Donald Cerrone is inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, joining Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, and Jens Pulver in the 2023 class.
Donald Cerrone has been announced as the latest inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame. During the broadcast of UFC San Antonio, fans were shown a video package of Cerrone’s career highlights. His family then joined him ringside to surprise him with the announcement. “Cowboy” had previously announced his retirement following his submission loss to Jim Miller last July.
Cerrone has had an impressive career, with statistics that speak for themselves. To date, he is tied for second-most wins (23), second-most finishes (16), most post-fight bonus awards (18), third most bouts (38), and most knockdowns (20) in UFC history. He now joins the esteemed company of Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, and Jens Pulver in the 2023 Hall of Fame class.
Fellow fighters and fans have been quick to congratulate Cerrone on his accomplishment. Dustin Poirier, for example, tweeted, “Congratulations Cowboy!!” in response to the announcement.
