I really could never see myself voting Ronda fighter of the year, enless she beats McMann, another girl & Cyborg all in a year. There just isn't enough talent. There are tough girls sure, but just skill she's 1993 Royce Gracie out there.

Fabricio Werdum didn't win FighterOTY after tapping Fedor.

That's because they only fought once and Werdum didn't dominate Fedor like Weidman was Anderson until the stoppages.

 

The Matt Serra of 2013.

Except, you know, Weidman showed he could dominate Anderson in both fights unlike Serra.

 

If Weidman is perceived to be the new GOAT

He isn't.

 

Weidman is Matt Serra.

Already been beat to death and clarified he's not.

 

Rousey dominates everyone they put in front of her.  She's the biggest positive news story of the UFC.  She's spearheading a new division that is catching on with more than just her fights.  The TUF women's fights, as flawed as they were, beat the TUF men's fights.  And unlike Weidman, she has personality

Rousey beat 2 women who shouldn't have even been in the cage with her.

 

Her beating the biggest positive news, spearheading the 135 women's division, the TUF female fights drawing more than the men's have nothing to do here and her having more personality than Weidman do nothing for her here since this isn't pro-wrestling.

 

no question marks about her wins.

You sure about that? Again, she beat 2 girls who shouldn't have been in the cage with her including 1 who was coming off an ugly KO loss.

 

I saw Silva fight Chael for 35 minutes and win about 3 minutes. Weidman is a paper champ.

Why are we even talking about Werdum as fighter of the year that year? It was his only fight! And I'm pretty sure a lot of websites and groups voted it submission of the year.

Edit- and give it up on Ronda/Cyborg. They are not the same weight. Not only are they not the same weight, Cyborg is barely able to fight at that weight and has missed weight numerous times. Two completely different sized women.

Fedor actually drops Werdum and scrambles on the ground with ground & pound before Werdum catches him in the triangle as opposed to Weidman who was beating Anderson on the feet and on the ground.

If you watch the fight, Fedor dosen't even connect when Werdum goes down. 

 

and gif. c'mon let's not do this Cyborg/Ronda argument again. Sure Werdum only had 1 fight, but it was a win over a guy who hadn't been beat well EVER.
