Whether he is in the HoF or not, I take issue with calling him a coward. He had a portion of his guts ripped out, from a highly debilitating disease, and still got back into the octagon to face one of the best heavyweights going today.

He didn't leave because he was scared. He just realized that after his ordeal with the disease, he could never be what he was, so he humbly bowed out. Most people wouldn't have even showed up for the Overeem fight.
