Frank Shamrock: 'UFC Hall of Fame is not credible unless I

Quote:
"I don’t think the(UFC) Hall of Fame has any credibility unless I’m in it. I was the first champion ever and set two world records and I’ve been pioneering for this sport since before there was weight classes and gloves. So, it kind of looks to me like the whole hall of fame is, it’s up to Dana's own jock as to who decide to go in and unfortunately that does not apply in a real sport, in a real sport it is completely different, so."

Old news but I agree he should be in the HOF.

A prime Frank Shamrock is something special to watch even today, he's one of the greatest fighters of the 1990s & deserves his spot in history. He was a genuine pleasure to watch & truly embodied what I love about MMA.

PS, Frank's also a really nice guy.

He might be right but his wording certainly didn't help his cause.

Was Mask a UFC fighter?



Well, then I'd say the UFC Hall of Fame is as credible as the WWE's at this point in time.

You do realize most Hall of Fames have people in them that didn't actually compete in the sport/league right ?

Not sure what card you are thinking of but Frank certainly didn't win the David vs Goliath one. Frank never competed in 1 night tounaments in the UFC.

Ed Barrow, Morgan Bulkeley, Henry Chadwick, Happy Chandler, Barney Dreyfuss, Ford Frick, Warren Giles, Will Harridge, William Hulbert, Ban Johnson, Bowie Kuhn, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, Larry MacPhail, Lee MacPhail, Effa Manley, Walter O'Malley, Alex Pompez, Branch Rickey, Bill Veeck, Tom Yawkey, George Weiss..

Look at this list of names, Not a single person here played baseball, yet they are all in Cooperstown, tell me.. is the Baseball HOF not credible either?

I fully expect Buffer to be inducted into the UFC HOF one day and can't see an argument against it.
