Post your nominations, OP will be updated regularly for the 2019 awards.

Digital Jedi has put together a fantastic Google Doc to help with the voting at the end of the year.

Digital Jedi posted:

I have been working on a project for this thread.

At the end of the year when we vote for each category everyone has a hard time between choosing what is available. Mainly cause so much poo poo happens it is hard remember every little thing.

I created a google sheet containing in category and every submission from this thread. I'm aiming to have videos (Full fights, full rounds, or highlights) of everything possible. I believe this will help so much at the end of the year that you can rewatch everything!

Here is the sheet. Comments are enabled. If anyone has any suggesting to improve it I am open to anything. Currently I have tabs for each category but I do plan on making one master tab with everything broken down.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a8ihHqq4WFd-tvw09zgtWoJczKO-qbQ2LPQPhO-WODc/edit?usp=sharing

Added this to "Comedy in MMA" since there's no "worst tattoo" category, I'd submit that pic to the PYF "Bad Tattoo" thread.

Honourable Mention Fight of the Year - UFC Vancouver - Chas Skelly vs Jordan Griffin. poo poo has somersaults and backpacks and no-gi ezekiel choke from guard attempts and poo poo. It's fun as gently caress and sloppy as all hell.

It's a holdover from the older thread which was made back when Kim Winslow was more prominent in the refereeing circle.

suggestion: let's make a category for best burn on an athlete by an mma person (fighter, media, exec, etc.)

this is inspired by angie hill burning greg hardy's fight

What's the difference between insult of the year and best social media presence?

wouldn't best presence just be like, cumulative, where as best insult is a singular thing said?

for added comedy we can add a 'fear the consequences' category for "failed attempts at trash talk/hyping up the crowd"
