2012 has proven to be a very entertaining year for fight fans. A couple of champions emerged, flyweights entered the Octagon, Jon Jones is human after all, and the heavyweights took center stage for an entire PPV.
After all the fights a number of fighters have risen above the rest. These guys have fought through adversity and have overcome the difficult challenge of not only staying healthy in training but facing the dangers of their opponents as well.
These men have amazed fans with impressive finishes, winning streaks and even the resurrection of a career. No matter where they are placed, it’s clear they are MMA’s cream of the crop halfway into 2012.
