Are OMalley and Cruz the only BW Hall of famers in mma?

[ArtardFiesta]

Cruz is considered the greatest so he is in.
OMalley is on his way and will likely surpass Cruz as the BW p4p. This is a projection.
If umar lives up the hype probably ends up bw GOAT.

I don't really count faber and aldo as BW.

Barao was a monster but the way he faded it ruined his hof chances.

TJ people will make an argument for being in the hof, but imo he should be kept out for being a PED cheat, overall POS, and cancer to whatever he touched.

Aljo run is marked with *

Yan has a chance if he ever regains the belt, but it seems like he has peaked.

I don't think cejudo gets in. Champ Champ but he had a lot of work for him.

 

[Khaosan]

Trolls don’t even try anymore.

 

[Lycandroid]

nobody outside of cruz has a strong argument for being in the hall of fame

 

[El Fernas]

TJ is the only one besides Cruz with a half decent claim, but then there its the PED's case...

 

[Koala]

Isn’t Faber already in the hall of fame?

TJ is the only one besides Cruz with a half decent claim, but then there its the PED's case...

SOM popped twice.

 

[laleggenda27]

MMA doesn't have a legitimate hall of fame, so the point is moot.

 

[mirellale]

TJ is a two-time BW champion and has defended his title three times. He should be in HOF. No brainer.

 

[sickness666]

For Cruz there is no argument why not.

But O Malley? Are you stoned? For what reason? For the most social media followers at BW? Or his trendy hair styles?

Not everyone who has had the title should be a HOFer. And if you got a title shot that fishy O Malley got his....

I don´t see anything at the moment why this guy should be even considered.

 

[NoSmilez]

It is UFC HOF. They have to choose someone or two every year. Maybe they will discount or at least delay Dillashaw for the PEDs but they will let Cejudo in. It is good for the optics. He is a Mexican American gold medalist and was a two division champion.

Aljo might get in way later. He has been with the company for 10 years and roughly 20 fights. Modern wing doesn't have many black folks outside of DC. Aljo's career is not over yet. He might get a crack at the FW title.

 

[El Fernas]

SOM popped twice.

Omalley? Yeah, but either way he doesnt have a claim just yet anyway.

 

[Domitian]

Cejudo is a tough one, because it definitely feels like he should get in. Won FLW title with defense over the BW champion and BW win with defense over HOFer Cruz. Yeah I'd put Cejudo in at BW.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Not counting Aldo and Faber was mentioned, so it gotta without saying that you're not counting Frankie as a BW either, right?

 

[honzo]

TJ should be in there, his PED was terrible but atleast it was a one off. I don't think "being an asshole" really counts in the HOF criteria, Jones is in after all.

 

[chinarice]

Lol at people trying to put anyone other than Cruz above TJ at BW

There's already PED users in the HOF and you're delusional if you think orherwise

 

[Streeter]

Dillasnake way over Omalley

 

[RockyLockridge]

Faber, Aljo, Cejudo, TJ

 

[RockyLockridge]

Dillasnake way over Omalley

lol Aljo is over o'malley too. Aljo had 3 top 5 wins going into his title fight with yan. After O'malley, he basically had that division cleared out.

 

[loisestrad]

The thing about a hall of fame is that you gotta have one, cuz if you don't, it's like admitting that your genre/sport/whatever isn't relevant.

But when you're a relatively newly established genre/sport/whatever, you have to fill up that fucking hall of fame. You can't include 2-3 people and call it a hall.

Better fill up a hall with mediocre fighters than fill up a stall with one or two great ones. At least you have a hall.

 

[Snake989]

Aljo could have a hof career. His run at bw is really good and besides the Yan knee not really that many ***
