Post your nominations, OP will be updated regularly for the 2019 awards.

Digital Jedi has put together a fantastic Google Doc to help with the voting at the end of the year.

Digital Jedi posted:

I have been working on a project for this thread.

At the end of the year when we vote for each category everyone has a hard time between choosing what is available. Mainly cause so much poo poo happens it is hard remember every little thing.

I created a google sheet containing in category and every submission from this thread. I'm aiming to have videos (Full fights, full rounds, or highlights) of everything possible. I believe this will help so much at the end of the year that you can rewatch everything!

Here is the sheet. Comments are enabled. If anyone has any suggesting to improve it I am open to anything. Currently I have tabs for each category but I do plan on making one master tab with everything broken down.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a8ihHqq4WFd-tvw09zgtWoJczKO-qbQ2LPQPhO-WODc/edit?usp=sharing

Question - what's the difference between "Fight of the Year" and "Honourable Mention Fight of the Year"? Is it good fight vs comedy fight?

If so let's throw Mitrione vs Kharitonov into Honourable Mention FOTY.

Im not 100% sure how others use it, but I tend to consider Honorable Mention FOTY to be for wild brawls that are entertaining, but dont have a ton of technique, while stuff like Yair vs TKZ or Whittaker v Romero 2 are more straightforward FOTYC

Or if it’s a card that’s just crazy good like 189 and there are multiple fights that would be fight of the night on any other night, but are outshined by one standout.

Like just something worth a watch or rewatch after if you’re itching for a good fight.

That's basically how I think. You can't say barberena was throwing punches with good defence but it was a real fun fight.
