Media UFC continuing to make cringy decisions

Intercontinental champion

You don't know who can fight for it, you don't know why it's those guys, but there's a belt

Said it before and I'll say it again. If they want a belt that doesn't indicate a ranking in mma then they need different rules. Make it more Pride like where stand up or finishing quick on the ground is encouraged.

UFC
The C stands for Cringe

Meh

It represents the most exciting fighters in the game, guys who have followings and put butts in seats.

There’s champs that couldn’t sell a ticket if they were handing them out for free and there’s fighters you would pay your left nut to watch.

The BMF belt just a nice way to recognize that excitement factor these guys bring and it should be celebrated because that’s why we all tune in.

Best not to watch then

Most intelligent fans will be watching Crawford vs Spence.

I wouldn't be surprised if they asked him and he said he was "unavailable". And when the next 5 people down the list aso said no, UFC breathed a heavy sigh of regret and sad acceptance, dug Masvidal out of the recycle bin and dusted him off for the gig.

This makes no sense

the BMF belt talk got me wondering "would mike perry be able to come back and fight for the BMF belt after the bareknuckle run he has been on?"

Yes, if the UFC needed him to. They have enough footage of him that they can splice into a promo package that casuals will eat up, and they'll find someone else who is both scrappy enough and not picky about his opponents (Matt Brown, Kevin Holland), and boom - done. Maybe not as a main event of a PPV, but co-main for sure OR main event of an ABC card.

What kind of cringe combat sports organization would make a fake belt for a fight?

Why? The BMF title is a cringe gimmick and Masvidal has lost 4 straight fights. From Dana hanging out with 20 year old youtubers, to lame WWE style gimmicks from fighters… Why does the UFC have to be so cringe?

Update

Jorge is on the stage acting like he matters in the buildup to this fight. Lets forget that BMF is the dumb gimmick, if we look at it objectively, Leon Edwards is the lineal BMF champ. Imagine getting presented a fake belt by a guy who took 4 L’s in a row and is known for sucker punching dudes.

I agree with you on this one.

What a load of bullshit.

That said, I generally mute everything between fights and rarely listen to the interviews (although I do sometimes).

I'd much rather be exploring music than listening to drivel after a fight.
