LAS VEGAS – Six weeks after Dana White first announced his intentions , the UFC president has now officially inducted retired light heavyweights Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar into the UFC Hall of Fame. White and longtime executive producer of “The Ultimate Fighter” Craig Piligian today made the pair’s enshrinement official at a ceremony that took place at the promotion’s UFC Fan Expo Las Vegas 2013 inside Sin City’s Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Griffin and Bonnar were the light-heavyweight finalists on Season 1 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” During the live finale, the two engaged in one of the most memorable slugfests in MMA history, with Griffin coming out ahead with a 29-28 unanimous-decision win. That fight is largely credited with fueling the UFC’s meteoric rise in popularity around the globe, and White has long praised both fighters for their contributions to the company.
