No doubt, his legendary career would make him a first ballot Hall of Fame candidate. He met the who’s who of the sport in the middle of the cage, delivered round after round of heart-racing action, and could cut a promo that drew audiences around the world like trout to a lure.

Regardless of the chosen acronym, there will never be anyone as epic as him.
