Late TV producer Bruce Connal will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer, the promotion announced during UFC 223 on Saturday.
Connal - who'd played an integral role in the bulk of the promotion's shows since 1997 - passed away earlier in 2018. He will be the fifth person inducted into the hall's Contributor Wing.
"Bruce was a close friend to all of us here at UFC and he was also one of the most talented television producers I’ve ever seen," UFC president Dana White said in a statement. "Bruce did an amazing job producing the most successful events in UFC history and he will be sorely missed."
The induction ceremony will take place July 5 in Las Vegas during International Fight Week.
