    Stolen from http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2009/12/17/5-oz-2009-mma-awards/

    I thought it might be fun to get everyone's opinions on who should win the following awards (and I've thrown in my picks for each to get it started):


    Breakthrough Fighter of the Year: Jon Jones

    Female Fighter of the Year: Aisling Daly (*resist urge to say Gina Carano)

    Trash Talker of the Year: Frank Mir

    Upset of the Year: Lyoto Defeats Rashad Evans (We probably expected Lyoto to take the title but we didn't expect rashad to get KTFO)

    Knockout of the Year: Silva KO Forrest Griffin. Fedor vs Rodgers too.


    Comeback Fighter of the Year: Vitor Belfort

    Submission of the Year: Demian Maia Vs Chael Sonnen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aF45qlN9Po

    Worst Fight of the Year: Mostly watch fights online so if it's not a good fight I skip to the result

    Beatdown of the Year: Penn destroying Sanchez last weekend

    Most Exciting Fighter of the Year: Anderson Silva

    Fight of the Year & Fighter of the Year:
    Fight: Couture Vs Nog
