In the video, 'The Eagle' can be seen responding to a question pertaining to his induction into the UFC Hall of Fame. He said:
"No, I don't have no idea. I was just like, I remember [Ali Abdelaziz] told me, 'You have to be there. After [Tagir Ulanbekov] fight, [Umar Nurmagomedov] fight, I was like, 'Hey, we have to go get some dinner, you know.' And he said, 'No, no. You have to be there.' I was like, 'Why? For what?' And then they show me this, like, my fights, my interviews, I understand something was happening. It was big surprise for me."
