The fact that McGregor vs. Diaz I isn't on the list shows how good 2016 was in MMA.  That is my fight of the year, but I fully understand why most of these fights (Bisping vs. Silva, really?) made it and that one didn't.  Condit vs. Lawler is my vote, with an asterisk.

Lawler/Condit. one of the best fights of all time. both men collapsing on the top of the cage, right next to each other, after the final round, puts this over the top for me. such an awesome, awesome fight. 

#2 is Reyes/Kim. kicked off my event of the year (ufc 199) and was totally unexpected but amazing. 

#3 is Swanson/Choi. holy shit, how can a fight this sensational be third?!? what a year of fights. some definite classics.

Have to disagree with 2013's Fight of the Year. Great year of fights, the best of the lot: Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165. A classic.

Oh, if you're looking from an importance standpoint and how it changed the narrative a bit about Jon Jones being this mighty destroyer, then that's the Fight of the Year. However, I'm only one vote. :)
