I need your help

arielhelwani.substack.com

As you may know, the highly-prestigious The MMA Hour Awards show will air on Jan. 3. I’ve been doing this show for several years now — of course, it was called The Helwani Nose awards during my time at ESPN, but it was the same thing — and I love doing it.

It’s a beast of a show with 20+ categories, so I need your help.

Below are the categories. Please tell me in the comments section who you think should win. This would be helpful and appreciative. I like taking the temperature of the people.

Thank you and God bless.
