The video is hosted by Eddie Hall, the 2017 World's Strongest Man and deadlift record holder [00:00]. The video highlights the historic Octagon achievements of three specific fighters nominated for this award category: Sean O'Malley: Nominated for his historic striking output during his fight against Kris Moutinho at UFC 264. The commentary and graphics emphasize that O'Malley put on a masterclass, landing a jaw-dropping 89 significant strikes in the first round alone, establishing a new single-round UFC record. He continued this relentless pace over three rounds, ultimately setting the all-time three-round UFC record by landing a total of 230 significant strikes [00:28]. Max Holloway: Highlighted for his legendary performance against Calvin Kattar at UFC on ABC 1. Holloway set staggering new high-water marks for total volume in UFC history, throwing a massive total of 622 strikes and landing an unprecedented 268 of them over the course of the bout. The video captures the iconic moment during the fight where Holloway looks away and yells to the commentary team that he is the best boxer in the UFC while dodging and landing punches blindly [02:47]. Amanda Nunes: Recognized for her swift submission victory against Megan Anderson at UFC 259. The video shows her closing the distance, hurting her opponent on the feet, taking her back, and locking in a flawless reverse triangle armbar to force the tap. The footage highlights her historic status as the greatest women's combat sports athlete of all time, adding to her dominance and maintaining the second-longest active UFC winning streak at the time [03:45]. At the conclusion of the video, host Eddie Hall invites fans to drop comments if they feel any other legendary 2021 moments were missed and reminds the audience to cast their votes to decide the final winner [04:56].
