Like we do every year, Bloody Elbow put the best of 2015 up for a vote. Nine categories were available to chime in on, and our readers did exactly that – to the tune of 30,000+ votes. I’d like to thank you for your responses, and here’s how it all broke down.
Holly Holm was the big winner with three nods. Best Submission and Biggest Debacle were the closest votes. 3 categories were blowouts with the winner getting more than 75% of the vote.
You can click on each individual category for the full breakdown, but I’ll just show the top three-vote-getters here.
