I mean come on it shouldn't be taken seriously at all. Both Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock are in and they were in hands down the worst fight I've ever seen in the UFC and I happened to be there in Detroit, and tried to give it a second chance thinking it couldn't have been as bad as I remembered so I rented it years later watched it again and had the pleasure of being tortured twice. Then when you look at Mark Coleman being in also I don't even know what else to say, so I'm not even going to get started on Mask. I can’t believe there’s this much interest in the UFC Hall of Fame.

I feel that as long as there is not an impartial board set up to nominate inductees then a gray cloud of stench hovers. i.e. Tito will never make it to the hall a fame, and that is a shame. Dave, you know I love you and all, but who says you have to be retired/no longer fighting to be inducted? Michael Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame long before his death. Basically, I think there should be a SOP for the Hall of Fame, and a board/committee set up to follow the SOP in nominating inductees, but since this is the UFC and it his family owned and operated it isn't gonna happen.

If you want to put one in as a so called "builder category" I would select Mask. Just on a bit of a side note the whiny bitch penn would never get in if i had any say.

And Tank knocked out guys like Matua and "the guy against the fence"(don't feel like looking that up). Maybe Brad Kohler should be in to. Point is all the guys who dominated in those days are already in outside of MAYBE Don Frye. Steve Jennum deserves to be in above tank. Oleg Taktarov deserves to be in above Tank. Shit why dont we put Mark Kerr in for making "the smashing machine". Douche. Meatloaf: I was watching in those days.

I felt that they had a good rivalry that really propelled the UFC into the mainstream in '03-'06. No bad blood between the two anymore, but inducting two UFC poster boys together would have made a lot of sense. I too like the idea of fighters being inducted as HOF athletes but think that the UFC should also create a "BUILDERS" category for the likes of Art Davie, Mask, Big John, Joe Rogan, Bruce Buffer, Stitch etc. This category could also induct groups like Semaphore Entertainment Group (the reason we have a cage), New Jersey Athletic Board (Created the first rules and sanctioning), Gracie Jiu Jitsu, the Militch Camp, and TapouT brand to name a few. Thats my 2 cents! It seems like its too late now, but I would have liked to have seen Randy and Chuck inducted at the same time.

My point was that Tanner WAS a former champion which puts him leagues above the object of your man-crush, Tank Abbott. My problem isn't reading comprehension, it's my inability to talk reason to an idiot. Yes, I know you stated that Tanner won the MW title but lost it in his first defense.

Don’t be afraid of it, it won’t bite." What the hell are you talking about are you dumb or something? You clearly stated in the first line in your previous post in BOLD that "Tanner is a FORMER MW CHAMPION you numbskull" in reply to my post when I clearly stated the exact same thing. Why don't you try to practice what you preach before you come across as a complete moron. Sergio Hernandez”It’s called reading. Don’t be afraid of it, it won’t bite.”
