Make your picks for the 2018’s Year-End MMA Awards

It’s back!

Over the next few days, Bloody Elbow is going to ask for your opinion on some of the best things that have happened in the MMA world over the course of 2018. There will be a total of eight different categories you’ll be asked to vote on. For the sake of simplicity we’re going to stick with high-level and relevant MMA stuff in these posts. While we’re sure there was a ludicrous knockout in an unscheduled MMA event at The Lumberyard strip club in Des Moines, or an insane pancreas lock submission on an obscure ZST! card in Japan, let’s just stick to stuff a lot of us have seen, okay? (If that spiel looked familiar, it’s because we’ve used the same one for eight years in a row. Originality? What originality?)

It’s pretty simple. We’ll post 5-10 options in a category, you vote for what you think was the best. If you think we left something really important off our list, post it in the comments and we can add it to the poll if it’s deemed worthy. We can almost guarantee you won’t like all our suggestions, but narrowing down these lists is tough.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s get onto the eighth and final poll – the best fight of the year. MMA fans were lucky to see so many great fights in 2017, and here are the ten we thought rose above the rest.
