Bisping himself is a member of the exclusive club, as the former middleweight champion was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame back in 2017. 2023 saw another bunch of legendary names join the hall; including Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo,  Jens Pulver , and  Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone . The legendary bout between  Robbie Lawler and  Rory MacDonald from UFC 189 in 2015 was also inducted. Taking to his YouTube channel and discussing the matter, Bisping pondered if fans would ever see longtime favorites, The Diaz brothers, Nick and Nate, ever inducted into the Hall Of Fame. “My god, of course, without a shadow of a doubt, without question,” Bisping said (via MMA Fighting ).
