[@collin6270]

1. The BMF was and should always be intended for journeyman brawlers. 2. It needs to be kept separate from other title matches. Just because you’re a champion doesn’t mean you’re a BMF (Tuporia a prime example)

[@bass_life2177]

Killed him with the Charles Barkley comparison lol

This show is only getting better and better. Still want to see y’all in studio. DC and uncle Chael deserve to have a big production set and studio set up. This has the potential to be a pat mcafee level show for MMA.

Winner of Conor v chandler should fight max for BMF

[@JopJio]

Conor is no bmf, he apologised during a fight, has a 1-3 lw record and didn't win against a top 5 since Obama. and Chandler only has 5 Ufc fights with a 2-3 record and fights dirty. None of them deserve the bmf "title", even when its an unnecessary title.

[@lourencorp-ly6tn]

apologies for a butthurt of a dagy for a red pantie night or the ages? that apology? excuse moi sir how pricky

[@geoffoutwater7741]

This will be his last fight in Ufc . you think Dana going to let the bkfc thing slide I dont think so

[@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231]

I don't think 1 win in the last 5 years should qualify Conor. But it's a make believe belt anyway, so who cares.

[@tonytooshort]

Terrible fight

[@suedeel6194]

Glad theres finally an espn show I actually like

[@dougmason2305]

I've grown to liking the BMF belt. But I think it should be a trophy belt instead of a belt to be defended, kind of like the old Superfight and tournament belts. Like if Gaethje won, it shouldn't be "he defended the bmf" but he won a bmf title twice. A performance based based title, where fans and fighters agree that it makes sense to be up for grabs. Only putting it up like once every 3 years so it's special, and the winner gets some extra bonus like ppv points because it's prob what sold he majority of the ppv anyway. I get not liking it, but the fact a current champ wants it enough to refuse to fight unless it's up for grabs show's it's value (and should also disqualify him from getting it) The main and only reason I really like the title, is it will enhance the performance of the fight when someone is fighting for that title. Risks will be taken, finishes will be chased. It's almost like a guarantees that the fight you want to see will be exciting.

[@alexsnow5092]

favorite show

[@ketzk]

Dc & Chael in title & thumbnail = guaranteed views , the numbers don’t lie.

[@Ordinarymanners]

I'm not a KZbin wizard, but people watch this for Chael and DC and skim over their recommended section to see what to watch next. Not putting Chael and DC in a thumbnail of an ESPN MMA channel is not a smart move. They're your needle movers. We don't watch this to see just anyone's perspectives on the BMF, we watch this for the daddest man on the planet and uncle Chael.

[@Slope_me]

They need to have an exclusive event for the BMF. Tournament style one night of fights for whoever signs up.

[@kikomonclova925]

Ilia vs Holloway is the fight I want to see the most right now tbh. Holloway possibly has the style to beat Ilia but with that said and regardless of what Volk fanboys think, Ilia could win that fight. 💯

[@jobymahon2871]

How could anyone deny rhe courage it took Illia to refuse to fight anyone in rhe top 15 at fewrherweight... Smh

I think it's the equivalent to who's the actual gladiator in the UFC. It's definitely just as good as the gold belt. But definitely the BMF belt is the belt that makes you the BMF on the planet. Key word Planet !

[@saintvalentine4040]

My fav mma show, and the only one I watch religiously. But you guys gotta put their faces in the thumbnails

[@tonywasin]

I've said this for years. Only one fight we need to see JBJs vs Daniel Cormia at heavy weight

[@H-Town_83]

The BMF belt should only change hands on Ko/Tko. If Ilia cant put Max away he doesn't get it. It also keeps it in the realm of real fighters who are not going to wrestle fro 25 minutes. As much as i love good wrestlers, the BMF should only change hands on a finish.

[@ItsMeEvss]

They are in the thumbnail,Good Guy Bad Guy..

[@tonyrange1874]

IMO, Topuria does not meet the requirements for the BMF belt. I’m not saying he’s not good, he’s obviously a champion caliber fighter, but not quite BMF. Justin taking a fight where he had nothing to gain and everything to lose - BMF. Max fighting the biggest KO artist in a division above him - BMF. Topuria skipped over Max. The BMF is not strictly a ranking based belt

[@bobdolesghost2406]

He said TWood was a better commentator lmao. Shots fired!

[@stevesilverman3213]

The BMF should be annual. The BMF of 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024...It could motivate fighters in all classes to put it on the line every fight.

Max wants that rematch with volk and its incredibly hard to get with his losses to him.. if he gets the 45 belt that fight is literally his next fight. Thats his motivation.

[@stockchartart1147]

Volk deserves rematch because he was the 🐐 , Holloway is a huge fight, why wouldn't he take that, Ortega also a huge name fight. Who is Top gonna defend against ?

ESPN talking heads gaslighting you into liking the BMF belt:

Gathjae is a real fighter. He didn’t come up with excuses after his loss like all the other dudes do

[@danelhernandez4875]

Justin vs charles rematch is a great fight

[@JACKEDHOUSE]

Every bmf win has been by knockout. You should only be able to win the belt by ko

[@Ghost-304]

Jorge wasn’t a KO, Nate was robbed by the Doc. If that fight happens anywhere besides NY the fight continues lol

[@waleedabbas4996]

No, only specific type of fighters should get it. Usman KO'd Masvidal, it doesn't mean that he should get the BMF belt.

[@MitchHayes-re2vd]

Jones vs Stipe and Alex vs Tom.. winners get each other! This is simple

[@yeetsalittle]

If Max is going back to 145, at 155 Arman should fight the winner at 302 and Gaethje vs Oliveira 2 should be put on the same card

[@JacViramuerte]

Yo in all honestly, Hill was out cold. Yes, he woke up quickly, but he was out.

[@keikoking1880]

Max vs charles for bmf at 155

[@rattletop]

Justin knows why he needs to heal up because he's close friends with Usman who Usman had been brutally KO'd. So I am sure he would have advised Garth to take it slow.

[@florinturner1378]

Chael just be saying anything. Volk never stopped Max and Max never said he would put up his BMF belt

[@storms4063]

The UFC has a problem. Ilia needs to be told who to fight and NO BMF. Shut him up and book him the Perth fight for the rematch with Volk. Ilia needs Dana White to notch him down just a tad.

[@tatro222]

imo the bmf bouts should be chosen by the fans or have certain fighters. Illia is not a bmf as much as im a fan of him he does not deserve a chance at it.

[@josephpatterson1955]

I think the BMF should be relinquished once a fighter becomes champion but if he loses he has the chance to fight for an open BMF 1st against someone else. No BMF can be carried by a champion. It just becomes open upon going into championship fights. All BMF titles are picked by the fans as the fan favorites as deemed BMF contenders. We can’t have wrestling crotch sniffers with a BMF belt. Fans pick
