MMA and Boxing Fights of the Year

[MikeyPatriot]

If I were going to pick a fight for upset value, it would be Serra/GSP. That's the only fight that still looks weird in hindsight.

I don't think Gomi running out of gas was that weird. It's pretty clear he took the fight lightly and probably had some jet lag.

Clinch and ground work =/= boring to me, especially when both fighters are active during both. This wasn't like Sylvia/Vera where Tim just leaned on Vera for over a third of the fight. It wasn't a crazy slugfest, but if you were hoping for that going in, you're nuts. I thought this fight was a very high level showing from two elite mixed martial artists.

Mods,

What's wrong with my links? They were fine when I previewed and I thought they were OK when I posted...why are they not formatted correctly now?
