Forget talking turkey. Let's talk some trash.
It's been quite a year in MMA, with the level of competition now arguably higher and deeper than ever.

Boxing has had its share of highlights as well, from Fury-Wilder 3 garnering global fascination to the continued dominance of Canelo Alvarez.
But combat sports is still combat sports, and combat sports is as combat sports does.
