Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Last, but certainly not least, we conclude the highly unofficial 2008 UFC awards with a celebration of the top ten fighters of the past year. This one was another close race, but by the time December 31st made way to January 1st, the choice was clear.
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - On January 17th, former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin gets an opportunity to stamp himself as a legitimate 205-pound contender when he takes on Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 93 in Dublin. A win for Franklin will not only be his third in a row, but it will show that “Ace” is truly back after his two losses to Anderson Silva. But before Franklin and Henderson square off in the Octagon, we’ll look at this updated list of the Cincinnati native’s seven defining moments.
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - No explanation necessary for this one – this is a collection of the fights that got you up off your seat and cheering from beginning to end. And whether these fights were displays of high-level grappling, toe-to-toe standup battling, or a mix of both, they’re certainly ten for the 2009 time capsule.

Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Everybody loves a good knockout – everybody. And for those aficionados of the sudden finish, 2009 was a better year than most. It was tough to narrow all of the UFC’s great knockouts this year down to a list of just ten, but hey, who wants to read a 3,000 word epic on the 30 best KOs of the year?
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - Whether applied with the finality of a knockout punch, with speed and technical acumen, or as a last-ditch fight saving maneuver, a submission move is one of the most versatile weapons in mixed martial arts today. Just ask the fighters who landed on the list below of the top submissions of 2008.
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - The beauty of sports is that there is a never-ending pool of talent that always replenishes each particular game, whether it’s football, baseball, basketball, or mixed martial arts. 2008 saw a talented group of newcomers make their way to the Octagon, and frankly, it was tough to narrow the field down to just ten standouts.
In the Interim Heavyweight title fight between the two coaches of the recent The Ultimate Fighter 8 TV series, Frank Mir upset the odds by pulling off the best performance of his career to beat Antonio Rodrigo ‘Minotauro’ Nogueira.
Thomas Gerbasi, UFC - When it comes to upsets, 2008 was a slow year compared to 2007, but there were still enough surprises – some in the biggest fights of the year (and one at the end of the year) - to fill our list here and kick off this year’s unofficial award season.
