Who is the fighter of the year?

[RockyLockridge]

Topuria, and it’s not even close imo.

Poatan

Not even close

something tells me it's closer than you guys think

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Poatan has fought like 10 times this year so yea easy decision

 

[DanDragon Machi]

Volk and Hollway >>>>>>>>> Jiri, Hill, Kalil

Fuck amount

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Year's not over yet

 

[Söze Aldo]

 

[DapperDave]

Deverses.

Like it.

Great argument and how he beat two all-time greats in his division should not be understated. Also, think Alex winning those three fights in a short amount of time is what's really wild. That's pretty impressive stuff.

Pereira’s short turnarounds were badass moves but I just don’t think you can argue Topuria has the far more significant wins.

This will sound like downplaying Pereira, which I don’t mean to do, but he beat two former champs with no defenses and a guy that didn’t deserve the shot. Topuria beat two all timers that were main stays at the top of the division for a long time.

Max's ear wiggle like Werdum's ear when he got ktfo by Junior

Agree, Top just viciously finished two of the best FW ever

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I wouldn't be upset whichever fighter gets the nod. They've both proven to be top flight talents and champions. They both made their respective weight classes interesting again. I don't knock either one winning, and whichever of them doesn't win any end of year accolades shouldn't be upset about it, as, in reality, both have had a memorable year.

Mods, plz hook it up w a poll.

What say you experts?

 

[sdpdude9]

Topuria. Taking nothing from Pereira but Topuria has the far more historically significant wins.

 

[Captain Insano]

Alex.

He's the bigger man with more power and doesn't do gay shit like stealing Max's point to the middle of the ring.

 

[KazDibiase]

Illa

 

[ElLunico]

Ilia hands down. Hes beaten 2 HOF fighters in very impressive fashion.

 

[duke_droese]

Poatan. More fights, brutal wins despite injuries/sickness and he got his black belt.

 

[Wise1]

It’s simple …

is KOing 2 FW GOAT Champs back to back > KOing 2 LHW Champs + Khalil

LoL, simple.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

I don’t even need to think about it, Ilia easily…Alex fought a complete can in his last fight.

 

[Kevster]

Yeah, hard to disagree.
