UFC Hall of Fame Induction 2016

On Sunday, July 10, one day after the great UFC 200: Cormier vs Jones, the 2016 UFC Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place. The company's president, Dana White, recently confirmed that the legendary fighter Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira will be inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame.

I am very excited to announce Minotauro Nogueira as the first inductee of the 2016 class into the UFC Hall of Fame.

Big Nog is a legend of Mixed Martial Arts and a sports icon.

Nogueira is a true pioneer and we want to celebrate his career with all his fans in July at the UFC Fan Expo.

The Brazilian will join this prestigious group formed by former fighters such as Mark Coleman, Randy Couture, Matt Hughes, Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, and Stephan Bonnar. To consult the complete official list, click here.

It seems that Big Nog will end his impressive career with a record of 34 victories (21 by submission), 10 losses, 1 draw, and 1 no contest. Among his greatest achievements, he was once the UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion and the PRIDE FC Heavyweight Champion.
