Manny Pacquiao beats Machida and Silva for 'Fighter of the Year'

Don't be disappointed MMA fans, Pac-man has a lock and the coveted Filipino vote.

Don't be disappointed MMA fans, Pac-man has a lock and the coveted Filipino vote.

It looks like UFC 100 didn't have any effect on ESPY voting as Manny Pacquiao beat out fellow boxer Shane Mosley and two UFC champions to win 'Fighter of the Year' at last night's ESPY awards. 

The widely considered best pound-for-pound boxer was the favorite going into the ESPY's and with two marquee wins, the most recent being over Ricky Hatton, coupled with wide known name recognition it was no wonder his odds were -300. 

This year did make history for mixed martial arts as Lyoto Machida and Anderson Silva were nominated for the award. This was the first time multiple MMA fighters were nominated for the award. Last year Georges St. Pierre broke the barrier being the first ever MMA fighter to be nominated for an ESPY, St. Pierre didn't win.
