Seeing as so far I make up 50 percent of the ballot pool in the worst card category, I will state I went with cards that were pretty forgettable but in any less cool of a year probably wouldn't have even been considered for my top three.

I tried to fill out a ballot but realised when presented with 3 empty boxes that I have no idea because I haven't watched enough MMA. However, this is Mark Hunt's year, I can feel it.

I had more ideas for worst individual fight than I did for worst event and probably would have suggested that had I read the best of thread before the ballot was put up.

Also should have suggested a Cathal Pendred memorial award for the most hated fighter of the year.

When we make the Best of 2016 Thread, let's remember that as a category. It seems way easier to find examples of than Worst Event.

I was going to suggest narrowing worst event down to one spot and expanding the Yoel Romero category to three spots. Worst fight might be good though, It's way easier to remember those instead of bad cards.

Nate Diaz calling out Conor was in 2015. e: Just checked and it isn't bleeped out at all on Fight Pass. Wasn't sure if they would just take the feed after it'd been run through Fox. another edit: A cool thing I just noticed is that they actually did cut Rogan's mic, but Diaz gets picked up by the interview camera's ambient mic anyway. Once Rogan pulls his mic away from Diaz you hear it cut back on and it fills up the PA system again. eshock fucked around with this message at 10:24 on Jan 13, 2016 |

hollys was good. it was cool the way she set up the kick. but I personally favor precision/finality over flurries and accumulation. theres something about 1 punch knockout, the pure skill of it, that i prefer. conor koing aldo still feels like the most amazing thing ive seen in mma. i dunno its still pretty new but im really jaded now and it totally stunned me and i still feel stunned and really happy that conor is moving up to try and do a historic thing again

Dominant aggressive champion and brutal finisher expected to eat up older underdog in showcase fight on the other side of the world. It quickly becomes apparent that the crafty veteran presents a challenge to the younger fighter with a strategy that the champ hasn't yet faced. Younger fighter maintains aggressive forward motion, but despite moments of apparent success, is unable to put the older challenger away. Sudden moment of dramatic flair happens and the veteran's true brilliance shows as the champion begins to disintegrate. (Ali comes off the ropes; Holly plays matador) Pow - awesome, dramatic, and visually memorable KO (Foreman spinning, Rousey turning around into the kick). As a fight, Rousey-Holm had a story, and the KO was the perfect conclusion to that story. Conor's KO was a great statement and a wonderful 13-second hilight, but the fight itself didn't have any internal story - it was a non-fight.

I didn't say it was better than Ali-Foreman. I just said that it was MMA's closest approximation so far.

The narrative about Foreman-Ali that people would understand is someone rope-a-doping. And Nick Thompson did it to Eddie Alvarez, except more by being tall than having great defense and chin

Holm vs. Rousey was a better fight and thus the knock out was better and thats like the main thing I kind of have against the Conor KO.

Pat Berry v CHieck Kongo was a lot like Mike Tyson v Buster Douglas, because its two human beings engaged in prizefightings People were able to wager on both contests Some people who wagered won money Some people who wagered lost money A fighter lost at the end of the fight, and by losing, caused the other fighter to win
