The 2017 Heavies Awards - Breakout Fighter of the Year
Thanks to everyone who has been voting in the Heavies Awards so far!
These are the fighters I believe should be up for Breakout Fighter of the Year - they have manged to create decent buzz around themselves in the media and coupled that buzz with some top wins. They've managed to use 2017 to rise through their divisions ranks quickly and become one of their divisions premier fighters - all of these fighters are unbeaten in 2017. There has been plenty of epic moments and great stories this year but it's up to you guys to see who wins this..
Be sure to tell us why you voted for who you did! Thanks for voting!
