Now that 2016 is in the books, it’s time to reflect on some of the great fights and performances that took place inside the Invicta cage over the last year.

In December we asked you, the fans, to help determine winners in five categories: Fighter of the Year, Fight of the Year, Knockout of the Year, Submission of the Year and Newcomer of the Year.

The votes have been tallied and your voices have been heard. Here are your winners of the Invicta 2016 Fan Choice Awards!
