PM me your votes for all of the categories below. These are just some fights that have been mentioned throughout the year. Fights/events/news from December 28, 2011 – December 30, 2012 are eligible. If you have something in mind that isn't listed then when you PM me, list your choice under the respective category. I will be collecting all the award nominations until January 20. Once this date has passed, I will create a thread for each category with a poll for you to vote on...the top nominees that have received the most nominations will be up for the final vote. Basically this will run similar to what jjeans did for the PG awards.

There was a typo for Event OTY, I had UFC on Fox 6 instead of Fox 5. It's been fixed

Poll threads are now open. A couple categories had an overwhelming favourite so they win by default but the rest were very close. I will close them in about a week from now and then make an official thread with the winners
