Filed under: Featured , News “The Handsome One” (perhaps better known as “El Guapo”) will be enshrined at the 2015 UFC Hall of Fame inductions. UFC President Dana White surprised Bas Rutten , a former UFC heavyweight champion, during Friday’s edition of “Inside MMA” on AXS TV. Rutten is a cohost of the weekly news program. UFC officials recently revamped its company hall of fame and now enshrines members in one of four categories: modern era, pioneer era, contributors and fights. Rutten (28-4-1), a 50-year-old Dutchman who won the UFC title in 1999 and fought just once more in his career (in 2006 at a WFA event), is a member of the pioneer class, which also includes the likes of Royce Gracie, Dan Severn and Chuck Liddell. All those fighters first fought before 1999, with Rutten making his pro debut in 1993.
