Ronda Rousey was also in the running for "Fighter of the Year," but had to settle for "Female Fighter of the Year" on the strength of her two title fights in Strikeforce.

Both bouts ended via Rousey's trademark first-round armbar submission skills, although the peak of her year definitely came with her formal induction into the UFC as the promotion's women's bantamweight champion.

Michael Bisping and Chris Weidman were the other big winners of the night, as the middleweights took home the awards for "International Fighter of the Year" and "Breakout Fighter of the Year," respectively.

Bisping and Weidman aren't UFC champions themselves, but both men are nonetheless angling for title shots against the current divisional king, Anderson Silva. Weidman is currently injured, but Bisping will face off against Vitor Belfort during the main event at UFC on FX 7 on Saturday, Jan. 19 for the right to challenge Silva at some point later this year.
