Tank is 8-10 in the Octagon, that isn't really Hall of Fame worthy. I don't think Kimo deserves to either. He didn't really beat any top fighters in the UFC. Both guys are MMA legends, but not HOF worthy IMO. I would go with Coleman or Couture as the next guys to go in.

I agree that Tank and Kimo shouldn't be allowed into the HoF. I think the HoF should only induct great fighters of their times, and neither were great during their time. And Severn deserves the honor a lot more so than Tank. Tank was just a popular brawler. Severn was actually a great fighter during the oldschool, one-dimension fighter time period and he paved the way for wrestlers in the sport.

Don Frye, Mark Coleman, Frank Shamrock, and someone who I've only seen one person mention Randy Couture. Couture was the first and I believe only (correct me if I'm wrong) guy to win titles at two different weight classes.

Tank is definately eligable for the HoF. Without Tank in the early years the UFC would not be here now. He was one of the most popular fighters going & people watched the UFC because of him.
Ken Shamrock did just as much as Tank & he was one of the first inducted.
Also what's behind the idea that Liddle & Hughes should be inducted after they retire?
All of the current inductees are currently active fighters.
IMO Couture & Vitor are a gimme for the inductees from the Zuffa era, but from the SEG era Tank, Marco Ruas, Oleg Taktarov & Paul Varelans should be entered.
