Of those three I would say Alvarez/Kawajiri. I think Alvarez vs Hansen was fight of the year so far. It was more dynamic, had striking, submission, back and forth. Can't wait until the second time.

Well I will have to say Alvarez/Kawajiri but the rapge/griffin fight wasnt the best fight, i would have it ranked 3rd out of these fights. Then the shamrock/Le fight was kinda more of an entertain thing than a fight with all the glove touching and the pausing in between the fight. I mean it a fight come on, you dont stop to touch gloves in the middle of the round.

Alvarez / Kawajiri from your list. for the fight of the year, Alvarez / Hansesn is my choice. it was such a back and forth battle that saw the fight hit every scenario with a high pace and nail biting action.

Eddie Alvarez vs. Joachim Hansen is the Fight Of The Year so far.

Miguel Torres vs. Yoshiro Maeda has to be mentioned as well.

i still like torres vs. maeda but alvarez vs. kawajiri is right there. rampage griffin has to be up there because of the magnitude, I was at the edge of my seat the entire fight even if it wasn't as exciting as some fights this year, the magnitude made it as exciting or more exciting.

personally think Alvarez's entire DreamGP run was worthy... The kid puts on killer fights... Dida, Hansen, Kawajiri... Could you imagine if we got to see him fight Aoki!!!

Wtf. The real fight of the year was Maeda/Torres. In my view, it was much better than any of those other fights.
