UFC president Dana White has said two former champions will likely get a call, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz and multi-weight class champ B.J. Penn.

However, five-time UFC champion Randy Couture makes the case for Brock Lesnar’s inclusion in the UFC Hall of Fame.

“I think he definitely should be,” said Couture. “Anybody who’s been in there and won the title, whether it be four fights or six fight or whatever. I think he made a huge impact in our sport. I think he brought that whole WWE crowd, too. We saw that in the pay-per-view numbers that he put up, every time he fought.

“I think it’s justified. I think he definitely should be included in the Hall of Fame.”
