*Poll requested

 

[billharford]

borderline, but he's such a cool dude I would say yes

 

[ThEiCeMaN6791]

All the inaugural champions probably should be.

 

[sirmorbach]

That would be fair and deserved. But then again, the UFC Hall of Fame doesn't really mean much. Whatever.

 

[The ScorpioN]

I liked his fight vs Gomi, beautiful starching.

 

[Dogo1]

I gotta say no, fun fighter, good guy, just not good enough.

 

[Elvis.]

Yes , first ufc lw champion, pioneered the lighter weight classes & fought so my monsters many of whom outweighed him

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Short answer- Yes
Long answer- Yeeeeesssss

WAR PULVER!!!

If the Hall of Fame actually had some sort of criteria then he probably wouldn't pass it.

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

I guess so, he was the original Lightweight.

Pity his career went down so quickly, but still - he deserves his credit.

 

[billharford]

Would love to see the Little Eagle soar into the hall

 

[Sid Arthur]

Absolutely

 

[copyandpasteguy]

No and I love Jens and basically anything that is Miletich Fighting System.

 

[TeamSpaceMonkey]

Fuck yeah. They have a pioneer wing or whatever. He definitely deserves to be there.

 

[Donny White]

Yeah, he was the first 55er who was well-known and dominant. Gotta get him in there. He's a legend.

 

[Davey Crockett]

One of the first events I really got hyped for ended in him getting starched by Lauzon. I remember them saying he never had a chance.. became a fan for life after that. Both great fighters.

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

Yes, I think he should. I think the world of the guy so I'm biased.

 

[loisestrad]

Literally no one knows him, and he isn't famous. So obviously no.

 

[blewgums]

I'm not sure. And I feel very strongly about that.

It's why I posted, my ambivalence is overwhelming.

 

[blewgums]

Literally no one knows him, and he isn't famous. So obviously no.

Well I'm pretty sure he's the guy that does those Shamwow commercials,

So yeah, he is famous.
