"The 2019 World MMA Awards" već godinama organizira ugledni "Fighters Only" magazin. Dodjela nagrada održana je noćas u "Pearl Concert Theater" dvorani u Las Vegasu, a dio je UFC-ovog Internacionalnog vikenda koji pratimo svake godine i koji će kulminirati PPV eventom UFC 239 u subotu. 

Ukupno se moglo glasati u 22. kategorije. Glasovalo se putem online portala "Fighters Only". 

U najvažnijoj kategoriji, onoj "MMA borac godine", je pobijedio UFC šampion u teškoj kategoriji Daniel Cormier, koji je u prošloj godini pobijedio Stipu Miočića i okitio se drugim pojasem UFC prvaka. 

Žensku nagradu za najbolju borkinju očekivano je odnijela dvostruka UFC prvakinja Amanda Nunes. Nju na UFC-u 239 očekuje bivša prvakinja Holly Holm i obrana u bantamu.
