British MMA fighter of the year
This has been a remarkable year of success for British MMA fighters.
After waiting six years for another world champion in a major organisation, we got two in quick succession in Leon Edwards (UFC) and Brendan Loughnane (Professional Fighters League).
We've seen the likes of Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann capture the imagination and attention of wider sports audiences and watched prospects like Muhammad Mokaev and Cory McKenna flourish on the biggest stage.
Cage Warriors is awash with British champions including Northern Ireland's Paul Hughes and England's George Hardwick.
And let's not forget KSW heavyweight champion Phil De Fries who successfully defended his title in the Polish MMA promotion for the sixth and seventh time this year.
There are almost too many great fighters to mention. But we want you to pick your fighter of the year, if you can.
Good luck!
