These are just my opinions, but I'd be curious to hear what other people here would pick...

Male Fighter of the Decade: Jon Jones (16-0-1 NC)
Female Fighter of the Decade: Amanda Nunes (15-3)
Fight of the Decade: Dan Henderson vs. Shogun Rua (2011)
Knockout of the Decade: Edson Barbosa wheel kick to Terry Etim (2012)
Submission of the Decade: Frank Mir’s kimura of Big Nog (2011)
Upset of the Decade: Holly Holm over Ronday Rousey (2015)/Fabricio Werdum over Fedor (2010)
Referee of the Decade: Marc Goddard
Story of the Decade: Connor McGreggor, MMA’s first megastar
Moment of the Decade: Chris Weidman KO’s a showboating Anderson Silva (2013)

Those seem pretty on the mark. I might go with the Barbosa switch knee KO over his wheel kick. And I definitely would downgrade Frank Mir - esp when using a strength sub - considering the vast amounts of synthetic hormones he's been on. **** that guy.

Ya those are pretty on point.

IIRC he got out of a choke from Nog and then broke his arm. Pretty badass. Even with the juice.

I think the story of the decade is UFC's march to the mainstream. I would not have expected it to be a feature on ESPN 10 years ago.

Bigfoot v Hunt was probably my favorite fight of the decade. It was like a real life Rocky movie. Found out later that Silva was juicing which makes Marks performance all the more impressive.
