We saw so many great fights this season we're having trouble picking out a favorite. So we thought we'd narrow it down to our top and let you guys decide which fighter had the best beatdown of the season. Think it was Andrei "Shut Em' Out" Arlovski? Eddie "Take The Money And Run" Alvarez? Or how about Tony "DQ" Bonnello or Jake "I Want Mayhem" Shields? Take a look at our six favorite fighters and tell us whose fight packed the most punch.

We don't like Nathan any more than you do. And if there's anyone who deserves to get his face smashed into the mats -- or, better yet, the cage -- it's that guy. But as much as we like vigilante justice (we send 'em our bullies, Jason "Mayhem" Miller sentences 'em to a world of pain), we think Andrei "The Pit Bull" Arlovski might've been a little a hard on this week's Human Punching Bag.

+ Think Arlovski should've shown Nasty Nate a little leniency, given that dude was waaaaaay outta his league? Or should the MMA fighters always go all out, regardless of the bully's fightin' skillz (or lack thereof)? Take our poll and tell us whether you think dem bullies deserve a fightin' chance!

You've gotta have a screw (or two) loose if you're thinking about jumping in the ring with an MMA fighter. Ditto if you think you've got a snowball's chance in hell of actually winning. But we'll say one thing for all the raving looneys out there -- if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have a show.

"These guys [the bullies] are f---ing crazy to want to try to fight a professional MMA fighter," Bully Beatdown producer Eric Van Wagenen tells FightMagazine.com, adding that truth usually doesn't sink in til the fight's already underway. "[A]bout two seconds after Big John starts the fight," Van Wagenen adds, "[y]ou see that look in the bully's eyes." In fact, he even has a name for it: the "Oh, Sh*t! Moment."
