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.
I agree with you on the HOF, but how does GSP's win over Hendricks tarnish his career? Especially at the level of BJ or Wanderlei? If you don't like the ruling, blame the judges, not GSP.

Also he didn't take a leave of absence to duck the rematch. I'm not sure if the full story will come out, but to him it was enough reason to semi retire... I don't think it was, and neither does Dana... But he'll be back eventually. Maybe not as a top competitor anymore (his legs are pretty shot) but he's still a star.

The idea that a controversial win (and if you go by the 10-9 ruling, it's not even that controversial) can tarnish a legacy of being literally one of the best fighters to ever exist... I don't get it
