VanZant/Namajunas is definitely a strong contender for this year's Carla Esparza Memorial Beatdown of the Year Award. But also so is Esparza/Joanna. Tough year for beatdowns.

Adding the turd of a Gonzaga fight that just happened to the worst fight list

Feb 18, 2005

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Some of the good fights this year are so good that I feel like the category needs subdivision somehow so they can all get permanent acknowledgement as totally loving owning.

You can nominate it but this is not even close to the worst thing this year, especially since you gotta give people in title fights a little more leeway

It could have been stopped, but a) Weidman was blocking quite a few of them and was still reacting as if he had his wits about him, and b) Dean stopped it 4 strikes in the next time Rockhold got the same position.

Letting Jacare come out for the second after he stumbled back to his corner was a worse call, and nobody's complaining about that one.

I dunno man. I mean, it was a beatdown and a half but so was Rose vs. PVZ. They're pretty much a wash imo.

Hunt / miocic had heartbreak factor. I will never watch that again. But I could see myself rewatching the rose fight.

I would agree with that. But without the Hunt=love factor I still call them even beatdowns.

Hunt was ugly, brutal and kind of stupid. Thug/Van Zant was a better watch and a more interesting match.

Make Hunt-Miocic a referee incompetence fight. Hunt-Miocic should have been stopped 10 minutes earlier. Or something. I'm not going to rewatch it to figure out when it should have been stopped.

in other words, I agree that "beatdown of the year" should be entertaining, not awful. It's really only an award-worthy beatdown if someone is hanging in there a bit and still getting poo poo beaten despite their best efforts.

That was Paige/Thugrose. Full credit to Paige for lasting as long as she did, but she managed zero effective offense in that fight.

I agree with beat down of the year being Namajunas/VanZant because just thinking about Hunt/Miocic makes me sad.
