Vote: British MMA fighter of the year

The UK produced two MMA world champions in 2022

This has been a remarkable year of success for British MMA fighters.

We've seen the likes of Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann capture the imagination and attention of wider sports audiences and watched prospects like Muhammad Mokaev and Cory McKenna flourish on the biggest stage.

Cage Warriors is awash with British champions including Northern Ireland's Paul Hughes and England's George Hardwick.

And let's not forget KSW heavyweight champion Phil De Fries who successfully defended his title in the Polish MMA promotion for the sixth and seventh time this year.

There are almost too many great fighters to mention. But we want you to pick your fighter of the year, if you can.

Good luck!
