Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held its 2024 Hall of Fame induction ceremony last night (Thurs., June 27, 2024) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, the same venue that hosts this weekend’s UFC 303: “Pereira vs. Prochazka 2” pay-per-view (PPV) card.
Among the inductees was former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar, along with ex-strawweight titleholder Joanna Jedrzejczyk. The promotion recently released a video highlight package showcasing all the best moments from this year’s festivities.
“The people that have been in the Hall of Fame are the who’s who of this sport, and just to be mentioned among these people is … I guess it never was my mission to set out to be a Hall of Famer,” Edgar told UFC.com. “I just wanted to do this. I enjoyed it. Once I got into it, I knew I wanted to be a champion and I wanted to always win. And those accolades usually lead to the Hall of Fame. So I guess mission accomplished.”
