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.
I'm struggling to find the 2015 thread too, it seems to have vanished.

I know Fighter OTY was Conor McGregor and Best Major Show was UFC 189
