If the Hall of Fame as a smoking section, yes he should be included.
So, slightly more than half of fans think Diaz won? According to that, 50.6% of respondents gave Diaz the fight either 48-47 or 49-46. I don't think that was as telling as you thought it was.

Not only that, but the graph is apparently missing some votes. Those percentages only account for 92.5%. For all we know the other 7.5% are in favor of Condit 48-47, which would make the figures much closer.
And Jeremy Horn beat Chuck Liddell once. Does that mean he should be in the UFC HOF too? Just like Horn, Nick beat Robbie a long, long, LONG time before Robbie won the belt.
How did he retire BJ when BJ came back and fought two more times after Diaz lol
By the time Nick fought Frank, Frank was 37 years old and hadn't fought in over a year.
Daley wasn't the "#2 or #1 welterweight contender". Daley was barely ranked in the top ten when Diaz fought him, for that matter Nick was barely ranked in the top ten at the time.
I won't deny that Nick is an incredible athlete in this sport, and has always been a tough fight for almost anyone.
Considering the UFC Hall of Fame is effectively a joke to begin with, sure why not.
Look at the pie-graph summary on the bottom. Its 55% to 41 (guess there were others scores that weren't as popular that were not displayed in the table). The point that I was making was that it was a close fight and the majority of fight fans had it for Diaz by a margin of about what....14%.... Which counters the Diaz bashers who try to down play the man's success in the octagon/make it seem like Condit ran away with that fight or was a superiorly better fighter that night against Diaz.
Again, The summary at the bottom accounts for the missing votes (like people who may have scored all the rounds for Diaz or all the rounds for Condit ... The initial percentages, are the most popular scores~http://www.mmadecisions.com/
^ Live it, learn it, love it...
Daley had just fought Koscheck for the title shot and TUF coach job. Remember? So yeah, he was the #1 or #2 contender at the time. He just got booted from the UFC for that late punch on Kos. And Nick ko'd his ass in 1 round son. Fought him at his own game too.
No. But I don't think it should be as easy as it is to get in.
MMA Hall of Fame for sure.
If your point is/was that the fight was close, of course you're right. Your post with the graph referred to the three judges as "incompetent" and noted that the fans knew "what's up." That implied, to me, that you thought Diaz obviously won and that anyone who disagreed with you was "incompetent." If that was not your point, than I apologize.
That's fair.
This is also fair. We really do need an impartial HOF for the sport.
There is a poll thread right now about which guy would win that fight today. Most sherdoggers think Nick would win that fight again if it happened now. And I am one of them. Robbie has gotten better but so has Nick.
Because BJ literally retired right after he faced Nick. Some of us remember that. Yeah he came back, but he retired after Nick. That's what fighting Nick Diaz does to legends. It makes them think they don't want to do this shit anymore. And that should tell you something.
Always an excuse with you Diaz haters, huh. You'll say the same thing if he beats Anderson, too. I know you will.

I think its stupid if they don't add some fighters that are HOF material that were not champions, I mean look at the NFL HOF, They have many players that weren't champions. Dan Marino main example. a HOF should include top quality fighters and not just champions.
