Not only that but almost every nominee will be UFC picks. It's annoying how they claim to cover MMA and give MMA Awards but it's mostly nothing but UFC. By the way, expect either Andrei Arlovski/Travis Browne and Daniel Cormier/Alexander Gustafsson.

^I know, it is ridiculous how the MMA/UFC awards work. Same shit every year where nearly all the nominees and winners are from UFC. More BS control over the industry. Some of the best fights, fighters, subs, KOs,...., are left out each year from MMA all over the world so they can put on the UFC award show. Ridiculous, just like the UFC HOF is ridiculous without Frank Shamrock.

AA/Brown does also deserve a spot but so do many other fights like this from around the world of MMA.

Not just Shamrock but you can throw many others like Don Frye in but their too busy putting Stephan Bonnar in because of one fight or they're now inducting fights like Matt Hughes vs. Frank Trigg.

Agreed.  Great point.  

Miletich was left out of the UFC Hall of Fame a while as was Bas Rutten until AXS TV (their employer) became a Zuffa media puppet.  I mentioned Shamrock as the most obvious example.  Even on the UFC top 100 fights show, Shamrock is no where to be found as if he doesn't exist.  Same with other fighters.  When Randy left UFC to pursue the Fedor fight, they would not even show him in the corner coaching his fighters during live events.  There are many examples like this.

I love Bas and he def deserves to be in an MMA HOF, but a UFC specific one? I mean only fought there twice.

I always liked Bas as well.  He deserves the HOF. I don't like how he turned a bit in his take on Fedor, Bellator Dynamite, RIZIN,... though.
