This was popular last year, so I decided to do it again.

Should go with Fedor and his loss, but I'm going with UFC/WEC merger.

Fedor losing

Lol at Walker entering Strikeforce, who cares? Sonnen testing positive was a bigger story

UFC/WEC merger gets my vote...everyone knew that Fedor was going to lose eventually, it was just a matter of time.

:wink:

Really though, I was more interested in the UFC/WEC merger and the fallout from that. There's a lot more to talk about with that story, and it is has a much bigger impact on MMA.

The Merger. By a long shot.

Fedor losing isn't that big of a deal to me. If he had faced the level of competition similar to that of other top fighters, it very, very likely would have happened once or twice already.

Good point.

I mean, I can see the argument, since Fedor losing pretty much broke the internet, but for me, a big story should generate a ton of discussion and have a long term impact on the sport.

Fedor losing. I've never seen a bar full of people utterly speechless. I've never seen the non-MMA fans at a bar so confused as to why everyone looked so solemn. It's probably the defining moment of the year for me, period. Very weird night. I got even drunker than usual.
