T*U Fighter of the Year

FIGHTER OF THE YEAR (Category 1 of 9)
It's simple, who do you think tore it up better than anyone else this year? We're not gonna tell you how to vote. Give our FOTY your own definition, just make sure you're pickin' who you think was truly the gnarliest man to walk the MMA globe this year. We've included fighters that have gold and those that might not be a champ but smoked whoever was put in front of them in badass fashion.

	Gesias Calvancanti HERO's Won his second consecutive HERO’S 154 lbs tourney with an unreal win over Shaolin Riberio which lasted all of 35 tics. // Phan W / Riberio W / Dida W //
	Randy Couture UFC Came out of retirement to punk Tim Sylvia for the title and then dropped Gabe Gonzaga on his head in a classic old school beatdown. // Sylvia W / Gonzaga W //
	Urijah Faber WEC Keeps putting on clinics against guys his haters keep telling us will finally test ‘em. No one’s come close to his WEC gold… no one! // Pearson W / Cruz W / Farrar W //
	Rampage Jackson UFC Rocked the previously untouchable Chuck Liddell only to go on an edge-out Hendo in a full-out war. Lots had him as the dawg in both fights. // Eastman W / Liddell W / Henderson W //
	Dong Hyun Kim DEEP Absolutely rapped DEEP champ Hasegawa in a non-title bout, only to get ripped off by the judges when the belt was up for grabs. // Ando W / Koike W / Maejima W / Hasegawa W / Hasegawa D //
	Robbie Lawler EliteXC/ICON Sport Pumped Twinkle Toes full of lead to get his ICON gold back and then put Ninja to sleep to take Rua’s EliteXC 185 lbs belt. // Pamplona W / Trigg W / Ninja W //
	Matt Serra UFC Went through an off-the-record war on TUF, only to dump Lytle in the final and upset one of the best on the planet his own mother mighta not even had him winning. // Lytle W / GSP W //
	Anderson Silva UFC No one dominated their weight class with such precision and badass finishes as The Spider did all year long. Who can beat this dude? A recent poll we ran had either Hendo or a gun toppling Anderson in '08. We don't even think we'd wanna be in the cage with this dude with a rifle in our mitts. Good luck Danny. // Lutter W / Marquardt W / Franklin W //
	Akitoshi Tamura Shooto Shooto’s new golden boy took the title early in ’07 and dominated the best Shooto had to offer with two more marathon wins against class guys. // Nishiura W / Fujimiya W / Inoue W //
	Yoshiyuki Yoshida Cage Force He’s the most vicious striker in all of Japan, ownin’ a killer instinct you usually only see in the wild. His tourney win over Kikuchi shocked the world and even though his win over Hardy lacked the fireworks most were hoping for, dudes the cat's meow in Cage Force. // Hashimoto W/ Inoue W/ Cain W/ Kikuchi W / Hardy W//
