I have much love for Geovanni and Richie and Barncat is a wrecking ball in every contest he enters. Kyra is super inspirational and a fantasic role model for younger fighters. It's too tough to pick for me so I have to sit on the fence and watch how this plays out.
1 Kelvin Gastelum 1st to the UFC youngest in TUF history won every fight as the clear underdog remains undefeated. Even to get on the show he had to beat Alpha male's #1 pick.
2 John Botello founder of the oldest moon still reppin strong and leading his troops.
1 Yuma, contracts with UFC and Bellator this year. Gold medal performances in SD, LA, Vegas and Phoenix dispite being in a very small market. Currently has youngest purple in the organization. ( I think)
2 Phoenix, many high level performances this year leading by example.
I think Barncat should own this. not only does he wreck the comp scene he also is very active on the forum. The dude drops knowlege regularly. I haven't ever seen some of the nominees mentioned on the forum before. I think that should be a major factor.
I vote Kurzy for Warrior of the Year!
Ill nominate Louis Ho. Crazy year for him. He has won not only Canadian national championship, but also a USA one. Kicking ass in extraordinary fashion in his super fight(ELECTRIC CHAIR) for sure this year is a year to celebrate. Also his students keep kicking serios ass in national and international competitions like NAGAS and de PANAMS. To put a nice end to this nomination he recieve his 10thplanet black belt by this becoming the first canadian to have one. ossss.
The only award I am eligable for is "Most missed time due to injury", but you're a funny guy Joe.
Moon: Melbourne & San Fransico
Warriors: Nathan Orchard and Kyra Batara
Brian Debes and Louis Ho for Niburu Warrior of the year. Both have shown how they can dominate in competition and Louis being the first Canadian black belt says a lot.
As for moon, I vote for Omaha. Derek has done a lot with the Midwest Submission Challenge and his guys help make it possible. They have traveled all over bringing sub only to new markets including Chicago, St. Louis and Denver. That entire moon works hard to rep while at tournaments as well as host them. He also has a great kids program so they are building the future of the system!
Debes for warrior.
Vista for Moon.
Lets throw in Cora Sek as a nominee.
Moon-Montreal and San Fran!
