@tedtrager9560 Ай бұрын

There's a problem with each guy putting up his belt. The winner takes both, and both will be on the line the next time he fights. That means they meld together, and the BMF belt becomes an afterthought. Sure, you can always separate them out in different fights---one fight, it's for the weight class title, another time, it's for the BMF title. But (1) if you get beaten for either one, the winner claims that in essence he won the other belt too. And (2) separating out BMF/weight class title slows everything down. Title fights are half as frequent as they were before. UFC needs to think about this.

Nah, I love Chael's against-the-tide takes most of the time to see things from another angle, but this is a flat out trash take. BMF getting raised up just for anyone defeats the purpose of the belt, it would simply be a redundant belt that gets tossed around. BMF needs exclusivity against fan and fellow fighter agreed upon BMF contenders. It needs to exist outside the realm of the usual contender-champion hierarchy. Random newcomers that won't take fights unless they're constantly given something like Topuria are not BMF material (yet). He can earn a spot if he proves his worth in proper defenses but he is ABSOLUTELY NOT BMF contender material.

@TheCrazykid0416 Ай бұрын

Chael! Thoughts on the fact that the BMF can't ever make its way to the females side of things? You'd have to make another BMF belt for the females since there's no way to have a female fight a BMF male champ for it. Someone asked Dana about this at the 300 press conference and he didn't seem to get the point, his answer was something like "it's the BMF belt, why would you need another one? The baddest is the baddest!" ... but you can't have a female ever hold the belt then since they won't ever be able to fight for it, so how do we work around this situation? Is there never a female BMF belt? Or do we make one now? Perhaps Harrison-Nunes fight for the inaugural one?

Let’s go. Winner of Connor v chandler needs to call out max for BMF. Max needs that one back from Connor.

I think Max deserves a title shot but I agree that the BMF belt should be a fan favorite type of belt. I think Holloway and Gaethje have both cemented themselves in ways that Ilia hasn’t that earned them the BMF belt. And there is the problem with the champ and BMF becoming permanently tied to each other

@CMc_39 Ай бұрын

Demanding a shot at the BMF belt kind of defeats the purpose of it. Ilia is a beast and has a chance to be one of the greatest but the guys talking like Max hasn’t done more than him at this point. Max was defending the belt multiple times at this stage of his career

Chael, I heard you say Max lose but what if Max wins. I would love to see Suga vs Max. They both like to stand up and fight. What you think?

Curious to see your interpretation to Max's reply.

BMF should not be lineal.That makes it just another belt. It should be permanent. You shouldn't be able to take it by beating a BMF title holder. This also allows the UFC to promote any fight at any weight class at any time a BMF title fight.

Max should defend that BMF title against the winner of McGregor vs Chandler.

I like it. Winner takes both belts. Let Go!!!!! Make it happen Dana. Max goes back down to the weight division. If Max wins he gets the title and is still the BMF champ. If Turoria wins. Well then he is also the BMF champion. One of them hold both belts. That would be awesome.

I’m not an illia hater but he’s not worthy of the BMF belt (yet) he still has a ways to go in establishing himself as a fan favorite before he can win that belt . I hope max doesn’t put it up
