ANAHEIM, Calif. – Wanderlei Silva expressed gratitude toward Dana White for his addition to the UFC Hall of Fame.
Former PRIDE FC champion and 12-fight UFC veteran Silva (35-14-1) was announced for the pioneer wing of the 2024 UFC Hall of Fame class during Saturday’s UFC 298 broadcast.
The announcement came as a surprise after White said 10 years ago that Silva had been “Pete Rose’d” and would never be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. But not only did the UFC CEO change his tune, he forgot that he ever made those comments.
