The list is very brawl-centric (and something else-centric :))

I'd go with Pat Curran vs. Daniel Straus 2. That fight had everything I love in an MMA match: length, a mixture of active but technical stand-up and ground, sudden changes of momentum, and ultimately a late finish.

In fact nearly all my favorite fights this year were not on the list. You got that one, Lawler-Brown, and Pitbull-Curran 2. Romero-Kennedy and Lauzon-Chiesa were also very good.

Might have to rewatch these before voting, but nothing is jumping out at me as in years past.

I think Aldo/Mendes deserves a mention.

That would be my vote for Fight of The Year. Either that or Silva vs. Brown.
