Another question that I posed in the survey I did this December was, Which fighters emerged as the new favorites in 2009? Although I did not ask what characteristics each person used in determining their new favorite fighter for 2009, I would assume the following attributes helped to form opinions.
1. Their performance demonstrated dominance on all MMA levels.
2. Their confidence in the cage.
3. Their accomplishments.
I wanted to narrow the list down to five fighters. But believe it or not, I ended up with an equal amount of votes for 6 fighters. So one fighter didn't actually emerge as the most or least on the list. So I have taken the liberty to decide based on the 6-way tie which fighters are going to receive each placement.
