Another year is in the books, and the world of MMA has never been bigger.
2012 was filled with highs and lows. The UFC and its brand dominated but went through perhaps the most unfortunate streak of injuries in the history of the company. From Georges St-Pierre to Jon Jones, Dominick Cruz to Jose Aldo, it just didn’t seem like fans or the UFC itself could catch a break.
It wasn’t all that bad, though. The good far outweighed the bad as 2012 will go down as one of the most memorable years the sport of MMA has ever seen.
As we begin 2013, I thought it’d be fun to look back on the year that was. These are the 12 moments that I believe defined MMA in 2012.
