I met Wanderlei at Mohegan Sun Casino about 10 years ago at a Bellator show. Great guy & very humble. Wand is a pioneer, a bezerker in the ring. Wand along with Chuck Lidell & Sakuraba are who made me a fan of mma.

Well deserved! Absolute legend! One of the fighters you never wanted to miss any of his fights. Because you knew someone was going to sleep and he always gave it everything in the octagon! I remember being in high school watching him in Pride and was just amazed at his fighting style. He also had the best stare downs. Congrats Silva! Thank you for the memories!

He looks so satisfied🍀

Wanderlei Silva still looks very fit, he barely aged. I'd like to see him one more fight in the ufc.

Happy for him❤

Prime Wanderlei Silva is about as scary as it gets. The man absolutely earned this award.

Glad he's getting his flowers so many years competing

So happy to see Wanderlei Sliva get into the UFC Hall of Fame! This guy is a LEGEND!! Has many man MUST see fights!!!

what a legend! wanderlei was the definition of full send every time he fought, he always brought it and was so fun to watch

Chutebox Wand in his prime was so fun to watch. Congrats Wanderlei,well deserved.

The legend... Watching him 20 years ago ... nostalgia

Even though there were many ups and downs with the UFC, Wanderlei absolutely deserves to be in there.

He was one of the scariest guys to have ever competed and his nickname the 'Axe Murderer' was one of the coolest nicknames ever!

why is he soo peaceful and humble...

Imagine if Rampage, Krazy Horse, and Sonnen walked by.

He seems like such a chill, happy and kind older gentleman now. Lol. Never would guess he was known as “the axe murderer” in his day.

the best intense face to face staring in the history of MMA.

Congrats Wanderlei, most deserved. !!

I'm happy that Wanderlei is happy! Lets all keep him happy!...Please!

The fighter that got me into mma

Congratulations Wanderlei. We commend you and celebrate your life.

Nothing encapsulates Wandy’s style like when he finished Yuki Kondo. There’s even a moment where Rampage is watching it ringside while commentating and he’s saying “ohh man…”.

Legend, one of the most ruthless

Look at his thumb he has definitely been through come battles. Legend

When MMA was all steroids and toughness, Wand was the man, he was the champ! LEGEND!

happy to see these legends get their flowers

One of the most entertaining fighters in MMA history! Congrats Wanderlei, you deserve it!

The most violent man ever in mma and my favorite fighter of all time a true legend

100% deserved

Well deserved LEGEND 🇧🇷

All time great and legend.

Wayyyyy overdue…he should’ve been a HoFer a long time ago. He’s one of my favorite fighters hands down. Congratulations Sir! 🙌🏾🦾🙏🏾👏🏾

He is in fact very charming and friendly. I only knew him form his fights where he always came across as grumpy and scary.

When these guys had their time! Wanderlei, chuck,rampage. They were king for a minute

I am so happy to see Wanderlei Silva being inducted in the Hall of Fame he is a true legend of the sport, Dana White recently hinted that in a near future another great Brazilian fighter will also be inducted in the Hall of Fame is name is Johnny Walker these two men are warriors and living legends that will never be forgotten.

Cap bro got a whole ad on his shirt 😂

Now this man is a legend.

“I can’t let you too close”

I was really happy for you brother!

U deserve it vandela never backed down from no one

wanderlei should voice big foot aka sasquatch💀

What a beast he was back in the day!

Legend forever

Really hope chael inducts him lol

“You wanna shake the hands?”

You can't let him get close!

Wanderei is my all time favorate fighter, if you havnt seen him fight in pride and UFC i strongly suggest you go watch, this man is the warrior of all warriors, your favorate fighters favorate fighter 🔥

I turned the ppv on just as he got inducted was happy to see.

We the UFC WannanowPosting page members from Facebook are soo proud of your induction to the HOF Hawman

He's so different now, but he was a beast back in the day!

His fight with stann is great.

Axe getting the respect he deserves, one of the most scariest dudes back in the day, when him and Cro cop done that staredown was really the golden era of MMA. Brazilian street brawler v ex commando. Mma was real back then.

Silva was one mean looking man in the cage.

I feel like Wanerlei understood about 10% of what was being said.

A careful analysis concludes that he is quite happy

❤ u Wandy. Tho I can’t let u get too close

LEGEND!! 💯

well deserved his fight with Brian Stann should be in there too in the fight wing. imo
