Dana White: No HOF induction for Wand

Former PRIDE middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva recently retired from the sport of mixed martial arts, this due to apparent grievances he had with both his employer (The UFC) and the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Shortly after announcing his retiremnt, “The Axe Murderer” stated that he would not be interested in receiving a Hall of Fame induction from the UFC.
Well, according to UFC President Dana White, the MMA legend known as Wanderlei Silva doesn’t need to worry about a Hall of Fame induction, because he’s not going to get one:
“There’s going to be no Hall of Fame,” said White in an interview with FOX Sports. “The guy’s been Pete Rose’d. There’s going to be no Hall of Fame offers.”

who really cares about the HOF. the UFC HOF is basically Dana picking names for a website.
every other HOF is lead by a HOF foundation that encompass the world wide sport. the MMA HOF is just a UFC gimick at this point.
As Wand said in the interview, a UFC HOF means nothing to him. his HOF is with the fans, and he will certainly be in that one.
A couple goofball choices on a steroid test at the end of his career isnt going to ruin his legacy just like GSP *winning* or not against Hendricks isnt going to ruin his.
