Who’s The Next UFC Hall Of Fame Inductee?

If you are at all interested in Ultimate Fighting, you might have also asked yourself the same question:

Who’s the next the UFC Hall Of Fame Inductee?

Let’s see who’s in there so far:

  • Dan “The Beast” Severn
  • Mark “The Hammer” Coleman
  • Ken “The World’s Most Dangerous Man” Shamrock
  • Randy “The Natural” Couture
  • Royce Gracie
  • Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell
  • Chris “Mask” Lewis, co-founder of TapouT

    Now, that’s one heck of an impressive line-up of individuals who have competed at the highest level and in the case of Chris Lewis* who promoted UFC at the highest level.

    I’m thinking maybe Matt “The Country Boy” Hughes.

    Or maybe even Pat "The Croatian Sensation" Miletich,

    Tito “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” Ortiz

    Anybody else?

    I’ll be sitting here in front of my computer waiting for your suggestions.

    *Chris unfortunately died in a car crash last March. May he rest in peace.

    Saturday, October 17th, 2009 UFC Hall Of Fame No Comments
  • Veteran Ultimate Fighting Superstars Matt Hughes & Tito Ortiz Return To The Octagon

    Two of the most successful UFC veterans are putting on their 5 oz. gloves again.

    And I gotta be honest when I tell you that I am actually excited to hear that Matt Hughes
    and Tito Ortiz both came to an agreement with UFC President, Dana White, to fight in
    The Octagon.

    Of course, you know they won’t fight against each other in the same division.

    Matt “Country Boy” Hughes will again fight as a Welterweight.

    Just like he did as the UFC World Champion several years ago with a most impressive
    body-slamming professional record of 43-7.

    Matt will end up again in the same division as George St. Pierre (GSP who is now
    considered by many one of the Top 4 PFP fighters in the world) as well as Thiago
    Alves and Jon Fitch.

    Tito Ortiz aka The Bad Boy from Huntington Beach on the other hand used
    to be, together with Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell, long reigning World Champ,
    who could get the crowds really psyched about Ultimate Fighting Championships.

    Basically, when it comes to Tito Ortiz: You either love him or you hate him.

    He’s colorful, outspoken and controversial to say the least.

    Tito is expected to compete in the Rock Star Division also known as Light
    Heavyweight, loaded with extremely skillful modern day gladiators such as
    Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (Is he really retiring?),
    Forrest Griffin, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, and Mark Coleman (Tito’s first opponent in 2009)
    just to name a few.

    Let there be no doubt:

    Both, Matt Hughes and Tito Ortiz are still two very formidable mixed martial artists
    with name recognition.

    The question is:

    Can they still compete at the level it takes to put on the belt of a current
    UFC World Champion when the dust settles in The Octagon?

    What Dana White totally gets:

    These two extraordinary fighters still want to and are capable to effectively
    trade kicks and punches and grapple with the best in the world.

    They will draw crowds and increase ratings for Dana White’s UFC organization.

    So, instead of watching them fight for UFC’s competitors, why not just get
    them into The Octagon instead, right?

    Tell me what you think about Veteran UFC Superstars Matt Hughes & Tito Ortiz
    returning to the Octagon for the UFC.
