Those other guys in HOF in other sports had direct impact on the games such as coaches, refs, or even announcers. But you dont see sponsors of a separate company.
I am all for refs like mccarthy, or coaches like jackson or delegrotte to be in, and even guys like stitch (the cut guy), and dana himself, but they can be seen in every show and they each have a direct role and serve a purpose where the show coulnt go on without them.
Tapout helped advertise for the sport, and that brought popularity to the ufc, but nike and gatorade help advertise for the 4 major sports and you dont see their creators in any HOFs.
HOFs are always political in any sport so people are going to get in who shouldnt and people who should wont, but theres the problem with mask and tap out. Where will this end? Does the warrior international founder belong there?
