Tough call. I like Tybura and Newton. I guess Tybura based off dominance. Vasilevsky is good too but isn't there accusations that his win over Falcao being fixed?

Yuki Motoya!

That was basically my thoughts as well. I was going to go with Newton. But, the quality of Tybura's wins are better (I mean the fashions in which he won).

Very tough, considering Tybura, Newton, and Motoya all had fantastic years but Tybura's body of work is just slightly more impressive.

Motoya really would have ran away with it if Imanari and Maeda weren't on losing streaks at the time.

Newton had a great year. It might be that his quality of opposition was better. I'm not sure. Newton has been really impressive over the past couple years. But I went with Tybura. Yeah, it's a tough call. All 4 guys had a great year. But, we have to choose one. I went with Tybura, myself. And he seems to be in the lead in the voting.

Slava landed right on the chin. Not fixed! You can see by how Falcaos head moves at the impact that his brain is rattled.

It was a tough call but I voted Tybura.

Motoya. Because J-MMA.

Good to know. I read about that on Youtube comments so I'm not accusing it as it was someone I read.

Tybura has a decent lead so far.

Put in my vote for The Hardcore Kid!

For good reason. Won the M-1 Heavyweight Championship, went 3-0, had a major fight at M-1's China debut, bulldozed through Grabowski, and ended the undefeated streak of Denis Smoldarev.
