I like the addition of Chuck on both your lists. He really started the idea.. that wrestlers could be turned into great strikers. He had some of the best TDD in the game, and because of it he was a particularly frightening opponent.

Chuck is a no-brainer for the MMA Hall of Fame.
He's one of the dozen or so, that should be a unanimous selection.
