Video: Did we get it right with our Fight of the Year?

We’ve wrapped a fascinating 2022 in MMA and we’re not too far away from the first major event of 2023.

But there’s still some time to look back at the year that was in the sport before we start a mad dash for those 2023 year-end awards.

On the first episode of MMA Junkie’s “Spinning Back Clique” in the new year, we looked back at the biggest fighters and biggest fight moments of 2022.

There were all kinds of great candidates for Fight of the Year across the UFC, Bellator, PFL, ONE Championship and more major promotions. But what made one stand out above the rest of the pack to win our Fight of the Year award? Our panel of Brian “Goze” Garcia, Nolan King and Danny Segura discussed the candidates who made a case for the honor.

Check out their discussion in the video above. Then don’t miss the full episode below.

“Spinning Back Clique” is released each Monday LIVE on MMA Junkie’s YouTube channel.
