Looking back at the previous winners, there are a lot of all time P4P greats, and Michael Bisping. I wonder if any of them looked as mediocre at the time as the 2019 list does right now. Could just be a sign that I haven't been paying attention.

To me, the rise of Israel Adesanya is more impressive than Jorge's... he gets my vote.

I like active fighters, so it's between Jorge and Izzy. I'll go Izzy because of level of competition. I'm a big believer in both Gastelum and Whitaker. Crazy that he still has Romero - Costa - Cannonier on tap. It's crazy that division hasn't skipped a beat from like 3-5 years ago when guys like Weidman/Rockhold/Machida/Mousasi were at the top of it.

Absolutely hard

Have to give it to Izzy, All he has to do is beat Steroid monkey Costa and he's swept a lot of the middleweight division in a very short span

What’s the argument for someone other than Izzy? 3 wins over three high quality opponents. Dudes also the best fighter in the world (p4p)
