Lol yeah, so who inducts people in the HOF? Dana White?

[Luis Cruz]

pat militech, carlos newton, frank shamrock, mark coleman, oleg taktarov for now, obviously there's more that are still fighting.

no nos- tank and kimo. it should be by success not being popular, this aint wrestling. you dont see boxers that were ok fighters but very popular get into hof and in football theres people that get bumped that were great. so like someone else said, to keep it meaniful put the best fighters in.

knowing dana's very large ego, he would pay someone or just say F@#k until he does.

I doubt Pat and Frank will get in with their UFC troubles. I'd be surprised if they were ever inducted unless the shit gets cleaned up first. And personally, I don't see why so many people remember Carlos Newton... He was better than a lot of people during his time, but he was never great then either IMO.

Severn was actually a great fighter during the oldschool, one-dimension fighter time period and he paved the way for wrestlers in the sport.

no way in hell severn is more deserving he was a punk and a boring a fighter.tank helped put the ufc on the map with his exciting fighting style and imo that's hof worthy.

wasnt frank the MW champ?

Tank is not the best fightet but his name brought tons of recognition to the UFC. For that alone he should be in.

[Matt Boone]

Frank Shamrock, Pat Miletich, Mark Coleman, Don Frye. I agree on all those.

Tank Abbott, Carlos Newton, Oleg Taktarov. I don't really agree with those.

Tank and Newton both have an under .500 record in the UFC. You put them in and it kind of lowers the standards. Newton was a UFC champ, but lost the belt in his 1st defense. If you put Newton in, you might as well put Bas Rutten in considering he only has one less win than Newton in the UFC.
