Did Chuck retire? I think it's utterly retarded to induct anyone into the HOF before they retire.

And Mask, I doubt would have been inducted if he was still alive. Why is he all of a sudden inducted because he died? And why weren't punkass and skrape inducted with him?

Who even decides who gets inducted? Are there actually any votes for these guys or is Dana just out for some publicity? Seems like Dana just does whatever the hell he feels like. I think arbitrary inductions could cause problems for him in the future.

Well maybe its Dana's way to let Chuck know it is time to hang the gloves up. Mask was a big part of MMA...his death was tragic and one of the ways to show respect to the man is to induct him in to the UFC HOF. The man gave his all to that sport. I say RIP Mask you deserve this honor.

I disagree. This guy did a lot for MMA behind the scenes especially in its "formative" years. He also provided a way for lesser known fighters to become better known.

He was one of the best back in the day...he won the tournament and won a super fight. he may suck now but he has some accomplishments. I think he sucks arse, but deserves to be there.

They were not founders of the company, nor were they nearly as influential in mma. They were just part of the crew.

dan severen and i think he had a draw with Royce too....both were at the top of the food chain at the time. hell i even want to say he beat Kimo as well. This was when it was fighting style vs. fighting style. MMA left him in the dust, but like i said he has accomplished some things. Wasnt he the 1st ever heavweight champ too?

No, but he claims he was.

He won the first Superfight against Severn which in Shamrock's world equals HW champ. There was no HW title at the time.
