The UFC names Wanderlei Silva to their Hall of Fame
Last night at UFC 298, it was announced that Wanderlei Silva will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame as part of the Pioneer Wing.
From Brazil, Silva holds the record for the most wins, title defenses and knockouts in the history of Pride, where he was a Middleweight Champion. Silva had wars against Kazushi Sakuraba, Quinton Jackson, Vitor Belfort, Chuck Lidell, Michael Bisping and Tito Ortiz and left the sport with an overall record of 35-14-1-1.
He becomes the 19th inductee to the Pioneer Wing.
Silva will be joining Frankie Edgar, who was selected last month via the Modern Wing.
