else of the PBP regulars!
As a lot of you know, I have a lot of love for this sub. I can name about 500 posters I really enjoy the presence of, so this is tricky. If you’re left off I really apologize. I do make an effort to mix it up.
@TARTARA - one of the most pleasant surprises of the year. I initially didn’t really understand what was going on, but once I got to know him and some of the shoop guys took him under their wing, he’s turned into a really great presence. Contributions for shooping is fantastic, and very comical and fun.
@fortheo - I will always nominate this poster. Hands down, one of the most intelligent, reasonable, and well spoken guys on the board. Shares my love for some of my favorite fighters like rob font and Calvin Kattar.
@giovanni_ss - this last year he’s been the premier thread starter for news threads. Not only does he update them, keep them current, label them concisely and add relevant media, but he also typically adds polls and doesn’t shy away from the lesser stories that still generate fun discussion. On top of that, he stepped up as a mod a good chunk through the year, and has made massive contributions on the back end. Plus, he’s clearly one of the nicest guys on the forum.
@Hellowhosthat - Funny, charismatic…but more than anything else he consistently blows me away with his in depth knowledge of worldwide MMA and non ufc orgs. The guy really cares about the sport and I can’t wait to see what kind of new ideas he’ll continue to bring forward.
@Viking Power - one of the most enjoyable regulars on the website. I’ve had the pleasure of talking with him a few times, and the discussions are always outstanding. Very friendly, very reasonable. Great temperament. I always get excited when I have a notification from him cause I know it’ll be a solid chat.
@Kryptt One if the most fun regulars in the pbp. From calling for everyone to finish their drink after a nut shot, to comical gifs, I always enjoy his presence, and it wouldn’t feel like a true pbp if there’s no @Kryptt
@Substance Abuse This guys grown so much from the time I first met him. He’s always been a fun poster, but he’s definitely ramped up the intelligent posting and added a calmness to his demeanor that suits him really well.
@PurpleStorm - If you don’t know, now you know. Coolest car in the heavies, and arguably one of the nicest dudes you’ll ever meet. He’s really taken to the mod thing on, and I suspect will be a top class mod for a very long time on the website.
@Shay Brennan - newer poster who I have really high hopes for. Very engaged in a lot of fun discussions, and recently has been making some ranking/rating threads that are quite fun.
@Ironnik94 - What can I say? He’s a main stay in the heavies by now. Classy. Very intelligent. And I have to say the shoops he did this year for ms paint were fucking great.
@BFoe - One of the dudes that keeps me coming back every year. There’s a familiarity and level of sincerity in his posts that makes him very enjoyable to chat with. Lots of fun on fight nights, and he’s brought some great energy to the plat pick ems and I’d argue, has really brought that part of the website to life.
@Jackonfire - I mean, he’s the goat. Most consistent, fair, and overall chill mod. His constant dedication to making timely pbp threads makes him a lock in for me every year.
I might add some more later but this is it for now. Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for making this forum a better place
