The Heavies Awards 2021
Event of the Year
2021 was an action packed year for mixed martial arts. There was a limited return to live crowds as Covid continued to be a problem. Plenty of title fights and grudge matches took place. And now its time to pick the best event of the year. One vote per person and voting will close in 5 days. As always, let us know why you voted for a particular event, and of course, let us know if there was an event you felt got overlooked.
UFC on ABC: Holloway vs. Kattar
This card marked a return to broadcast television for the UFC. The main event between Max Holloway and Calvin Kattar won FOTN while Li Jingliang won POTN for his KO victory over Santiago Ponzinibbio. Alessio Di Chirico also picked up a bonus for his head kick KO victory over Joaquin Buckley.
UFC 259: Blachowicz vs. Adesanya
UFC 261: Usman vs. Masvidal 2
UFC 261 took place in front of a live crowd in Jacksonville Florida and had another 3 belts on the line. WW champ Kamara Usman successfully defended his belt in a rematch against Jorge Masvidal when he landed a KO punch in the 2nd round picking up a POTN bonus in the process. Rose Namajunas defeated SW champ Zhang Weili via headkick KO in the 1st round winning the belt and collecting a POTN bonus for her efforts. Jeff Molina vs. Qileng Aori won FOTN. But most will remember this event for the horrific injury suffered by Chris Wiedman in his fight against Uriah Hall.
