Why is Matt Serra in the UFC Hall of Fame?

[ripsta619]

Because he beat the GOAT and turned him into a wrestler. (I'm a GSP hater)
The real reason is every Champion gets in. One day Sterling will be immortalized in the HOF too.

First champion to win a belt off of a DQ?

 

[Shaddows]

He wasn’t that good

dude, there's a fucking t-shirt manufacturer in the UFC HoF... you don't even need to be a fighter to get in!!!
Besides, he beat GSP... and is a good friend with Dana, which is the main factor why they get into the HoF (the latter, of course)

Im buggin about Aljo. I don't even think he's allowed to go. Probably pretend to hurt himself and then sue if they don't uild him a statue.

For looking like a thumb

 

[JohnnyDragon]

Look at who's in their hall of fame. It's a list of journeymen. As long as you're semi-decent and have a long career, you'll get into the UFC hall of fame.

I can’t take HOF seriously until Frank Shamrock gets inducted.

 

[Dao]

Well, he did ko GSP. we can't dismissed his win on a court of law.

[nostradumbass]

TUF winner, became champ by finishing GSP, silver medal adcc, coached champs in 2 other divisions.

 

[StewDogg11]

Well he won TUF and the UFC title but regardless the UFC Hall of Fame isn’t even a real thing so whatever.

 

[daemusvladornu]

God damn casuals... not only was he a good fighter in his own right. He won the title, had probably the biggest upset in a title fight other than Holm VS Rousey. And is actually a REALLY solid coach. He's done a lot for the sport even if he didn't have 30 fights. I have no issues with him being in the HoF

 

[iwantgsp]

Serra is much more deserving than Bisping - but yeah Bisping did accomplish some big things, but outside of that like 1-2 years, he really was average at very best.

Doesnt make any difference imo

 

[Billthebutcher]

All ufc champs get into the hof, eventually.

 

[Titan1980]

First American born to receive a Gracie black belt. First person to get ko'd by a spinning back fist in the UFC. Won TUF. WW Champion. First TUF winner to win a belt.

 

[chardog]

former champ
top level for some time

 

[AleYeah]

Hall of FAME... he made a good name for himself based on the accomplishments others have already mentioned.

Shit, Koko B. Ware is in the WWE HOF. There's something to debate.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Knocked out GSP

He’s Dana’s pal..

 

[ocfightfan]

UFC Hall Of Fame is illegitimate and Dana plays favorites like always

To be fair all halls of fame are money making schemes.

 

[savemgs]

UFC Hall Of Fame is illegitimate and Dana plays favorites like always

How is it illegitimate?
It's a Hall of Fame of a company not the sport of mixed martial arts.

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Bcuz he was a midget bloated 155lb BJJ guy who made the WW GOAT and champ tap to strikes in under 1 round...
