5. Frank Shamrock Hall of Fame Snub
Many people feel that Dana White is preventing Frank Shamrock from going in the UFC Hall of Fame out of a personal grudge. White will be quick to point out that there is nobody on the planet he has a bigger personal grudge with than Tito Ortiz, and Tito Ortiz is in the UFC Hall of Fame.
Shamrock was the first ever UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, and successfully defended that title on 4 occasions, including 1999’s match of the year against Tito Ortiz at UFC 22. That still isn’t good enough to get him into the pioneer wing of the UFC Hall of Fame however, not according to Dana White.
White claims that Frank Shamrock, who has spoken poorly of White and the UFC to the media, has never done anything to further the sport and that’s why he’s not in the hall of fame.
