What UFC Fights Deserve to be in the HOF?

[Philo-Publius]

With Mark Coleman vs. Pete Williams being inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, what other UFC fights to you feel deserve to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame?

My first pick is Diego Sanchez vs. Karo Parisyan. It was an epic back and forth battle with an outstanding display of Judo fused with modern MMA by Parisyan.

 

[cungfu]

Shields vs GSP - outstanding display of boxing

 

[BC]

Hendo vs Shogun 1

If WEC, Pride, and Strikeforce fights can be added along with UFC fights then:

Clay Guida vs. Diego Sanchez
Dan Hendo vs. Shogun Rua I
Frye vs. Takayama
Silva vs. Sonnen I
Henderson vs. Pettis I
Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley

 

[Goodfella86]

Frank vs. Tito was the best fight in history (considering everything) for a long time.

If WEC, Pride, and Strikeforce fights can be added along with UFC fights then:

Clay Guida vs. Diego Sanchez
Dan Hendo vs. Shogun Rua I
Frye vs. Takayama
Silva vs. Sonnen I
Henderson vs. Pettis I
Nick Diaz vs. Paul Daley

I think fights from any Zuffa owned product is fair game.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Hunto vs Bigfoot

 

[K1 Hughes]

 

[BC BUDS DA BEST]

wandy vs chuck, wandy vs jardine, wandy vs stann, wandy vs cung

 

[Death By Samson]

Lawler vs Rory Mac II

 

[007]

Griffin vs Bonnar

Seriously... Do they actually have specific fights in there ? I don't know a single thing about the Zuffa Hall of Fame.

But I know the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame doesn't have specific concerts inducted. ... Well to cover my narrow ass. It is possible Woodstock could be in there. But I've been there many times and never seen that shit.

Fuck that shit though. I have tix for Deserttrip.

The greatest spectacle in the history of Rock and Roll.

For those who remember the old UFC's, I think Royce Gracie vs. Dan Severn is deserving as well. Dan Severn flattened his other opponents that night and looked like a bad match up for Royce. He muscled Royce most of the fight before the inevitable.

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Hendo vs Shogun 1
Liddell vs Wand
Robbie vs Rory 2
Edgar vs Maynard 2 & 3
Bonnar vs Griffin

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Shields vs GSP - outstanding display of boxing

That was probably the worst exciting fight ever.

 

[Philo-Publius]

Griffin vs Bonnar

That one is already in there. I believe it was the first fight inducted into the UFC hall of fame.

[JohnWick]

Bigfoot/Hunt 1
Lawler/Macdonald 2
Hendo/Rua 1
Rizzo/Barnett 1

It makes sense when you think about it. The individual career of a fighter (e.g., Pete Williams) may not be deserving of a HOF induction, but a single fight that fighter participated in might have a performance worthy of induction.

There aren't many who could disagree with Robbie vs. Rory II being there, as well as Chan Sung Jung vs. Leonard Garcia (a big fight that drew attention to the smaller weight classes at the time) and Henderson vs. Shogun I. All amazing, fight-of-the-year winners.
