Hall of Fame consists of fighters that have officially retired. Dan Severn, Maurice Smith, B.J. Penn, etc. are still active, thus they are not listed below. If a fighter comes out of retirement, they will be removed from this list and eventually nominated for the final year of competition. Each year’s nominees of retiring Hall of Fame fighters are listed below. Their official MMA debut year is also identified by their name.
