Dana White believes combat sports icon Wanderlei Silva has earned his spot in the UFC Hall of Fame.
During the UFC 298 broadcast on Saturday night, ‘The Axe Murderer’ was announced as the next inductee into the 2024 Hall of Fame class. Speaking with the media during his appearance at a post-fight press event, White was adamant that Silva’s contributions to the sport, particularly in its infancy, more than warrant his HoF induction.
“He deserves to be. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame,” White said of Silva.
