Donald Cerrone is heading to the UFC Hall of Fame, and couldn’t be happier.
The announcement was made during the UFC on ESPN 43 event at AT&T Center in San Antonio, catching Cerrone (36-17 MMA, 23-14 UFC) by surprise. Cerrone’s wife and kids came out to join him cageside during the announcement, which was an added element to the moment of being added to the 2023 class.
“Throughout my career, everyone says ‘Future Hall of Famer, future Hall of Famer.’ It just like rattles off, you know?” Cerrone told reporters backstage. “It’s just words. It’s not a real thing until it’s a real thing, you know? It’s crazy. Man, I’m taken away and honored, to be honest. I don’t really have words to express. … I had no clue my family was even here, so that was another surprise.”
