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

[Snake Fist]

Interim belt ain't a real belt, it will always be a temporary thing untill the champ returns. The strange way the UFC is carrying on, some might think it is an actual belt. You can't have 2 champions of a division.

The so called heavyweight champ has returned and is refusing to fight the Interim champ, therefore Tom Aspinall is the Heavyweight champ.

BMF isn't a real belt either. But at least interim belts are given to winners.


The BMF belt is a marketing gimmick.

Interim usually is between two top contenders. It’s basically a glorified #1 contenders belt nowadays but it generally has some merit. BMF has no competitive criteria at all, belt slapped onto a fun fight, that’s it.

True dat, as it may dissapear or fade into obscurity in the future, but as of right now it's more of a belt than the Interim.

The only reason why the Interim belt is devalued, is because Dana did that.

 

[El Fernas]

The only value to either is for the UFC when they have no options for headliner fights.
At least interim belts lead to actual title fights.

Most of of the time*

The real truth is none of the belts are real and are the UFC's to give out and take as they see fit.

 

[Fight Professor]

BMF belt because fewer fighters have gotten it and it has stricter requirements in terms of legacy and fight record.
