Pancake Syrup - If Shogun-Hendo wasn't on there i'd say fight of the year was Lauzon-Varner

Come on dude, did you even see Chandler vs. Alvarez?

Hendo vs. Shogun was definitely higher profile but... I saw the Hendo/Shogun fight first and thought to myself... Fight of the Year, for sure.

Then I saw Chandler vs. Alvarez.... Wow, just wow.

Chandler vs. Alvarez has my vote.

I can see Ronda winning in every category (not saying she will but she had that kind of impact). Personality of the year nomination for Jon Anik? That's a joke it should be a lack of personality award. Jon Anik plain sucks as much as Gus Johnson. Phone Post

No i never saw the fight that's why i never mentioned it

Shannon Knapp 

Leading Man of the Year?

Call me biased but.... I like my ZombieCageFighter brand. It actually has a story behind it, not just a "hip" term for knocking someone out.
And I think MMA Uncensored should be there for Media Source. We get ten times the viewers of any other MMA show, we consistently have guests from leagues OTHER than the UFC, we can say what we want to about the UFC because we're not a half hour advertisement for them, we've had Cormier, Chael, Bonnar, Couture, Frank Shamrock, BJ Penn, Overeem, etc, etc, expressing their own opinions about things not just promoting. And we have the RZA on this week! I see us as more of an MMA "life show than just what fights are coming up.
Ok, go ahead and trash Carton now BUT he's really good at moving conversations along and asking things I would never ask. And not one of our guests have gotten pissed at him, even when Ronda was on, she played the game, and Carton, very well.
BUT... I didn't want to go to your stupid party for jerks anyways. :-P

Andre Pederneiras deserves coach of the year and Nova Unaio deserves gym of the year and it's not even close Phone Post

I would have also if it wasn`t for Leading MAN of the Year. :-)
