I think its between Edgar and Machida. I went with Edgar only because I already knew Machida good.

Roger Huerta You fight that many times and do that well...and most people didn't even know you existed before... I would say that is breakthrough fighter of the year.

Machida or Edgar but i went with Machida because he finished his fight over a top opponent and dominates all of his fights where edgar hasnt really dominated anybody, he's just won decisively. I know he finished boceck but i wouldnt call bocek a top opponent.

Edgar for the exact reasons you just listed. Plus, Edgar got no "push" from the UFC, he just went in and won tough matches.

As much as I like Serra, Uber is right. To fight that much and successfully and climb so far so fast, he deserves it. I still think his reputation is ahead of his skills, but facts are facts an wins are wins.

Agreed. I forgot Nate Marquardt should be added too.

I love Edgar but went with Huerta, great year and people are still shitting on him even after he beat Guida.

I went with Machida because of the way he's coming along. He's a machine. Huerta had a remarkable year as well. I just think the visibility of LHW and the competition there (Not that it has better fighters, just bigger names) makes Machida the choice.
