The BMF title, a controversial and symbolic creation, has sparked intense debates among UFC fans. Originally intended as a one-time gimmick, it has evolved into a sought-after prize, with Max Holloway playing a pivotal role in its transformation.
The title's inception can be traced back to UFC 244, where Jorge Masvidal faced Nate Diaz. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson presented the BMF belt to Masvidal, but many believed it would be a fleeting novelty. However, the title has endured, with Holloway becoming its most prominent champion.
Holloway's journey with the BMF title began when he knocked out Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, claiming the symbolic belt. He successfully defended it against Dustin Poirier, solidifying his claim as a 'Bad Motherf*cker.' Holloway believes he has brought legitimacy to the title, stating, "The BMF belt represents a blessed man forever. Only a select few get to fight for it, and now everyone wants a piece."
As Holloway prepares for his rematch against Charles Oliveira at UFC 326, the focus shifts to the co-main event. The decision to feature a middleweight bout between Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder has divided opinions, with fans expressing their outrage. This controversy adds another layer to the already heated discussions surrounding the BMF title.
