New bmf tournament idea

[Thatlookinhiseyes]

So here is my thoughts on this bmf tournament style tournament. The BMF isn’t the guy who wins all the fights. If that was the case, the bmf would always end up being the actual champ. It’s the guy that lives by the sword and dies by the sword. My problem with the tournament style is because the baddest mfer isn’t the one that always wins, what if they made the tournament by a voting system. 4 guys. They all fight eachother. 3 fights. Say 6 months, that may be a little tight for the way those guys fight, but the quicker it is the more true to bmf it is. At the end, say 10 voters vote on who deserves the bmf title. Win or lose. Maybe journalists or something. All about the performances. Start in January and the award can be presented during international fight week. At HoF inductions or something.

Judges fuck up the simplest decision, why would I want 10 more people deciding who is the BMF.

What about a 4 man one night tournament, with the first round being 10 min rounds like PRIDE and 5 minutes for the third.

Second round of the tournament its 15 mins straight no rounds.

Fighter that is trying to end the fight at the end of 15 mins wins...if a stoppage dont happen beforehand.

That eliminates the voting part which can be very problematic sir.

If they have to limit the fighters to 25 minutes per night, this is about as BMF as it's gonna get.

The BMF part of this idea is "I will make that second walk!" One will have an easier semifinal fight, no doubt. And fans will bring that up for the next ten years every time it's mentioned, no doubt. But seeing two elite fighters make no excuses, cowboy up, and drag their beaten bodies to the octagon for the tournament finals in front of that same crowd that they won over earlier in the night will last with fans forever.

i still don’t really understand bmf. it’s like they made a title belt just for nate diaz and he couldn’t even win.

they should make different rules for bmf fights, like allowing head stomps and soccer kicks, and fight can only end in a finish. there should be something to differentiate it from the average mma kickboxing match.

Im fuckin excited just thinking about it tbh lol.
Im with you 150% on this one though sir.

Fuck it, make it be the UFC's equivalent of an open weight hardcore belt

 

[agibmxmma]

1st event
1st round:
Max vs Masvidal
Chandler vs Volk
Nate vs Poirier
Hooker vs Gaethje

2nd round:
Max/Masvidal winner vs Chandler/Volk Nate/Poirier winner vs Hooker/Gaethje winner

2nd event
3rd round:
Winner vs Winner
Losers vs Losers

8 man tournament.. over two events within six months, but same rules more or less as @StonedLemur put into his reply.

If it's going to be voted on based on their performance instead of wins, then it should be round robin, not single elimination style.

BMF shouldn’t change hands without a finish

It's better for the fans if the tournament isn't on the same night. Have 2 fights on one PPV & the winners can fight 4-6 months later.

Idk why you guys love the idea of it all being on one night so much lol. Yeah it's hardcore and badass etc but why would you want to put these guys through 2 car crashes on the same night lol. Fights would be much better with rest & a full training camp in between. ie imagine trying to put Poirier or Hooker through another fight after the car crash they had in their first fight, they'd have nothing left for the second one.

I feel its more in the spirit of BMF on the same night though, now you're making me sad lol

 

[Cobra 03]

They need 2 BMF belts, because the heavier guys have no chance to compete for it. One belt for up to 170 lbs, and one for 185 and up.

I’m good man wtf

Absolutely. BMF fights should be Vale Tudo rules with no time limit and no rounds. We don't need any refs & judges getting in the way of our fun.

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

For bmf fights they should be shorter.

I think one 10 min round would work.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

BMF title isn't nor should it be a real thing...

Dont encourage this guys...

MMA has bigger problems to fix then this

really tho. the “bmf” is the guy who would beat your ass in a street fight, right? they should have as few rules as possible.

To be fair. Every bmf fight has ended in a finish of some sorts. Even masvidal technically finished Diaz. Bullshit technical doctor stoppage but a finish none the less
