Nelson for me should fight Mir next

DrPhil

Don't see that one going any differently than the last time.

djcla

id forgotten they had met previously tbh.

DrWise

Wow the smashes finale was quality I
Must say

Nah, big country and pat Barry swinging for each other would be a great fight. Big country needs a couple more high profile names to move him up the heavyweight rankings. I think he's worth a big profile fight to see what he's really made of

I thought is previous fight with Dos Santos did enough to get him up the rankings in the HW division, that fight was epic!

i think Pat Barry would be a step backwards for Roy to be honest and id rather see Barry get fed some fodder to build him backup.  I dont see anything other than a Nelson victory if those 2 met.

OK here are my end of year thoughts

Fight of the year = Hendo vs Shogun
Fighter of the Year = Rousey, the way she has brought media attension to Womens MMA like never before and got them in the UFC is amazing.
Saddest MMA moment of the year = Brock Lesner retiring

Fight of the year:   can't really pick one.  Rousey v Tate is a contender though.  Maybe Bendo v Nate.
KO of the year:   Barboza vs Etim.  Spinning hook kick.  Probably the most ridiculous KO of all time.
Sub of the year:  Struve vs Johnson.  The way he pulled guard to do it was pretty impressive.
Saddest moment:  BJ Penn getting humiliated by Rory McDonald.
Fighter of the year:  Stefan Struve.  Always delivers something worth talking about.
Scariest moment:  the suplex guy's fight last Saturday / Silva methodically taking apart Bonnar.
