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.

Thanks anyone who mentioned me. You're selfless and a scholar who is also more than likely a bit bigger than your average Suredawgger at 6'7", 266.

This isn't is the easiest award to choose for, as there's only ten people who will be nominates, but there's a ton of people who are definitely deserving. From the Play by Plays to random posts and hilarious shoops that have brought happy tears to my eyes, I love this place and the following posters are those who have made it that much better this past year.

@Zebra Cheeks @giovanni_ss @Rebelfett @KazDibiase @HHJ @IngaVovchanchyn @MXZT @Ares Black @BFoe @Kryptt @TARTARA @Hellowhosthat @Carrotman23 @RonJhun808 @Sweater of AV @bigwaverider @Ironnik94 @HI SCOTT NEWMAN @Jackonfire @fortheo @Clementine

If I left anyone out, apologies. Merry Christmas folks!

Lot of great options. Thanks to those who actually try and post like it isn't a bunch of shit posting these days.

@RonJhun808

I'm sure my tired old synapse is forgetting some. But i do appreciate those that do their best to keep the original vibes of sherdog going.

Edit: forgot to mention also in loving memory of FrankieNYC. He will always be one of our boys, and remembered forever on these forums.

As well as i would like to give a shout out to @Dreyga2000 as i believe them to be one of the more improved posters. I'm fairly certain they have me on ignore as I was giving them the gears in a previous thread of theirs long ago. But i do find their threads and discourse to be much improved from what I used to give them crap for. Might not even see this cause like i said fairly certain i'm on ignore. But tip of the cap no less.

@KazDibiase - obviously

Thanks brothers! Truly appreciate it. There's a lot of great guys here and whoever wins I'm happy for. Happy holidays!

Thank you so much, I appreciate it so much. I totally agree with you.. I love this place and its the best forum on the internet hands down. Remember back when social media came such as facebook, twitter, instagram etc etc.. everyone said that will be the death of forums and they will no longer exist, its over. BUT look here we still are! strong as ever, the numbers on the forums are huge, thousands upon thousands of visitors per day. This is just proof how how awesome these forums are.

The recent new Mod additions have been excellent as well, all great posters, I knew you all would make great mods.

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you are all having a great day.

Thanks for the shout!

And fuck, how did I omit @Hellowhosthat ??
Add him to my nomination list. Knows a hell of a lot more than me about worldwide MMA, and is a great contributor. He makes the kinds of thorough, knowledgeable threads I like.

He did doubt the great Fedor Emelianenko would beat Tim Johnson, but he’s a good poster in spite of that.

 

[Gio]

Thanks brothers! Truly appreciate it. There's a lot of great guys here and whoever wins I'm happy for. Happy holidays!

You're very deserving, champ. I guarantee every poster and nominee in here has you on their top 5. Thanks for all the hard work!

I know right!? I got best attitude, which I’ll gladly take, as Im the type of guy who makes sure everyone is having a damn good time, even if it means more work. And you are the best cat, paws down…

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Do we do a worldwides award? I just figured it was for overall contribution to the MMA side of the site.

 

[Deleted member 405583]

i thank you all for my nomination, and i accept the poster of the year award.

Being IRL friends with @Slobodan disqualifies you, sorry. He's the WORST
