A few weeks back, the Bleacher Report MMA team brought you the 2015 MMA Awards and named the best fighter, fight, finishes and moment of the year. With the year officially, 100 percent closed out, we now bring you one final roundup for the year that was.
Welcome to the Bleacher Report MMA Awards Part 2. Here, we will look a bit deeper into the year and bring you five new categories, including:
- Comeback of the Year, which picks out the single wildest turnaround during a fight.
- Comeback Fighter of the Year, which names a fighter who turned a corner following serious adversity.
- Breakout Star of the Year, which pinpoints the fighter who built the most value for his brand.
- Breakthrough Fighter of the Year, picking out the fighter who either improved his in-ring work the most or did the best job of establishing himself as an elite talent.
- Feel-Good Moment of the Year, which is exactly what it sounds like.
- Quote of the Year—the quote that had the most impact on the sport or reached fans in a new, interesting way.
