BMF belt or the interim belt - Which is more prestigious?

[AmonTobin]

Short answer:
Championship belt should be the gold standard obviously. The BMF is marketed at the guaranteed action fighters' contest.
Longer answer:
Although I'd say in the right circumstances, it's possible, hypothetically, for the BMF title to be contested by the superior fighters if they were giving the more technical and competitive performances leading up to and including the BMF belt win. At the end of the day, it all depends on the who's fighting for those belts and what kind of fight they put on for it.

Depends on who you beat to win the interim belt… Moving up a division and KOing Justin is a lot more impressive then most interim belts

What are the bmf’s record after winning the belt?

 

[Wreckless]

but the interim belt can be defended.

They wouldn't disgrace the BMF with a Interim BMF title.

I think that speaks volumes.

BMF but only after 300

I'm not sure what they do with it from here but it should only be won through KO or stand and bang until KO of it goes the distance

They wouldn't disgrace the BMF with a Interim BMF title.

That's a good point

An interim BMF is clearly not the baddest in the game. Similarly a BMF who ducks is also not the baddest, it just wouldn't happen.

But by comparison you can be a weight class champ without having beaten the actual champ for some reason.

After 300 the BMF has a kind of prestige attached to it similar to a lineal title, like it signifies something about the person holding it (as the lineal means you are the man who beat the man who beat the man). Normal titles just signify that you are likely to beat anyone else in your weight class on an average day

Love the BMF Belt it is for bad-assery. It is for an aspect of the UFC fighter, they can do many more belts in my opinion like Karate Belt for best Karate MMA fighter, BJJ Belt for the fighter who uses BJJ in MMA fight best. But all these aspect belts can never add up to a champion belt even the interm champ belt. As UFC Champ is "THE CHAMP".

It makes me sad that this is an actual question.

Interim belt.

 

[thewhiterooster]

the bmf belt is arguably the most uselss creation in the history of the ufc. it's meaningless. a way to sell wolf tickets to the casuals. it's as arbitrary and silly as "the most right handed belt"

 

[Viking Power]

C. They're both shit.

 

[Stump]

The answer to this is obvious.

The interim belt is regularly MORE significant than the championship belt.
