The World Mixed Martial Arts Awards are taking place this Wednesday in Las Vegas. The awards are put on by Fighters Only Magazine and were created with the purpose of recognizing and celebrating the achievements of the people involved in making MMA so great.
We're going to be live blogging the event on Wednesday, and to make it a bit more fun, we've decided to hold a contest. Send us your picks, via a comment to this post, for who you think is going to win in each category. The person with the most correct picks will win a Gals Guide to MMA t-shirt. Be the first kid on your block to have one! If more than one person gets the most number of correct picks, will chose a winner by random draw. You can find the nominees after the jump!
