Daniel Cormier is headed into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer.
The former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame’s ‘Modern Wing’ as a member of the class of 2022. The 2022 UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled to take place on June 30 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“Daniel Cormier is one of the most badass competitors of all time,” UFC president Dana White said in a statement. “DC faced the greatest athletes in the world on every level of wrestling and MMA. He is also the ultimate professional. As an active fighter, he always took time for the media, which led him to become one of the best TV analysts in all of sports. DC is one of the greatest ambassadors UFC has ever had, and it’s going to be an honor to induct him into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer.”
