Honoring The Greats
Established in 2003, the UFC Hall of Fame celebrates the most influential figures in the history of mixed martial arts. From the pioneers and innovators to the modern era greats whose impact was felt in and out of the Octagon, the hall recognizes those who have played a pivotal role in building the fastest growing sport in the world.
Separated into four distinct wings that allow recognition for the greatest fighters from the pioneer and modern eras, the most memorable fights, and those whose contributions outside the Octagon put the UFC on the global map, the UFC Hall of Fame is the first stop for those who want to learn and celebrate everything about the DNA of UFC and mixed martial arts.
