The best of 2009

Its almost the end of 2009 and I think it is in order to post up some of the best fights of the year!

Fight of the Year: Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida
People talk about how dominating Diego was in the fight but the reason I gave this the fight of the year is because of Guida. He stayed alive even after a number of clean hits and even a devastating head kick by Sanchez. Their stare down was also one of the most intense ones I've ever seen.

Submission of the Year: Toby Imada vs. Jorge Masvidal
The first reverse triangle choke in the octagon, very impressive.

Knockout of the Year: Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping
There were a few knockouts I was thinking about putting up then I remembered Henderson's major KO over the bigmouth Brit. Good job Hendo! you shut his Brit mouth!

Fighter of the Year: Jose Aldo
This was an easy pick for me, with so many big fighters currently injured. Aldo got 4 fights this year. That is pretty much fight after fight without much rest. Whats impressive is he ended them all via TKO and even became the new Featherweight champion when he defeated the the killer Mike Brown.
"SAY UNCLE!"

Best Card of the Year: UFC 100
This was simply a stacked card. And when I say stacked, I mean it. GSP, one of the pound for pound best fighters in the world. Brock Lesnar, the pay per view attraction for any card. Henderson and Bisping finally face each other in the ring. How could this card not make it to fight card of the year??
Biggest Disappointment of the Year: Rampage
After the Jardine fight Rampage said "I WANT MY BELT BACK!!!" What happened to that? Now hes gone from the UFC. Hes saying hes coming back now but it obviously won't happen this year. Rampage vs. Rashad! If the fight doesn't end via KO or if they don't stand and bang with each other, the trash talk would have been useless!MMA Fail of the Year:
