4-3 in the UFC. 4 of those were for the title. He was never the best in the World. He had a name and a weak division. But I'm sure Zuffa will put him in. But in reality this shouldn't even be a question. He was no where near HOF caliber fighter.

The argument can be made that he has Hall of Fame caliber for the UFC, but not so much as a Mixed Martial Artist.

Would Poopy Pants or AA be considered UFC HOFers?

Looks like AA was 10-4 in the UFC. Fought in 5 straight title fights.
Poopy pants 8-4 in the UFC. Fought for the UFC title 9 times(is that right?).

No but Brock's run was impressive considering the circumstances.

He revitalized the heavyweight division during a weak period and had a lot of success, but he is def not a hall of fame fighter.

I love Brock Lesnar and I believe he was very good but the HOF should be for the elite. No way Brock was elite.

If Brock is then people like Maurice Smith, Kevin Randleman and Pat Miletich need to be in

Yeah, but I was really expecting you to bring Frank Shamrock to the front on this.

What do you guys think about AA and Poopy pants? They clearly need to be infront of Brock in the HOF line.

Frank is a bona fide kick-yourself-in-the-nuts for not having him in the hall of fame type fighter.

He is 4-3 in the UFC but he got screwed vs Mir and lost to a steroid freak in Overeem. He really should only have 1 loss on his record. Arlovski should be in there way before Brock.

My feeling is this. Does he have the credentials to get in? Yes, he beat a HOF fighter for the title. Then defended it against a fomer two-time title holder and then against an interim title holder.
But I admit that putting him in, makes me feel a little bit dirty.

He helped the UFC grow tremendously and defended the HW title in epic fashion against Mir and Carwin. He was never the best HW in the UFC much less the world but that isn't what the hall of fame is about obviously with no Frank Shamrock.
He is absolutely a HoFr. I'd be pretty liberal with guys I'd vote in though.

This! He brought viewers and helped the sport. His win percentage was on par with randy and bj and he did start fighting late in life. He only had losses to champions also. I say yes.

You know who also brought in record breaking numbers for viewers? Kevin Ferguson.

Never heard of him....Brock was a title holder and beat big names. Kimbo has nowhere near the resume that Brock does, so gtfo with that analogy.
