Bubba Smith: Sep 27, 2004; Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Weidman for beating Anderson twice.

bundt I appreciate you making GBS threads all over the rinky-dink fighter of the year award but other real sports get to have MVPs awarded. fighter of the year is the only thing we have, please do not take that away from us

Theres no way benson henderson was fighter of the year. Anderson killed Rich + Chael + Bonnar. jones beat 3 guys too. I agree with jones for 2011 because he beat machida

4 years ago was Jon Jones for having the best year in MMA history. 3 years ago was... Strikeforce Ronda maybe? That is retrospect though. Maybe Jones again.

He's 155 Vitor with all the baggage that goes along with it and manages to be much less interesting to watch with a head like a brick. He's fine in all areas, but he's just merely "fine". He is the worst case of an all-rounder in that he excels in no area except EPO assisted cardio.

Either way RDA is taking on Cerrone and/or Khabib next and i don't think hes a favourite in either match, even with the win over Cerrone previously (before losing to Khabib). I dont know RDA just doesnt gel with me, he just seemed to ne "there" and on the list of people i just never got. Hell i still think of TJ Grant more than RDA and hes never fighting again.
