HappyFeet Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I just watched Lauzon vs. Varner. That is definitely gonna be FOTY, and nobody's gonna beat that. It was an epic technical brawl on the feet, lots of damage done with the punches from both men, and the grappling is some of the best I've seen in a while. Exactly what I'd expect from the two fighters. It was sick, nobody's beating that. Glad even though Varner lost, he gets a piece of the spotlight, and didn't embarrass himself going down. As a matter of fact, Varner may have been winning up until round 3. Hard to say with a close round 2. Amazing fight though, that's definitely gonna go down in my favorite fights of all time.

I'm not sure if this beats Zombie vs Poriere ( don't know how to spell his damn name). Its def one of the two though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12еr Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 This is the FOTY +1....it was a good fight. I am an unrepentant Lauzon fan boy though, so I'll be happy if they rob it from em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEntity Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'd give Foty to Poirier vs Zombie. The Momentum was shifting back and forth alot more, also it was starting to look like Poirier might win the fight when Jung turned it up one last time.

Me_Against_The_World Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 The head runners for fight of the year are easily Poirier vs Zombie and Lauzon vs Varner but Henderson vs Diaz has a really good chance of taking it and with Bellator putting out fights like Curran vs Patricio, Falcao vs Shlemenko, Luis Nogueira vs Eduardo Dantas, I wouldn't be so sure yet. We have half the year to go, don't think anything has been so outstiding that it's a lock for KO, SUbmission or fight. PS: I didn't really enjoy Griffin vs Bonnar or Shogun vs Henderson.

King_Can Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 shogun vs henderson was better live because shogun came so close at the end to finishing hendo and it was a huge comeback + you didn't know who was going to take the decision rewatching it wasn't the same.

OzPride Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 No. Varner was gassed. Having one fighter gassed auto DQ's a fight from FOTY potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
