The unlikely story of Joe Silva, an arcade worker who watched early UFC events and made a cold phone call, which led to him becoming one of the most influential people in building a worldwide sport, will have a fitting next and possibly last chapter.
Silva was announced during UFC 211 as the latest inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame as a contributor.
Silva will be honored on July 6 in Las Vegas, along with Urijah Faber and Maurice Smith. Still to be announced is a fight that will be inducted.
