Make the search function work decently. When I search a specific wrestler....I dont want the last 5 minutes of a match to show up. Make a complete listing of matches I can pick from for that specific wrestler, bios, round table discussions, pod casts, promos, etc.

I agree that Cody did not take advantage a few times, but he DOMINATED Cruz like NO ONE. Cruz was 22-1 before Cody. He had beaten the BEST of the Bantamweights. Cody also KOed Almeida who was 21-0 at the time. A TKO to Mizurgaki. He started the year unranked and finished as Champion. Not sure how you can have a more impressive year. Nunez was impressive. But she had 2 fights. And honestly, its not to take away from Nunez....but Rousey beat herself. She wasnt ready mentally and got destroyed. Would Nunez have beaten her if Ronda was ready? Maybe....maybe not. But Im not willing to put a lot of stock in her defeat of Rousey. Connor had an amazing year and because of who he is, he will get consideration. But as far as I am concerned, the loss to Diaz makes his year great..just not better than Cody's. I would be pretty surprised if Cody does not get fighter of the year. I totally get your points about Cody getting it but I'd bet the house on Conor getting it. And wouldn't you say your a bit biased seeing as Cody is your favorite fighter? I've seen you post about him several times. lol... Zero doubt that Cody is my favorite fighter. But I can call a spade a spade. Connor, because of who he is, will definitely be in consideration. WILL he get it? I dont know. I know who my vote, if I had one, would goto. I am not sure how UFC will see it. Connor, Cody, Nunez, Stipe, Demetrius Johnson...they are all going to be considered. But I cant honestly see where UFC will go with this right now.

Conor maybe... but Nunez hasnt had enough fights this year. Thats my opinion. The argument against Conor would be he also suffered a loss. Nunes had 3 fights this year though and 2-3 fights a year is about the average. And the way she just totally destroyed Tate to win the title and then destroyed Rousey was very impressive(!). I'd go with her or Stipe Miocic: TKO'd Andrei Arlovski in the 1st (in a title-eliminator), KO'd Fabricio Werdum in the 1st (to win the title), then KO'd Alistair Overeem in the 1st (in the FOTN). Not taking anything away from Cody though... he's definitely in contention (I'd probably put him above Conor). I think Stipe sounds like a more impressive resume. Nunez gets all the credit in the world for the fight against Tate. But the Rousey win means nada to me. We all could have beaten Ronda that night. Experts want to make excuses for her left and right about how she prepared or having a bad game plan. It was quite obvious her biggest issue....herself. She wasnt ready mentally. Seems Garbrandt also wants a piece of Aldo and McGregor...this could well and truly be the guys' year as a top name... I was already thinking about him moving up. But I think he needs to destroy the Batamweight division before moving up. Lets see how he handles Dillashaw, Rivera, Caraway and Sterling. Beat them in 2017-2018....then lets talk a move up. I think with Cody's power he can move up to Featherweight. Remember, he already fought at 140 in that catchweight fight in Pittsburgh when Lineker pulled out. Featherweight is a more dangerous division with Aldo, Holloway, Edgar, Swanson, Pettis, Stephens. In fact, I'd love to see a battle with Stephens.

Conor maybe...but Nunez hasnt had enough fights this year. Thats my opinion. The argument against Conor would be he also suffered a loss. I think Amanda Nunez made more of an impact though. She brutally knocked out the two previous faces of the women's division. Cody defiantly had more of a busy year but he failed to finish Cruz and he a few chances to where his ego prevented him from it I think. He wanted the red to stop it when he dropped him a couple times but he should have swarmed him and took him out. I agree that Cody did not take advantage a few times, but he DOMINATED Cruz like NO ONE. Cruz was 22-1 before Cody. He had beaten the BEST of the Bantamweights. Cody also KOed Almeida who was 21-0 at the time. A TKO to Mizurgaki. He started the year unranked and finished as Champion. Not sure how you can have a more impressive year. Nunez was impressive.

