| Lemme Axe you a question? | | No, to be in the UFC HoF you need to actually win UFC fights. | | 19% | [ 4 ] | | Yes, Pride was UFC level and he utterly dominated for many years. Pride was then bought by the UFC and the title he held was recognized as equal to the UFC's and unified. | | 81% | [ 17 ] |

| Undefeated for like a thousand years in Pride, smashed Rampage twice in his prime, fought and competed well with great HW's like Crocop and Hunt, and was one of the most electrifying fighters ever.
However, he is something like 2-6 in the Octagon, and has struggled mightily inside the UFC against top tier competition.
Does Wanderlei get your vote, if you're a voter for the UFC HoF?

| If you don't want all of MMA to be steroetyped into being "the UFC," then guys who haven't fought and won a good number of fights in that organization have no business being in their hall of fame. There needs to be a Mixed Martial Arts Hall of Fame.

| Nope, sorry. The UFC HOF is exactly that. It's not a MMA HOF. | |

I think you mean he did what FOR the UFC. And in that case, there's no question he helped legitimize it, and helped to bring in more fighters by giving them bigger sponsorship deals for fighting in the UFC. | |

So when do the Xience guys get inducted? They gave Chuck some huge money and really helped establish superstars. How about Big John? He is the best ref in the biz and was while in the UFC. | |

Xyience came in after TapOut. Nay, because of the success of TapOut. That's what I'm saying, TapOut is the reason there are companies like Xyience who are willing to sponsor fighters. And Big John probably will be in the UFC HOF. | |

| BJM will get in someday. He's in limbo with Shamrock, Miletich and guys like that right now.
No conceivable reason Wandy wouldn't be in there. I really can't even come up with many arguments except fighting too many guys that should be at 185. | |

| When hendo fought Rampage and Anderson the Pride belts were recognized so I think that should put an end to the argument. | |
