Don Frye is due.
Paul "The Polar Bear" Varalens would have been another shoe in had he won some more UFC fights. His IFC career was much better. Take a look at his fight with Igor:

I think it should be after they are retired or at least semi-retired and out of the org.
Don Frye comes to mind, as does Big John. But they have made some anti-UFC comments so it's not likely.
It's too bad he'll never get considered, but Tito should be considered. 22 UFC fights, from UFC 13 to UFC 84. Most successful title defenses in a row of all the UFC champs. Headlined the UFC's best PPV (Liddell/Ortiz II) and UFN (Tito / Ken III)
I don't like Tito, but he deserves it

What makes you think Tito wouldn't be considered? The fact that Dana doesn't like him isn't going to prevent him from making the Hall of Fame. He was one of the most dominant champions ever and one of the most popular fighters ever. He was probably a bigger asset to the growth of the UFC between the time that the fertitas bought the company until Chuck took the belt than any other fighter in the organization. Tito-Shamrock 3 was the most watched UFC event ever when it aired.
No chance Tito doesn't make the Hall of Fame. People just rarely get inducted until quite a while after they retire. Absolutely no chance he doesn't make it.
-EDIT-
Johnny napalm, please edit your link, it's screwing up the template for the forum and making posts ten miles of horizontal text. Just write something in the "text for the link to be displayed as" field in the insert weblink function.

I'll say Tanner will be next mainly because active fighters don't get inducted. He's definitely next IMO. Later on though I'd like to see Pulver, Hughes, Penn.