BTW...I think tonight solidified Cody's nod for fighter of the year. I personally believe that either Conor for winning the second belt or Amanda Nunez for brutally KOing Meisha and Rhonda in the same year would be fighter of the year. But Cody did have a standout year as well. Looking forward to seeing what he does next. I think a fight between him and Dillashaw would be better than his fight with Cruz. Conor maybe...but Nunez hasnt had enough fights this year. Thats my opinion. The argument against Conor would be he also suffered a loss.

Very happy for Cody. I thought he was something special, but I didn't know if he'd be able to fully handle the style Cruz has. I'm sure this isn't the last time we'll see those 2 match up either. I'm in awe of Rondas sudden crash landing back to earth. We've seen dominant stars on the wrong end of a beating suddenly, or watched their aura slowly start to diminish over the course of a few rough fights. But with Ronda, she's smashed violently into a brick wall suddenly. Her losses haven't looked like simple unfortunate setbacks, or that her opposition is the next big thing either. She's simply looked like an incomplete rookie in these beatings. I really do hope she immediately moves on from the sport if even a single bit of her isn't interested in fighting. Move on to Hollywood, consider wrestling, start a family, whatever. If those reports of her depression after the 1st loss are true, then I'd hate to see this girl keep doing this to herself out of pride. Cruz never really fought his style. He did try a few take downs and Cody prevented them and was able to quickly get away. I preached that Cody's speed is VERY deceptive and he showed just how much speed he had in there by avoiding Cruz. I think Cruz failed to play his game and instead attempted to stand with Cody. That, I was very shocked by. Cruz has no power these days. His best chance to win was to continue to stay patient and play to his strong suit and Cody's weakest part of his game. Get him down to the mat and lock in a submission, out grapple Cody. My favorite moment of the night.

Tons of these will be found sitting on the shelves with the masks stolen. How they would get into the package without anyone noticing or getting cut I will never know. It would be cool if someone on shapeways made a mask to fit figures if people didn't want to spend the 50$ and instead wanted to fit their old shield figures. (Trimmed the pic out to save space) People at Walmart could care less. You can buy it, take the masks and return it. I see stuff missing all the time or have head swaps, etc. I would hope that Walmart wasnt so crappy that people had all this time in the store to make swaps or steal accessories.

The idea is awesome. Then I see the figures and they are freaking AWFUL! Perhaps its just the poor pic quality...but Sting looks like a custom made by 10 year old for their first time out. That head is ginormous and thats using that new larger chest mold. WTF?!?!!?

I'll admit I doubted No Love and boy did he prove why I never will again. Such a well deserved win. And that main event, I knew Nunes would win, but I didn't think it would be a lopsided 48 second victory. Hell of a memorable last show for Goldberg to leave to. My favorite fight this year was Wonderboy and Tyron. Can't wait for that rematch in 2017. Also very much looking forward to a Dillashaw/No Love fight for the title. 2017 is gonna be fun Wonderboy/Tyron...great. Connor/Diaz was great as well.

Just to one. My buddy was all over Ronda for this fight. Up until this week....so was I. But her body language and behavior was so uncharacteristic of the confident killer than Rondy used to be. She is completely broken akin to Tiger Woods following his "sex addict" incident with his wife. I've sung the praises of Cody Garbrandt for so damn long....tonight was nothing more than sweet personal vindication for myself. It was great to hear the Vegas crowd chanting for Cody and the bar I was at....place was going nuts for Cody. That fight was the only one that got people jumping up and down, high fiving and cheering. I figured most people wouldnt even know who Cody was tonight. Now the WORLD knows. Good man. Watching the post-fight presser now...Cody's up to bat right now. Cruz did his part standing up with sunnies on...I enjoyed that... The Dillashaw fight is a LONG time coming. Cody hates TJ for what the lying and deception, not to mention how he turned his back on Urijah who made him.
