2024 Year-End Awards Show: Celebrating the best from one of MMA’s wildest years ever

The MMA world will remember 2024 for a number of crazy moments and breakout stars.

Join the MMA Fighting staff as we look back at the biggest highs, surprises, and most unbelievable moments of 2024 in a special year-end retrospective. We’re honoring all the nights that defined a rollercoaster of a year this sport has seen in quite some time — and handing out plenty of hardware in celebration of the knockouts, submissions, fights, fighters, and rookies who made sure 2024 was a year that will be remembered.

While some of the award winners seem obvious, others may come with controversy, most notably the Fighter of the Year and Fight of the Year categories.

Check out MMA Fighting’s 2024 year-end award show above, hosted by our own Mike Heck and featuring a panel of Alexander L.Lee, Jed Meshew, and E. Casey Leydon.
