I have to say that Gerbert's performance was legendary this year, he pretty much has already wrapped up the award and he still has one fight left. Defoe is also pretty much guaranteed the 2nd spot, even though he is not have any fights left for this year. All the other spots can change for sure, some fighters could jump up 3-4 places, so it will be interesting.
