Daily debate: Is 'Cowboy' Cerrone a lock to be a future UFC Hall of Famer?


He’s now tied with Georges St-Pierre and Michael Bisping for the most wins in UFC history, and there’s a good chance he’ll eventually hold the record outright.

But does that alone make Donald Cerrone a future UFC Hall of Famer, even if he never goes on to win a UFC title? That was the crux of the question we asked in MMAjunkie Radio’s new Daily Debate feature.

We polled MMAjunkie readers and MMAjunkie Radio listeners to find out what they think about “Cowboy” Cerrone (33-10 MMA, 20-7 UFC), who on Sunday stopped Yancy Medeiros (15-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) with a first-round TKO in UFC Fight Night 126' main event. The victory snapped an uncharacteristic skid for Cerrone that had reached three fights – the only time he’s had consecutive losses in his career.

But should records like most UFC wins and most UFC finishes (he tied that mark, as well), along with his reputation for fighting often and against anyone, be enough to get him into the UFC’s Hall of Fame some day? Or does he need to win a belt, too?

The voters weighed in, and it really isn’t even close. More than 90 percent think “Cowboy” ought to make his way to the UFC Hall of Fame after he decides to hang up the gloves one day down the road (via Twitter):
