If Jones fights for a BMF belt it just takes away from what that belt stands for

[SpiderFan187]

It's a silly belt to start but for the sake of discussion let's say it's a legit belt, that belt stands for someone that will fight anyone at anytime which clearly isn't Jones not wanting to fight Tom. He should just vacate and fight Alex if that's what he wants to do rather than try to claim being a BMF for the sake of fighting for a belt while at the same time ducking.

It was always a ridiculous idea. It should have been a one-time cheesy gimmick fight and left it at that. Two wannabe tough guys with double digit losses fighting over a fake belt because neither of them were likely to get another shot at a real one.

As soon as Holloway and Gaethje fought for it (and essentially legitimized it) it became more of a promotional tool than anything else.

There are no real criteria for determining eligibility, it's non-lineal, and it's just meaningless marketing as far as I'm concerned.

hes fighting a 2 division world champ and the HW goat

now read and ask yourself if beating a 2 division world champ and HW
goat doesnt make you a bmf

then what is?
thats like the biggest accomplishment anyone can make
if you wont call him a bmf

then guys like porier shouldnt even be
the man cant even win a legit belt lmfaoooo




i agree its a silly belt for sure in the first place
interim belt is also a silly belt in the firstplace

Nothing from nothing is nothing. What the fuck are you talking about?

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I personally don't think the BMF is meant to be defended because then it restricts it to one weight class. It should be whatever the baddest fight they can come up with at whatever weight at the time, winner takes all.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

In reality, Poatan should tell Jones to eat shit. Jones gonna tie Poatan up for two years, which closes the window on Poatan fighting for a HW title and potentially making history that Jones himself didn't make. Exact reason he's suggesting dropping the belt to fight for the fake belt. He's protecting his ego.

If you look at the BMF belt like it's a trophy and not a belt then it's not so bad. See post #5 for my reasoning.

If there wasn't a harder test infront of him which he is giving up the legit belt to avoid then i'll agree with you.

i strongly stand by the BMF belt being the stupidest thing in the sport. the term is nonsense. Bad ass? lets change that a bit- naughty butt. whats cool here? is that a gay thing? mother fucker? so gay and incest? what even is that title. there are so many things you could use in place of it. its just endlessly stupid.

if jon beats stipe i hope he fights alex. would be great

 

[MarioLemieux]

He's a pillow fisted point fighter. BMF Jon ain't it.

 

[CobraCobretti]

Did Jon think Max would just give it to them or does expect the UFC to create another Bamf belt?

 

[Hank Grill]

They should legitimize the belt by having the guys with the longest rap sheet fight each other regardless of weight like a true bad mofo.

Jon VS War Machine is the fight to make in this scenario.

 

[wildchild88]

The BMF belt is a lame gimmick.

 

[DoubleTrouble]

The lineal BMF champion is Belal though.

 

[muaythaibeast]

It's a meaningless gimmick belt. If that's what it takes to get him to stop holding up the actual belt, just give him it. Throw in a plastic medal just to sweeten the deal.

 

[RedDevilFan]

The BMF belt stands for absolutely nothing and is a fake belt. It is as real as the belt your father beat you with.

Why would jones need a BMF belt when he has an actual real HW Belt. That BMF belt was made for losers who could not win an actual divisional title belt. You really think Masvidal, a guy who could not beat Colby and needed to sucker punch him at night in a bush is really a BMF. The real BMF are the fighters holding those divisional belts. A guy who cant beat them is not a BMF.

Jones is already the BMF at HW, he has the actual belt. That bullshit is like a belt you make for your children.

Carrotman says hi btw sir.

Time for beddy, little Lemur

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

It never meant shit.

 

[RedDevilFan]

"It is as real as the belt your father beat you with."

Didn't think that one through.
If ones father beats them with a belt...that belt is real as fuck sir.

Stoned you need to stop drinking after hours.

What is said is that the belt, is not real and is as real as the belt used to put on his pants, which is an ordinary belt with no value.
