Would they ever induct Wanderlei into the UFC if he (hypothetically of course) lost to Bisping and got the axe? (no pun intended) I'm asking because he hasn't been successful in the ufc but he was a legend in pride and it would be a shame that in 20+ years people don't remember him due to the fact of pride being gone for that long. What do you think?

I have been wondering this myself lately I don't think they would but at the same time I think it would be foolish not to wand is one of if not the biggest thing to ever happen to mma it would be a shame to not see him get some kind of recognition

Zuffa now owns Pride so I could see them Adding Wandy at some point just out of repect for the star power his name holds. That same star power and Draw that Wandy brings will keep him in the UFC for quite sometime win or lose.

I would be deeply disappointed if Wandy wasnt inducted. I think Zuffa will induct him especially after having specials on spike like Best of Pride (or what ever it was called).

And lets be honest here if Wandy does somehow lose to Bisping, Zuffa will not cut him over that.

I don't know if Zuffa will ever cut him. Wand draws, he's so fun to watch, I don't think I've ever missed one.

I would expect him to be inducted. Altough his fights in the ufc maybe aren't hall worthy, but u can't ignore pride. And since zuffa owns pride it needs to happen, after he retires of course.

What is the UFC Hall of Fame??? Where is it and anyone know how much is it to get in? Since they only have 7 guys inducted is it worth the trip?

I don't think he'll get in because he hasn't had much success in the UFC.

Not sure about this one. I mean it boils down to how he finishes his career. Right now he is on a 2 fight losing streak and is 1-5 in his last six. He kinda gets a pass seeing as all the losses were to former champions..and then the destruction of Jardine. I hold Wandy in the highest respect as a fighter. Not sure he'll make the UFC hall though!
