I am going to announce the annual GAMMA fighter of the year. Unlike the game's "Fighter of the year", which is a popularity vote where people vote their friends fighters, the GAMMA yearly award is based upon specific criteria. I use the same criteria when picking the Hall of Fame.
1 Per fight of Night
1 Per Loss
2 Per draw
3 Per title fight/Super fight
4 Per win
The the more regular you fight and the better you perform, the more points you accumulate. These are the previous winners of this award that goes back to 2009!
