Upset of the Year UFC 258 Anthony Hernandez def. Rodolfo Vieira Submission (guillotine choke) Note that Hernandez is a random dude who has a purple belt and Vieira was an undefeated MMA fighter and former ADCC champion. This result was a -3000 line!

Worst Ref Mistake - Mark Smith letting Medic pummel Cruz for like 3 extra minutes while Cruz simply crawled around on all fours. UFC 259 e: Added R1 of Nzechukwu vs Ulberg as round of the year, and the fight itself as Best Comeback Probably an early contender for Honorable Mention Fight of the Year due to it just being a crazy rear end brawl LobsterMobster fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Mar 7, 2021 |

Worst Refereeing Mistake of the Year - Mark Smith (I think?) taking like 5 minutes to figure out that Aljamain Sterling lying on his back not knowing who he was and unable to get up after eating a deliberate foul knee to the face from Petr Yan meant he should call the match to an end. UFC 259. Worst Coaching Gameplan of the Year - Petr Yan's corner screaming,"YES! KICK HIM!" when Aljamain Sterling was down and such a move would be illegal and cost him the belt. UFC 259. Dumbest Career Move - Petr Yan deliberately fouling Aljamain Sterling with a knee to the face and costing himself his Bantamweight Title by a DQ loss in a fight he was absolutely winning. UFC 259.
