No media member had it any worse than 49-46 for Strickland. UFC 271 - Robert Alexander scoring fights for Roxanne Modafferi (over Casey O'Neill) and Jared Vanderaa (over Andrei Arlovski) Worst Coaching Gameplan of the Year Bellator 277 - AJ McKee's father, former pro fighter Antonio McKee tells his son he's up all 4 rounds going into the 5th of an extremely close fight UFC 274 - Pat Barry telling Rose Namajunas to keep doing what she's doing, which was nothing Bellator 282 - telling your fighter who clearly won the first round to do something high risk in round 2, because, apparently "gently caress it"; Jeffery vs Aguiar UFC 281 - Carla Esparza's corner claiming Zhang Weili couldn't grapple with Cookie Monster, who gave up crucifix position and got tapped out ONE on Amazon Prime 5 - Reinier de Ridder literally having no other plan than half-assed takedown attempts against the hard punching strong wrestler, Anatoly Malykhin Worst Booking Decision of the Year UFC 278 - Re-booking Maverick vs Young 7 days after Shanna got Covid, then immediately needing to hospitalize her All of Rizin's champions going up against and losing to top Bellator guys, setting a very clear pecking order Worst MMA Hype Eagle FC 47 - the entire company decides to hype the return of Thiago Silva by talking nonspecifically about how strong his 'personal struggles' have made him and having Kamaru Usman talk about what a family man he is Dumbest Career Move UFC 270 - Ciryl Gane, up on two out of three judging scorecards in the final round of a heavyweight championship fight and finally in top position after getting wrestled to death for half the fight, rolls for a heel hook and loses everything UFC Fight Night 205 - Dean Barry manages to lose to the second-worst fighter ever signed to the UFC because he can't stop fouling him Khamzat Chimaev - a lay-up fight away from being handed the title on a silver platter - starts a near riot while not named Connor McGregor and missed weight by eight pounds leading Dana White to muse publically that maybe Belal deserves a title shot more. James Krause so blatantly leaking insider information about his fighters that he ended his gambling/coaching career, got at least one of his fighter's cut, put the future of sports betting into question, put a PPV into jeopardy, and forced a number of fighters to choose between losing a paycheque or taking a giant risk with a last minute camp change. Nobuyuki Sakakibara agreeing to a best vs best event and going 0-5 Others Most Overhyped and Underperformed Rose "Im the best" Namajunas Best Trash Talk of the Year UFC 281 - Renato Moicano's bleeped out rant Best Comedic Moment of the Year Shooto 2022 Opening Round - Yasuyuki Nojiri runs and jumps face first into a punch from Rinya Nakamura UFC Fight Night 205 - Mike Jackson (of the CM Punk fight) beats Dean Barry by DQ UFC Fight Night 206 - Ketlen Vieira's corner yelling,"DID YOU COME HERE TO DO SOME TOURISM!?!" at her going into the final round of her main event fight with Holly Holm at UFC Fight NIght 206 was incredible UFC 279 - Weigh-ins turn into a disaster, with Hakeem Dawodu missing weight, Chris Barnett coming in at 267.5, the heaviest anyone has ever weighed in UFC history, and Khamzat Chimaev tipping the scales at 178.5 Super Rizin - Putting SATAN on the portion of the Floyd Mayweather VTR when he was beating up Tenshin https://twitter.com/Grabaka_Hitman/status/1573878692845178881 James Krause so blatantly leaking insider information about his fighters that he ended his gambling/coaching career, got at least one of his fighter's cut, put the future of sports betting into question, put a PPV into jeopardy, and forced a number of fighters to choose between losing a paycheque or taking a giant risk with a last minute camp change. Greatest Schadenfreude of the Year Giga Chikadze saying he deserves a title shot vs Volkanovski after he beats Kattar, instead of Korean Zombie. Proceeds to get butchered on the feet by Kattar Kamaru spending the run-up to 278 pontificating about his plans to jump TWO DIVISIONS to become double champ in the most difficult way possible, only to get knocked out cold in the final minutes of the match he was running away with. Rose Namajunas "I'm the best" then performs so abysmally that she probably won't get a chance to win her title back from someone she already beat twice. UFC 279 - Khamzat Chimaev loving up his first main event, an absolute layup against Nate Diaz, by missing weight, getting bumped down the card and a new, better opponent.

Submission of the Year - Said Nurmagomedov snags a high-wrist guillotine on Cody Stamann at UFC 270 https://thumbs.gfycat.com/PleasantOrderlyAfghanhound-mobile.mp4 It was especially sweet because another guy who called himself something like "the guillotine master" went like 0-12 on guillotines earlier in the night and lost a decision.

I know it's early days, but UFC 270 was a cool loving PPV and I'm nominating it for Best Show of the Year, cool card with some great matches from the prelims up to the great co-main and the extremely fun and hilarious main event. Especially because it included: Fentry posted:Fight of the Year: Brandon Moreno vs Deiveson Figueiredo 3, UFC 270

Brut posted:What do you mean he was up on two scorecards? Ngannou won a unanimous decision by scores of 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47, which means 2/3 judges had the fight tied going into the final round, and up to that point in said round Gane had landed multiple combinations and taken Ngannou down in comparison to Ngannou's nothing, so it can be safely assumed that he was ahead in round five and had he either maintained top control, returned to the feet or basically done anything except let Ngannou get back on top of him, would have won a split decision.
