While this year’s MMA Freak Awards are being published late, this still isn’t the latest that the MMA Freak Awards were published.
Due to the late nature and time constraints, the only published awards will be the winners.
Honorable mentions will return next year.
Of note is that the articles award will be dropped this year.
