    Ronda has been inducted to the UFC hall of fame according to some site, does she deserve to be inducted into the HOF?

    :lol:
    IMO she deserved it though yeah. Has a few good names on her record and done a lot for women's MMA.
    Nunes will surely be the second female in the HOF.

    Yeah, sort of like Royce and Ken Shamrock both deserved to be inducted.

    Ronda's legacy looks pretty tame in retrospect, compared the the hyperbole that surrounded her reign, but there's no denying her significance and the fact that she was incredibly dominant from like 2012/2013 until the loss to Holly. That's actually a pretty long time to be on top.

    Also, people love to talk about how her opponents were all trash; basically beating up strippers and soccer moms until Holly punted her in the face. But that doesn't really make a lot of sense: Alexis Davis is still a Top 10 contender, Liz Karmouche just fought for the title again, Sara McMann was a top contender for several more years, and Meisha was good enough to strangle Holm. Not a great crop of challengers, but not as dismal as the haters claim.

    I can’t understand how Jens Pullver or Tank Abbott aren’t in. Say what you will about tanks record and ability but he got a **** ton of people to watch back when nobody was watching

    She fought good grapplers up until the Holm match but not good strikers.
