Might as well nominate Hector Lombard for an eggregious late strike KO/DQ vs CB Dolloway at UFC 222 as the Foul of the Year

because it created great results, not because it was the most eggregious, namely an unconscious CB dolloway, a DQed and crying Hector Lombard, and this picture:



Like, that's a loving quality foul.
