Haven't even finished all the awards yet, but what a joke Outstanding Fighter is. I'd vote 6-10 higher then any of the Top 3. I mean jeez, Hendricks had a close fight with Condit and lost a highly debatable decision to GSP. How is that #3? EDIT: Also, why is Joe Silva ranked but Sean Shelby not? They each book half the UFC how does only one get credit. Rabble, I'm bothered I have no problem with Velasquez winning that although I think Mightymouse and Faber deserve it more. I do think Most Valuble Fighter should have been either Faber, Mightymouse, or Jones. Fight of The Year I would have given to Jones/Gustafsson. Chael Sonnen getting votes in Promos and Charismatic is pretty awesome for me as a Sonnen fan. Box Office Draw should honestly have gone to Daniel Bryan.

Box Office Draw should honestly have gone to Daniel Bryan. 1: Velasquez got two wins over Junior Dos Santos in the voting period. TWO. If that's not Outstanding Fighter of the Year material, I don't know what is. 2: St-Pierre is completely deserving, mainly due to the fact he was UFC's biggest draw by far. 3: There's no proof of Daniel Bryan ever being a major draw in the WWE. Sure he's over, but he's not the draw that Cena, The Rock, Lesnar and even Batista are. Sure he's over, but he doesn't move ratings. The casual fan doesn't get him.

I might be reading between the lines here, but it seems I'm being advised to avoid watching TNA and Divas and to start looking into Japanese wrestling.

On the real though, Tanahashi is a beast.

Box Office Draw should honestly have gone to Daniel Bryan. Box office draw shouldn't even be an award. It's not up for debate. There is irrefutable numbers that tell you who that person is. Steveweiser can back me up on this : this has been a point of debate at F4W since the awards were announced. The guy who actually drew the most money was GSP. Followed by Rock. Then Cena. Silva would have snared it it though had the Weidman rematch been counted.

Bryan even called Dave out on that this week.

If that's not Outstanding Fighter of the Year material, I don't know what is. Ya, I was looking at it from a calender year perspective, not the Dec 1-Nov 30 or whatever it is WO uses. When you factor in the first JDS fight (and remove Silva/Weidman 2 from the equation) Cain being 1 makes ALOT more sense I stand by my disappointment in the lack of love for Sean Shelby tho
