Only fighting if the BMF title is available is about the least BMF thing you could do
This guy gets it
Well it also makes sense to do a winner takes all type of fight
@@Max-pz3wl no it doesnt at all. BMF has nothing to do with rankings. Its for the 2 BMF’s to fight.. hence this time it was 2 people literally from different divisions
@@Nick-dd8lv It's just a gimmick is what it is. A fun gimmick but a gimmick nonetheless.
Illia is already talking about not taking fights. He is not a bmf. Max needs to fight someone that deserves that belt.
Ilia was already fighting at 55 just moved down to featherweight this year n still undefeated now champion so I think he does deserve it
@@cashwalker9512he fought one guy at 155 and almost got ktfo
If he's already talking about not taking fights then no he doesn't deserve a bmf title fight. A BMF takes on all challengers, as should any title holder honestly. How can I call someone a champion if they refuse to fight certain people? Certainly can't call them a BMF.
@@justinwright1745 almost, but nah he knocked him out dead
Yep completely agree
Hes an ELITE talent. I mean holy fuck is he slick and good throwing his strikes
But hes not close to earning a BMF title from the fans. Its a different club. YOu can be better than guys in the club, thats not what gets you in tho
Giving the champ a “BMF” title shot kind of defeats the purpose of the extra belt
Considering it was contested at 155lbs thats a way to keep them separate, bit of a dumb option, but i see your point of the FW champ also holding the BMF belt if he wins at his own weight class, its not like he fights boring, but its not its purpose.
Naw. If the champ is a badass and not a point fighter. Why not?
@@402Racing no, bmf started at 170 between diaz and masvidal. Then they made a 155 bmf so why not a 145 bmf?
@@BakariFisheri think they mean after this it would just be a normal belt. Because a champ would have it
@@billcahill2110 it's a belt for the baddest mfer or toughest or most gangsta gangster or whatever. If the current champ is a bad mfer. Don't point fight or lay and pray. Why not? El matador bang it out with everyone and more than likely ko most. He embodies the bmf. It is what it is
It doesn't make sense to put the BMF belt on the line, since the BMF belt has a completely different qualification and Ilia hasn't earned that reputation yet. It doesn't work that way. That would mean if Ilia wins he'll have both belts. Then if he loses his next fight, does that mean both belts transfers to the next winner by default? That's just silly
If that was how it works then the BMF would just turn into a second featherweight belt
@heisenberg6142 well they could move up or down weightclasses to bring BMF but not fw belt
My thoughts exactly , ilia is not a fan favorite on the BMF caliber
The BMF belts meaning is completely arbitrary
True ilia is not proven to be a bmf he still a rookie but if he's willing to put up that belt and go belt for belt we'll why not that be a bmf move if topurias willing to do that that would qualify him I say lol
The problem is the fans don't recognize him as a BMF. Where are the wars with legends? Where's the anyone, anytime, anywhere attitude? The years of always bringing it in big moments. Like if you agree.
Exactly. Hes an amazing fighter, maybe better than Max who knows but hes not a BMF. not yet
Its select fighters that fans have enjoyed wars watching.
He is basically new in the UFC, but has almost the same finishes than Max so I think if Max wants the championship belt he also has to take some risk and put the bmf belt on the line
Wonderboy says max is the other NMF in the sport besides him, he calls max a nice guy. A BMF shouldn't be a nice guy, it's the baddest guy and topuria is doing a great job in his villain era right now
Yes Max isnt a BMF but he won the belt. I dont think fans have too much hate on him for it
@@GrowingDownUnderyes BMF needs some edge. I think a rule for BMF belt should be it can only be transferred by KO or TKO. If you win by decision the belt stays. Will keep all BMF fights exciting and true to what it means
Only featherweights can fight for the featherweight belt, and only BMF's can fight for the BMF belt. Topuria cannot make "weight" for the latter.
Bmf isn’t a weight
didn't even watch, came here to say ilia doesn't deserve a shot at BMF, this clout chaser needs to start stepping up and stop creating caveats for things
Words!
