UFC and Pride Fighting Championships veteran Mark Kerr will be enshrined in the UFC Hall of Fame this summer.
Kerr will be 21st entrant into the “Pioneer Wing,” which honors athletes who turned professional before November 17, 2000, which was when the unified rules of MMA were adopted. Fighters must be at least 35 years old or retired for a year or more to be eligible for the “Pioneer Wing.”
Kerr won one-night heavyweight tournaments at UFC 14 and UFC 15, making him one of just five athletes to win multiple tournaments within the promotion.
