What was 2017's best gift to MMA fans?

[Brock Tober]

I'll start:

1) Francis making the HW division exciting again

and

2) Mayweather silencing Conor fanboys

What say Sherdog?

 

[mb23100]

Werdumerang

 

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

Conor/Floyd making everyone talk about something MMA-related.

 

[DetachedOrchid]

Mediros vs Oliverra

And Rose vs Joanna

 

[Fraz]

UFC Fight Pass™

 

[IndyCovaHart]

GSP already going away just as quickly as he unretired.

Thanks for dropping by.

Please come again whenever you spot another serendipitous non-challenge.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Bisping losing (getting finished) his belt. Ducked the top contender for a "Money-Fight" he thought would be easy.

 

[Miq]

 

[x__stylez__x]

Conor showing all of us that he’s ducking top competition.

 

[SuperNerd]

 

[IndyCovaHart]

That’s no gift, man.

That’s scary as fuck.

Alistair has been a cocky bastard for most of his career but that was an ugly KO with an even uglier follow up.

May God have mercy on his soiled shorts.

 

[Within the Living Death]

That doesn't get any less brutal the more I watch it. It will go down as one of the best MMA KOs ever.

 

[Chomsky Honk]

TJ vs Cody and MJ/Eddie vs Gaethje were awesome fights

 

[giusti825]

Robert Whitaker being given the title and respect he deserves....

 

[Workaholic]

UFC 217

And Justin Gaethje coming to the UFC

 

[20falarVerdades]

Platinum Mike Perrys black belt hands

 

[PeterGriffin]

UFC 217.

Three cocky champs and Johny Burgers getting put in their place all in one night.

 

[MRT]

GSP already going away just as quickly as he unretired.

Thanks for dropping by.

Please come again whenever you spot another serendipitous non-challenge.

I see it quite differently, though don't deny he cherry picked that opportunity.

I see GSP as giving MMA fans two gifts: he rid the MW division of a lame champ who hijacked the division with defenses against non-contenders...and he showed Conor and everyone else what should be done when there is clearly no intention to defend a belt...VACATE.
