Alex Pereira made for 2024 men's fighter of the year with his three short-notice title victories. However, 'Poatan's' accomplishments were overshadowed by Ilia Topuria knocking out Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway in back-to-back performances.

Who literally won the most?

Charles Johnson, Carlos Prates, and Joaquin Buckley each notched four wins in the Octagon this year. Johnson's wins were against elite flyweight competition, and is also a return to form since his three-fight losing streak in 2023. Prates was an instant-favorite with four walk-off knockouts. Buckley legitimized himself as a top welterweight contender by TKO'ing Colby Covington at UFC Tampa.
