@KyockLee123 Anyone "could" beat anyone. Submittiing Chael Sonnen is not an impressive feat, considering that Chael has said he thinks BJJ is inherently homosexual and refuses to learn it.
gsp is my fav but he is no way the 09 fighter of the year. gsp was a pussy in 09 and hasnt had a ko in years. fedor deserves it simply because he killed rogers and arlovski with the same punch. plus gsp is afraid to fight anderson. fedor is not appreciated by the people but he will when he retires and people realise that he was the greatest ever in mma
Yes, Andrson Silva is overrated. Natural HW in MW division just funny. Silva is 189 cm fights with guy who 170-175 cm are. :))
Machida deserved less than Shogun Rua.
Lesnar is just for funny in here. They just joked. :)))
GSP and Fedor, but Fedor soon will retire and he was never best fighter of the year. And he still unbeaten fighter. I even don't know who didn't lose for 10 years a row. This is gretest record ever.
But he has never been fighter of the year, he deserved more than others in the world. OK, nobody will cry about it, but it is ridiculous the best fighter ever will never be the best fighter of the year.
UFC purchased this award to keep GSP as the company "good guy" face. GSP's greasing and ducking the Silva make GSP less impressive than Sliva, Penn, Aldo, Machida, or Shogun. GSP also won Canadian Athlete of the Year, UFC fighter of the Year, and MMAjunkie fighter of the year - all purchased awards by the UFC to make GSP what Liddell was - a white, marketable, mainstream pleaser - not best fighter, especially this year. Listen to Kenny's excuse - GSP because he fights in the UFC - lol.
Dude get over it BJ got destroyed period. He wasn't even close and he QUIT like a bitch. Silva was so inconsistent the whole year, Aldo still very unfamiliar, Machida shouldn't win because of his performance against Shogun and Shogun struggled against Coleman. Fedor only fought 1 time last year so I dont think you can give it to him. Penn can't get over the GSP hump. GSP has been the most consistent this year just admit it but BJ really looked impressive lately though and Brock is still unproven
Fedor fought twice, against Arlovski and Rogers. Btw Silva also fought twice and i think Lesnar also fought once or twice.. just saying. The award could have gone to any one of Fedor, GSP and Silva though and it would have been a fair choice because they were all dominant.
Bass is a smart guy but to pick Fedor based on his career record, hes just showing hes a fanboy.
Its fighter of the year of 2009. If you really thin Fedor looked good in his fights, you need to wake up. I know he won but he didnt look like or earn fighter of the year.
2 years later Safe Pierre still hasn't stopped an opponent. Didn't he say the next year would be better?

Wow, GSP won? Gay. Silva would beat him, if he wasn't to afraid to move up.

@KyockLee123 Based on his most recent fight, Silva would have it rough against Jon Fitch, never mind GSP.

@MrCreepy92 Well, considering he had broken ribs and still managed to FINISH the fight, that shows to me he could beat GSP.

Lesnar should not be in selection!
Anderson is very very overrated.
Machida did not desserved after Shougan fight.
Fedor is best fighter ever but not perfermed like a fighter of the year in 2009 (but some nice ko/tko from him)
GSP is the fighter of the year......agree
