LAS VEGAS -- The UFC Hall of Fame gained four new inductees on Saturday. Seminal figures B.J. Penn, Bas Rutten, and Jeff Blatnick, along with the classic 2005 fight between Matt Hughes and Frank Trigg, were honored at a lively ceremony in front of a packed house at the UFC Fan Expo. The quartet entered the Hall of Fame in the Modern Era wing, the Pioneer wing, the Contributor wing, and the Fight wing, respectively.
The highlight of the day was Penn (16-10-2), a beloved figure who remains the most decorated and dominant UFC lightweight champion of all-time, and one of the only two-division champions in UFC history alongside Randy Couture.
