There's a year-end award for everything these days, huh?

2011 is almost in the books and with that, a look back at the year that was in MMA. Right here on MMAmania.com, we had you Maniacs vote for the best of the best in various categories, such as fight, knockout and submission. Actually, it's still ongoing, so go vote now!

But we forgot one all important category that gets so much play 'round these parts -- the staredown.

As luck would have it, UFC.com took the time to count down the top five staredowns of 2011. That list, along with a poll so you can tell us if you agree, is after the jump.

Star-divide

5. Michael Bisping vs. Jorge Rivera at UFC 127

i felt the same way

but voted for him anyways. I feel dirty.

Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

Jones/Rampage at the press conference!

by tremblay6 on Dec 27, 2011 4:54 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

so was that cheesy fart when Jones was choking him.

Although I spend countless hours researching, it has taken a ‘Cali Cock-Slap’ for me to come to the realization that Frank Mir is a top HW. If not for Cali ringing my bell, I might also never have never realized that Randy Couture is MMA’s greatest achievement. Having had this sense finally rammed into me, I can now move forward and strive to breakout of my eternal bridesmaid rut.

Silva/Belfort was cool but too contrived

I loved how fired up Rampage was and the shit he was talking to Jones, telling him to stare at him back.
