Is DC a lock for the Hall of Fame?

What the title says.

what hall of fame?

If you mean the UFC, he hasn't done enough for that yet. If he somehow beats Jones then moves up and wins the HW belt, you can bump the thread.

The guy above doesn't know what he's talking about. DC will def be in the HOF . he's the current LHW champ and the strikeforce GP champ. He has fought top competition in HW and LHW . I'm not even a DC fan like that but even I see that .

no.

I think DC is one of the top 6 or 7 best fighters of all time. He's the only fighter that I've seen dominate in the Heavies as well as Light heavies.

I don't think Bones Jones nor any other LH would share the same success in the heavies.

So I say yes to UFC HOF.

Too bad it's not a MMA Hall of Fame, in general.

UFC HOF? No

Specially not after JBJ beats him again Phone Post 3.0

Super Saiyan God Vegeta - UFC HOF? No

Why not ? Bas Rutten lost 2x to Ken shamrock .Won the UFC beltbin a highly controversial decision. And he's in the hall of fame . DC ripped through 2 divisions and beat the same opponent that jbj did but worse .

I'm hoping the UFC holds the current era to a higher standard than the formative years when it comes to HOF.

he didn't beat the champ for his belt and we're not talking about the Strikeforce HOF.

He could definitely earn it, but if he's a lock as of now, so are dozens of other guys.

Big JBJ fan.

But DC is one hell of an athlete and fighter. His only loss being a fight with Jones. And fighting both LHW and HW? Damn son. One of the baddest for sure. Phone Post 3.0

Bro what are you talking about . UFC HOF is basicly the Zuffa HOF . You think Saku can gey into the HOF off of 2 fights in the UFC lol one that he lost at that lol . come now, we all know it was his Pride credentials that got him into the UFC HOF . So you can't give me that we aren't talking Strikeforce Bs.

Bas Rutten had a long post-career as a commentator, sports analyst, occasional actor, and he even did PSAs for Nickelodeon for exercise breaks. He had a huge cult following and had crossover fans that weren't even into MMA because of the YouTube video that was a highlight reel of his self-defense video (he credits the YouTube vid for getting all his acting gigs). What I'm saying is he left the UFC in 1997 and didn't get into the Hall of Fame until 2015. He didn't get in there on his fighting career alone.

If DC got injured and left the sport tomorrow, I'm not sure he's done quite enough, and I don't think being Champion is quite enough either, not when we have 10 of them at a time, not when you're not an established draw on your own. There are lots of UFC world champions who aren't likely to end up in there (and also some dudes who haven't held a UFC belt like Hendo who are pretty much locks).

That being said if DC beats Jones, then eventually, he'll probably be in there. If he doesn't win but stays in the sport awhile, particularly if he has a long broadcasting career, I think he'll be in there. The dude is so underrated when it comes to his mic skills it's not even funny. He follows the Chael Sonnen playbook on that only he's so subtle that most people don't even realize it. Phone Post 3.0

DC a lock to make the HOF?

He is a star of the UFC, yes he will be in the hall of fame. He does UFC tonight and a bunch of other stuff for them too so I see him always being on their good side. Although I don't see DC winning or really competing too much longer in the UFC. Phone Post 3.0

I say no unless he beats Jones and goes on to some more big wins. He got into mma late and don't think he has enough time to reach hof status.

FUCK NO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Phone Post 3.0

No. Standards have improved Phone Post 3.0

Not until he reaches Stephan Bonnar level.

Look at who is already in it and see if DC's career/impact is on the same level.
