Who was the MMA Breakthrough Fighter of 2009?

This one also goes to Jose Aldo

There should be a function available where anyone who doesn't vote for Aldo just gets banned on the spot.

Some other guys had good years, but Aldo is the only one with any sort of case at fighter of the year, so breakthrough fighter is no contest.

If you took him out, I'd probably vote for Zaromskis.

LOL

Agreed. Though I think Hardy deserves a look.

Has to be Aldo, part of the reason I didn't give him fighter of the year was because I planned on giving him this.

The guy ran 4 wins this year, ending with the belt around his waist, its not hard to give it to him.

When a guy is a candidate for both fighter of the year and breakthrough fighter of the year, he has to win the latter.

Aldo, then Hardy.

Yeah Aldo, gets the nod, though a personal favourite made me vote Zaromskis his knockouts and aggressiveness make him a must watch everytime.

Also some pub should go to Mousasi. Though he's been around awhile, the dude has gone from relatively unknown into the discussion of top 10 p4p lists this year which is no small feat.
