Fighters Only Magazine

Issue 60 - Out Now!

The growth of MMA has surpassed almost all expectations, and it’s only getting bigger. As the sport is bigger than it’s ever been, it was time to recognise the achievements of the people who make it so special. That’s why Fighters Only created the World MMA Awards, the first honours in MMA that are totally 100% fan-driven. Not only did you nominate who was in with a chance of running, but you were the people who chose the winners from the shortlists in each category.

Your highest award went to Georges St Pierre, the Canadian super athlete you deemed to be Fighter of the Year. St Pierre’s status as one of the best mixed martial artists in the world was never in doubt, but you felt his accomplishments in 2009 warranted further recognition. He was over the moon with his award, as we found out when we exclusively interviewed him shortly after. Find out more about GSP’s hopes for the coming 12 months on our massive eight-page feature.

There are interviews with the likes of Dutch heavyweight Alistair Overeem, former WEC champ Urijah Faber, Australian journeyman Elvis Sinosic and MMA trainer Erik Paulson, plus a gigantic 37-page special supplement that takes you behind the scenes of the World MMA Awards ceremony in Las Vegas.

• The 20 Greatest Moments of 2009
• Special tribute to Charles ‘Mask’ Lewis
