Media Ilia Topuria has the BMF title on display in his home

This is fair.

The BMF belt is supposed to be an "anyone, anytime" sort of thing. Max said that himself. Then as soon as Topuria told him to put it on the line when they fight Max was quickly making excuses.

So, yeh, for that un BMF-like behavior Max is stripped of the BMF and it goes to Topuria.

And new.
 
Topuria is so annoying outside the cage, all he'd have to do is keep his mouth shut and win fights and I'd be a fan, but all this "Max doesn't deserve to fight me maybe I'll fight Ortega instead" and fake BMF belt and all that nonsense is just negative charisma

The only way Ilia should be fighting for the BMF title is if it gets vacated shortly after he wins it. You can't unify the FW & BMF titles and have FW contenders potentially win it. You think the UFC should allow the possibility of Aljamain Sterling or Movsar Evloev to fight for the BMF title?

Btw it's not like it's Max's choice to put the BMF title on the line, point the blame at the UFC not him if you like. Oh and Ilia was basically begging to fight for the BMF title, if you want to talk about "un BMF-like behavior" that definitely qualifies.
 
The BMF is the physical mantifestation of this sports decline into WWE degeneracy.
Eh, I think it's fine as long as it's used sparingly and appropriately - Nate vs Masvidal, Justin vs Dustin, and Justin vs Max are all great fights between two non-champs that still fit a ceremonial belt because the fighters have a history of entertaining fights

And as a side note, Belal is the lineal BMF (Masvidal -> Usman -> Leon -> Belal)

Ilia wasn't begging. He challenged him, and being the BMF is about taking on all challengers. Max said that himself, then changed his mind the moment Ilia went and challenged him.

And yeh, it would be weird. The belt would just be tied to the main belt forever lol.
 
So fucking dumb. Dude you're the actual world champ. Why on earth are you hung up on a bullshit trinket?
That is just the kind of guy he is.
His trainers will soon push him back into the ring to go get some fans!
 
As you should, Topuria is a monster who beat the guy that beat the shit out of Max.

Yeah but that wasn't "Prime Volk" and Islam softened that chin up for him. :p

Imagine being the actial title holder and wanting the FAKE belt?

<{hughesimpress}>
Nothing wrong asking for it, in the end they are all promotional tools, one is more respected than the other but the other is still cut from the same cloth anyway, but...he hasnt fought for it, he bought a replica belt to have along his FW championship belt, there is a reason Topuria doesnt seem to be gaining any fans.

Belt was originated at 155lbs, 155lbs for the BMF belt, if they feel like rematching, 145lbs for the FW belt.
