Agree with all but one of those Paul - Fighter of the Year, IMO, is Alers.

[Wickett180]

Fighter of the Year - James Brum
Fight of the Year - Caers vs. Reed - Great back and forth battle.
KO of the Year - Hucin vs. Joseph
Submission of the Year - Either of John Phillips, Never saw them coming. Probably the triangle against Penz edges it.
Event of the Year - Cage Warriors 47
Moment of the Year - Fields kicking Phillips in the chin after being goaded into engaging.

[Nathan_Court]

Fighter of the Year - Jim Alers
Fight of the Year - James vs. N'Doye
KO of the Year - Hucin
Submission of the Year - Phillips' triangle
Event of the Year - CW 47
Moment of the Year - McGregor's Dublin celebration

[Jay]

Fighter of the Year - Conor McGregor
Fight of the Year - Pendred vs. Bielkheden
KO of the Year - Brad Scott's left hook to the body v Mok Rahman
Submission of the Year - Pavel Kusch's omoplata v Alexander Starikov
Event of the Year - Cage Warriors 47
Moment of the Year - If there's prizes involved, then I'm gonna say a certain UK MMA media personality stepping up after the weigh-ins had taken place to take on a dangerous Irish-Russian, and winning via gruelling UD

We're still seeking sponsors for a couple of the categories here. Companies will have exclusive sponsorship of their category and will only be asked to provide a prize e.g. gear, supplements etc. for the winning fighter(s) in their category. Would be a nice little boost for a fighter coming up to Christmas. We'll be pushing this with a lot of publicity on our website, social media and press releases. PM me if you're interested.
