Kanehara, Shoji, Matsui. The 3 horsemen of go out there and die.

How dare you leave out The Diet Butcher?

 

[Taric]

They did. The grand prix tournaments were the BMF belt.

 

[DagOban**]

Fedor is GOAT so...

gotta go with Wand

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Wand percent

 

[Woody869]

If I were to nominate an original BMF. It would be Wandy. That dude is just a menace, no fvcks given. Fedor was an absolute monster, but not a BMF. Wandy in his prime would have been a marketing dream.

I think he almost armbarred Wand.

 

[Mammothman]

who needs the BMF belt when you have a SIPER HLUK belt?

Minowaman bless.

The goat belt.... Imo

 

[Megatronlee]

It’s called the open Weight Grand Prix and his names CROCOP

 

[milliniar]

Krazy horse

 

[laleggenda27]

Sakuraba is the #1 BMF of the entire sport.

too bad we didnt get igor vs wand back in the day, was dying for that fight, igor was a beast, but too short and small, more of a bmf style of a fighter

 

[Vanderlei]

Aleks E too

 

[markg171]

Wanderlei? Are people just forgetting you have to actually win the BMF title in a fight or something? It's not just handed to you.

Wanderlei lost/drew with most of the people who he'd be fighting for it, and would lose to most of the other contenders he never fought too.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

2002-2004 Wand, 2006 OWGP Cro Cop, and honestly I would even throw in people like Minowa-man, Hidehiko Yoshida, Nastula, Yoon Dong Sik, dudes who were thrown to the wolves for no reason other than "yes," and still were competitive. You had to be a BMF to fight weight discrepancies and then also fight murderers at the height of their games. Mark Hunt too. PRIDE had a lot of BMF'ers. Can't believe I even just wrote that out.

 

[markg171]

It's Wanderlei and it isn't even remotely close.

22-4-2 in PRIDE with 16 finishes. He had the look, the attitude, the finishes...what the fuck more do you want lol

The ability to beat the other guy he'd be facing for it.

 

[TR1]

I think he almost armbarred Wand.

His level of competition puts Poatan's to shame.

 

[Uber_Noober]

Wanderlei, the dude exudes pure savagery

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Theres a couple of immediate candidates that come to mind but Prime Wanderlei Silva was the baddest mf of them all imo

The BMF is a reincarnation of the Saku belt
