Rage In The Cage XI
The 2007 UFC Awards
Johnny "Wildfire" Rage
      2007 was the year that Mixed Martial Arts finally took it’s place as #1 in combat sports.  Boxing had two big
fights but the UFC provided a full year's worth of top quality shows.  2007 will be known as the year of upsets,
highlight reel KO’s, breath-taking submissions, and moments that will be etched in our minds forever.  As a
columnist and a fan since UFC 1, I can gladly say that I’m proud of the sport and can’t wait for ‘08.  Over the past
few weeks, fans have had the opportunity to vote for 2007’s finest MMA Fighters and here are their choices.
