In the ballot I went in and edited "(Please include event name)" on some of the things. I like to know exact date/name of an event when I post the stuff. Last year I remember going a little nuts with the UFC FUEL/FOX not knowing the numbers. If you can include that kinda stuff with your votes it would be greatly appreciated.

Lister had not been submitted in 16 years and then he loses to a catch as catch can hold. Was it an upset that Josh won or that he submitted Dean? I mean I know Metamoris is sub only but there have been a lot of matches there that were considered "wins" even if it was a draw. After the fact a lot of people seemed sure that Barnett was almost guaranteed to dominate the match due to the weight difference.

After the fact a lot of people seemed sure that Barnett was almost guaranteed to dominate the match due to the weight difference. The submission (and it being an unorthodox submission at that). Barnett was controlling Lister from the start to the end, which isn't as impressive given the size advantage, but Lister has been grappling at top level BJJ for over a decade now and he only loses by points. This includes absolute weights and grappling with people far bigger than him so the most likely predicted outcome for the match was a draw, with Lister winning by submission second (especially as Barnett chose to wear wrestling shoes against a footlock specialist which a lot regarded as grappling suicide). No one thought Barnett, for all his grappling credentials, would submit Lister.

Was bored so I went through all the odds for UFC cards in 2014 and picked out the biggest underdogs who cashed out, from biggest to smallest: Johnny Eduardo +735 vs Eddie Wineland TJ Dillashaw +710 vs Renan Barao Thiago Santos +660 vs Ronny Markes Mike Wilkinson +650 vs Niklas Backstrom Zak Cummings +475 vs Yan Cabral Rafael Dos Anjos +440 vs Benson Henderson Chris Kelades +435 vs Patrick Holohan Leandro Issa +420 vs Yuta Sasaki Kiichi Kunimoto +400 vs Daniel Sarafian Drew Dober +400 vs Jamie Varner Mark Eddiva +390 vs Jumabieke Tuerxun Mitch Clarke +380 vs Al Iaquinta Andrei Arlovski +380 vs Antonio Silva Oleksiy Oliynyk +375 vs Jared Rosholt Roger Narvaez +375 vs Luke Barnatt Nikita Krylov +355 vs Walt Harris CB Dolloway +340 vs Cezar Ferreira Rick Story +325 vs Gunnar Nelson Ben Rothwell +300 vs Alistair Overeem Which was a nice reminder that lol Eddie Wineland got starched by some random Brazilian and Arlovski/Bigfoot and Overeem/Big Ben happened.

I don't care about best twitter or best interview or best division which is always, always going to be a toss up between like 3 divisions, but Most Memorable Foul makes my heart sing. Although I voted in every category, I agree with this. The nomination thread had categories for worst fight and funniest moment that would probably be a lot more interesting than Twitter or interview. Maybe interview if it wasn't post-fight only so you could encompass stuff like Jon Jones on ESPN or the unmasking of the Nsane1. Almost all post-fights are "I'd like to thank God, my coaches, and my sponsors."
