GAMMA has been holding it annual awards going back to to when we started the organization, back in 2009, older that some of the people playing the game today.
In that period we have had some all time greats, that are among the best the game has ever seen. Former winners include fighters such as Mikhail Yudovich, Raz Matazz, Jeremy Tonal, Anton Chigurh, Renan St Juste, Jesse Custer, Gunnar Steigelmann, Gerbert Bryant, Bubba Gumption, Thomas Bolleke, Papa Moosh Dambullah, Karim Johnson and last years winner Tam Yu Tai.
Winners of the award are given a total of 100 points that go towards their GAMMA legacy points, 75 to 2nd place and 60 points for 3rd place. So getting a top 3 placing matters long term.
The awards are based using the following ranking system (since 2015):
+3 points for a win,
+1 point for a draw,
+1 point if the fight was a title fight or super fight (between other orgs),
+1 point for fight of the night award.
-In the case there is a draw, we take into consideration total fights in GAMMA during the year (fewer the better)
-In the case of a draw again we take into consideration finishes.
Note: Fight of the night awards are always given to fighters in the top couple of fights on the card, almost always to a title fight or the most hyped fight on the card. Special cases are for KOs or Submission awards, if there is nobody in the main 2-3 fights with a KO or Submission.
Only Fighters with 30+ points as of the 20th of December 2024 and only fighters who won the title during the year are ranked:
Gunner Bond (385133) 53 Points (Fights on 21/12)

It is extremely close as you can see! In fact, it will be decided in the last 2 weeks of the year. Gunner goes in as major favorite to win the fighter of the year award, with a win he can gain a minimum of 3 points + he can get an extra point if he wins one of the FON awards. However, he is not competing in a title fight, which is what Surianglek and Hawk are doing on the 21st and 28th of the month respectively. It is not impossible for Kurt or even Oliver to sneak into the top 3 with wins at the end of the year, so it will be interesting to see how this ends, good luck to everyone for the final 2 weeks!
