Ok guys it's that time again. Nobody objected to any posts I made in the Best of 2015 thread so it's time to start voting for the best (and worst) stuff in MMA for 2015! Voting runs from Jan 10 - Jan 31 at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Please, please, please,  DO NOT POST YOUR BALLOT IN THIS THREAD Most awards have the option to give a first, second, and third place vote. You do not have to give all three, but the option is there if you want to. Five points will be awarded for a first place vote; three for a second, and two for a third. If you do something wacky, like: Best Fighter 1.) Tito Ortiz, of course 2.) 3.) The Undertaker - the best pure striker in the WWE. Then in this case Tito would get 5 points, and Undertaker would be bumped up to 2nd and get 3 points. This year I've decided to use Google Forms for the voting process, in hopes it makes things easier and gives you all more incentive to vote!!! The Topics you will be voting on: 01.) Fighter of the Year (3 Votes) 02.) Mark Coleman Emeritus Award: PSP's Favorite Fighter (3 Votes) 03.) Fight of the Year (3 Votes) 04.) Performance of the Year (3 Votes) 05.) Knockout of the Year (3 Votes) 06.) Submission of the Year (3 Votes) 07.) Best Major Show (3 Votes) 08.) Worst Major Show (3 Votes) 09.) Round of the Year (3 Votes) 10.) Breakout Fighter of the Year (3 Votes) 11.) Most Improved (3 Votes) 12.) Upset of the Year (3 Votes) 13.) The Gilbert Yvel Award for Foul of the Year (3 Votes) 14.) The Cecil Peoples Award for Judging Incompetence (1 Vote) 15.) Best Division (1 Vote) 16.) The Joe Silva Brainfart Award - Worst Booking Decision (1 Vote) 17.) Dumbest Career Move (1 Vote) 18.) The Big Dan/Lil Kim Award for Refereeing Incompetence (1 Vote) 19.) Best Post-Fight Interview (1 Vote) 20.) Most Overhyped/Underperformed (1 Vote) 21.) The Yoel Romero's Poop Stained Shorts Award for Comedy in MMA (1 Vote) If you are stumped on a topic, I encourage you to check out the 2015 Best & Worst of MMA Thread. Your Username will be the only thing required when filling in your ballot. CLICK HERE TO VOTE HulkaMatt fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Jan 10, 2016 |

You know it's a good year when there were no events nominated for worst card of the year, and your picks are all for cards that were "meh" instead of outright bad.

HulkaMatt posted:glancing at the summary it looks like only 1 person actually voted in the worst show category out of 14 ballots There are so many shows now it's getting kind of ridiculous to keep track of. There are a lot of equally bad trash cards now which makes it hard to pick a few out. Also I imagine a lot of people skip those cards and have no idea how bad they were.

also please dont vote for stipe miocic v mark hunt for worst booking, it was fine booking it was everything that happened during the match (and hunt's training camp) that made it look bad edit: ON THE OTHER HAND we have Anderson Silva v Nick Diaz or Jon Jones v Daniel Cormier who were both allowed to fight with positive drug tests. Especially Jones considering he was champion at the time and the result is still not an NC even though they have a positive test edit: going through the last year there are two front runners for underperforming and both really hurt me - Lyoto Machida and Fabio Maldonaldo. In Machida's case he was against good fighters but in both cases looked horrifically beaten down by them and that his time is over. In Fabio's case he lost twice and both fights were dull as gently caress and not at all like the old Fabio fights making it really... sad. theres a third possibility of Cain Velasquez but then again "sea level Cain" is a hilarious thing Lid fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Jan 11, 2016 |

Is Foul of the Year strictly for fouls within a fight, or do failed drug tests, missing weight, etc also count?

there were so many loving shows this year that it's hard to remember everything, but this helps http://www.worldmmaawards.com/vote.php (and the best of the year thread too ofc)

I treat memorability as a selection criteria. If I don't remember it when I'm voting, I tell myself that maybe it didn't deserve to win. e. I just realized that I voted for something from 2016 for sub of the year.

I voted in the Worst Event category, but I had a hard time thinking of a card that was truly terrible this year. There was nothing on the level of that terrible Faber/Barao card from a few years ago, at least.

let us begin:
so by no means am i saying you should think all these were bad cards, but surely from that last it must not be too difficult to pick out three events that you thought were less than good

I believe it was the year of the unsustainable main event that I noticed that Shelby and Silva had gotten really good at matching up unimportant and important fighters alike in a compelling and fun-inducing way and that in no way let up in 2015 despite that enormous post. We are voting for what event was most dog poo poo and I can't really bring myself to pick one out of 20 that was only 'pretty good'

Plus there's Bellator and WSOF and then who gives a gently caress about that too. They put on some really bad cards. Like, there was this pile of dogshit in both booking and execution: http://www.sherdog.com/events/WSOF-26-Palmer-vs-Almeida-48467 But who cares?
