The Hughes fight I'll give ya though. He dominated the legend Matt and that's the reason he has a case for fighter of the year.

debateable to BJ nuthuggers, maybe. It was a pretty one sided fight besides an eyepoke and uppercut.

Beating one WW, two MW fighters, and HW fighter who had 15min war,

CroCop on Wandy: "I don't like him, he's the only fighter, who I really dislike..."

"greatmuta: Silva by anything he wants."

But now that Crocop destroyed him it doesn't count because he was just a MW. Fucking hater.

GSP didn't beat the daylights out of BJ, but he definitely won the fight

Fighter of the Year = Crocop

BAM

By years end Barnett will have fought 7 times this year...He already has wins over Nog, Hunt, Alex, and Natsula. He has the possibility of beating NOg twice in 1 year.

When Fedor defeated Nog for a second time, he was considered God. BArnett has the chance to do it twice in 1 year.

I stared a thread about this yesterday.

Mirko has fought 4 times this year, only fighting 2 people in his weight class. Only 1 of them is in the top 10 (Barnett). Josh also went through a 15 mintue war with Nog earlier in the night.

Josh= Took out 3 top 10 HW's, along with Nastula (very dangerous HW), and a top 10 MW in Nakamura. He also has the chance to beat Nog for a second time in 1 year...7 total fights

Mirko=Beat 1 top 10 HW while having 4 total fights...Beat 2 at HW, one MW, and 1 WW...


There is no way I can justify giving Mirko the nod over Josh.

We're talking about the most impressive fighter of 2006...Not who do you like more, or who do you think would beat who.

Right on!

Lock this thread this discussion is over

Read my sig, and then read this:
IF JOSH BARNETT BEATS NOG HE IS FIGHTER OF THE YEAR!!!!!

yes he did tool matt hughes, but what fight were you watching where gsp "beat the daylight outta BJ Penn." ......bj owned gsp in the stand up and if he could have avoided those takedowns by gsp, then I think he would of won a split or unanimous decision. no doubt that gsp is fighter of the year though in my opinion.

Now that's some weird logic.

Barnett fighter of the year if he wins?

Nope but if he actually does win then he's clearly gets number 3 position.
