The UFC Hall of Fame is a hall of fame which honors a notable list of mixed martial artists and personalities who have had an overall influence on the sport of MMA throughout the years. The UFC Hall of Fame mostly recognizes fighters who have established themselves as notable personalities for the promotion. However, in addition to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the UFC Hall of Fame also acknowledges fighters who have competed for various promotions such as Pride Fighting Championships, World Extreme Cagefighting, and Strikeforce, considering that all the three promotions have been bought by the UFC.

The UFC Hall of Fame was initially established in Las Vegas on November 21, 2003, at the UFC 45 pay-per-view and the first inductees to the UFC Hall of Fame were UFC Originals Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock.
