Mark Kerr, renowned as one of MMA's early pioneers, will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame's Pioneer Wing this summer. Having achieved notable success in both UFC, where he won heavyweight tournaments at UFC 14 and 15, and in PRIDE Fighting Championships, Kerr's impact on the sport is undeniable. His life story, marked by victories and struggles with opioid addiction, is highlighted in the upcoming biopic 'The Smashing Machine,' featuring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Kerr's induction ceremony is scheduled for June 26 at the T-Mobile Arena.
Kerr won one-night heavyweight tournaments at UFC 14 and UFC 15, making him one of just five athletes to win multiple tournaments within the promotion.
Mark Kerr was a high-level wrestler who also fought for PRIDE and was one of the early pioneers of the sport, according to UFC CEO Dana White.
Kerr's rapid rise - as well as his downfall due to opioid addiction - has been in the spotlight recently thanks to the biopic entitled 'The Smashing Machine.'
