During the UFC 328 broadcast, it was announced that Chris Weidman and Thomas Gerbasi will join the UFC Hall of Fame.
An accomplished amateur wrestler at Hofstra, Weidman began his MMA career in 2009 and joined UFC in 2011. He quickly rose up the Middleweight ranks and defeated the legendary Anderson Silva for the UFC Middleweight Title at UFC 162 in 2013. He would successfully defend his championship against Lyoto Machida (UFC 175) and Vitor Belfort (UFC 187) before losing the strap to Luke Rockhold at UFC 194.
He retired after a loss to Eryk Anders at UFC 310 in 2024. Weidman left the sport with a 16-8 record.
Thomas Gerbasi, a longtime combat sports writer, passed away last year.
The UFC Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on July 9.
We here at Notinhalloffame would like to congratulate Chris Weidman and Thomas Gerbasi for their impending honor.
