I'd have to watch them all again, but I remember being really impressed by Aldo's KO over Mendes.

Cung's KO would be up there for me too.

Probably have to watch the Barboza-Etim fight again, since most people seem to be voting for that.

You'll be relieved to learn I also went with Barboza.

Where's Rogers-Vianna? That was a nominee in the World Zuffa Awards even.

Wow, yeah. There was also that guy who landed a left hook against Rogers (Rogers?) in Bellator.

That was Andreas Spang. It was a good knockout, but I'd give that strike more consideration for comeback of the year, and the match for fight of the year.

This one was great too, because Guillard was so dazed from the kick he basically left himself open for whatever Cerrone wanted to do and he didn't disappoint.

I think Sauna deserves a mention for the KO of Means.
