The UFC's best photos of 2016: Blood and sweat, bulging eyeballs and distorted faces

We’ve got the first UFC event of 2017 tonight, so what better time to bring you a look back at the best UFC photos from all of 2016?

And there were some great ones. The USA TODAY Sports photographers captured all the flying sweat and spit and blood, all the face-shifting punches and kicks, from every UFC event last year. We compiled the best photos of each month of the season, and now we’re bringing you the best of the best from the entire year.

Check out the photos in the video above and the gallery below. We’ve got Condit-Lawler. We’ve got Nunes-Rousey. We’ve got Tate-Holm. Duh – we’ve got both Conor-Nate fights. It wasn’t easy to narrow all the fantastic shots, given how many great ones there were. But we’re sure you’ll approve.
