Nine-time UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes today was named the eighth and latest UFC Hall of Fame inductee.

After a brief presentation on his achievements, 36-year-old Hughes met UFC president Dana White on UFC Fan Expo 2010′s main stage at the Mandalay Bay Convetion Center to receive the commemorative award. He thanked fans for their support.

“To be honest, it’s you guys that pay that admission that write my check, so I’ve got to take my hat off to you guys,” Hughes (44-7 MMA, 17-5 UFC) said.

Well the man did his damn thing with the promotion so it comes as no surprise that they inducted him into the Hall of Fame. I’d just like to see some more of the un-sung heros get inducted like Don Frye, Pedro Rizzo, and the rest of the old school guys!
