Would using google forms work for 1/2/3 voting system that's in place now? I could probably check it myself but I'm just gonna ask because I'm going to sleep.

I've never actually built one so I don't know how easily you could make a google spreadsheet parse the math for you, but you could definitely make a First, Second and Third field for us to write in and do the math manually. And honestly it may be able to do the math for you anyway. I'd ask Lone Goat for details if he doesn't mind chatting about it, he built the form for the Goonweight picks and it can do stuff similar to that, so with some tweaking it might be able to virtually automate everything on your end.

i voted for rumble for most improved fighter and while i can agree with 1st being dillashaw, neil magny at 2nd is a joke, as is him being 3rd in fighter of the year. he's looked like crap in every one of his fights and has squeaked through with close decisions against even worse opponents, but people get too hung up on the numbers and advanced stats or whatever. he beat 5 guys in a year big deal, i'm sure there's guys in the local shows beating 20 guys a year who are probably as bad as most of magny's opponents. also breakout fighter of the year should have been mcgregor, i love tj but all everybody has talked about the past 2 years has been conor. discuss, if you must

Neil Magny might be a joke, but he's our joke.

That's actually a big loving deal. He went from being a mediocre fighter on a joke TUF season to stringing together a lot of wins... and get this... looking better each time. Rousey's KO being number 3 is the worst result on there imo. Also Middleweight is better than featherweight at the moment and that's not even on the list.

Also the breakout fighter of the year is usually reserved for people putting on great performances against tough competition, not for people putting on great performances against hand selected poor competition.

I actually became more impressed with that KO this weekend because after seeing it replayed a billion times I noticed the whole floor of the octagon shakes from that loving judo toss.

lol how is this fighter of the year standard? he beat 5 lovely fighters, big deal, you can find guys doing that on local shows all the time, nowadays most of ufc's roster is local show level guys anyway. also he was utter poo poo on tuf and is now average which is a pretty big leap in quality but will still get his poo poo pushed in by the first good fighter he faces but drat look at all those numbers, fighter of the year for sure. i voted 1) lawler 2) cerrone 3) tj btw. hate neil magny. i bet the cortxbomb guy could beat him up big time.

e: i voted MW as the best division, please nobody hold it against me

You're down playing a massive achievement and while people like to joke about how the level of fighters is decreasing as the UFC has expanded, comparing the fighters Magny fought to guys on local circuits is really dumb. I watch tons of bad MMA from Oplot to Tachi Palace fights and you're flat out lying.

Same. if you think Ronda going from exclusive grappler to getting a 16-second ko with a slick combo in two fights isn't a top three ko then what the hell man

It's actually a travesty Werdum's flying knee ko over Hunt didn't rank. I realize Hunt is the goon favorite but that was awesome.

I voted for Neil Magny in several categories but excluded Ronda since I prefer flashy KOs with spinning poo poo and flying knees.
