    Why isnt A. Silva in the UFC hall of fame yet?
    He has the most consecutive title defenses in the history of the ufc and he has the most consecutive wins in the ufc and almost all of his fight where won by pure dominance.
    He moved up to LHW and taken fights there as well as won them even though his record might not be the best in the sport but he has some legit wins in there as Vitor Belfor, Dan Henderson, Rich Franklin, Chael Sonnen and Chris Leben.

    It's stupid that Anderson isn't HOF yet. He's probably the greatest UFC fighter ever, all things considered. GSP has maybe beaten better fighters altogether, but Anderson's dominance and longevity are unparalleled, and in the 06-08 time period he was so far ahead of the competition it was silly.

    lol at the third picture. Oh Anderson, what were you thinking.

    He'll go in when it's time for him to retire, obviously. He just doesn't have that "veteran" element Couture, Hughes and Liddell do.

    Well putting an already unmotivated at times Champ in the HoF wont help in that regard

    And besides that, does it really matter. He's still fighting ffs. The only precedent for a HoF to be inducted whilst still active in the UFC is Matt Hughes and he was talking about retiring at the time.

    I may be wrong but wasnt Chuck retired when he got in?

    He needs to get knocked out 3-4 times in a row first.

    It's not the age thing, it's the unbeatable still uphill thing, like GSP (though he's in his prime)

    The others were inducted when it was obvious their time was over.

    Spider's amazing, especially considering his age, it will be interesting to see wether he goes to LHW. He has the top spot all time at 185 cemented
