MIAMI – Legendary former champion [autotag]Anderson Silva[/autotag] will get his spot in the UFC Hall of Fame, an obviously deserving accolade to many, including fellow legends of the game.
The UFC announced last month that arguably its greatest champion will be inducted as part of the class of 2023. The induction ceremony will take place in July during International Fight Week.
And with the news of Silva’s induction, a lot of praise and appreciation has come the Brazilian’s way for the heights he reached in the sport as the most dominant UFC middleweight champion of all time and one of MMA’s biggest stars.
Last Thursday during a UFC Q&A in Miami ahead of UFC 287, MMA Junkie asked Georges St-Pierre, former opponents Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort, and Lyoto Machida their thoughts on Silva’s induction into the UFC Hall of Fame.
Below is what they had to say.