@@riccocool tl'dr Ilia is a clout chaser
The meaning of BMF is completely arbitrary lol. Lets do BMF vs FW Champ way more exciting idea plus the visual of one of them holding both belts is an awesome idea. Stop bitching and moaning and lets make this fight happen
You still mad he put Volk out cold? Lol😂😂
Stop moaning BMF isnt even a real belt.🤡
The BMF is about fan-favourite scrappers going at it. Nobody wants to see Ilia fight for it, let alone hear him calling himself the BMF 🤮
He beat your daddy volk thats why your mad
Topuria finish him all in ko or submission = bmf
Topuria just smoked Volk, that seems pretty badass.
@@billyin4c514he's definitely a badass, but he's also a bellend and nowhere near the kind of popularity level of the other BMF contenders/ winners
@@billyin4c514 Islam ruined Volk. Topuria just finished him off.
Ilia is so far away from being a BMF it’s hilarious he’s even trying.
Chill blud BMF is not a REAL BELT it has literally no meaning ppl would rather be #2 contender than hold that useless scrap of metal Secondly so far only irrelevant fighters who are on or hv reached the end of their career hav hold the belt MASVIDAL GARTHJE AND NOW MAX .
ILIA absolutely destroys MAX in every department BOXING WRESTLING CARDIO AND GRANITE CHIN. MAX WILL NEVER BE 145 CHAMP AGAIN NEITHER 155 DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT 170 AND THATS THE TRUTH.
It got max the 300,000 bonus and fight of the night another pay bonus 😅safe to say it’s a legit belt
@@ronnierebel6388 Agreed. It's legitimacy is being measured in who wants it, what it means, how much value is placed on holding it. LIke Chael said it's being measured by the UfC in dollars.
@@LegendJoe3063calm down
@@LegendJoe3063It has as much meaning as the world title.
I’d rather see Holloway fight Olivera as Olivera is much more deserving of a bmf title shot than the Spaniard
As if anybody cares about some bs irrelevant BMF.🤣
I agree. Charles is deserving
Charles just lost, Max coming off a win vs the number one contender. Makes no sense to fight Oliveira. When you're coming off a huge win you dont fight a guy that just lost. Unspoken rule.
@@MM-qm9ld gaethje was #1 contender?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice joke 👏
@@LegendJoe3063 did you not watch max vs Justin? That bmf belt just gave us one of the best moments in ufc history.
Dude won the belt one single fight ago and thinks he’s him already lol
There's a problem with each guy putting up his belt. The winner takes both, and both will be on the line the next time he fights. That means they meld together, and the BMF belt becomes an afterthought. Sure, you can always separate them out in different fights---one fight, it's for the weight class title, another time, it's for the BMF title. But (1) if you get beaten for either one, the winner claims that in essence he won the other belt too. And (2) separating out BMF/weight class title slows everything down. Title fights are half as frequent as they were before. UFC needs to think about this.
Agree the BMF belt is peer driven. There is NO WAY his peers think Topuria deserves a shot so early in his career.
Please don't give topouria any sniff of the BMF . He ain't no BMFer !!!! 😂😂😂 With his petty demands to a guy who says any weight any time any where . Dude sounds like Golum with his precious
Exactly! Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, Dustin Porrier, Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway are ALL true BMF guys. Illia Tupperware is a girly man who started talking about how many people he WON'T fight as soon as he got the belt. Illia Tupperware said the only person that "deserves it" in his mind is Conor?!?! That was proof that he should never be in a fight for anything that even mentions the BMF belt. He should be stripped of the belt if he doesn't start acting like a man, much less the champion, and agree to fight someone.
the BMF belt is not for everybody ....that's the idea of that belt.... if they give Ilia the chance to fight for that belt right now..... is gonna lose respect.
Exactly! Even the guys that lost like Nate Diaz, Dustin Porrier and now Justin Gaethje are still considered BMFs. That's the whole point of that belt and that fight - No matter who wins or who loses the fight it's going to be a banger and even the loser is respected.
We all know what BMF stands for. As I understand it, Ilia is already stating that he wont fight certain people. Not exactly BMF material. He needs to take a high stakes fight on short notice, or be involved in a real barn burner, before he gets a shot at the BMF belt. We're talking about differebt qualifying metrics.
The BMF belt has a meaning to it, not anyone is suppposed to be able to compete for that. Ilia is a beast but he is no BMF, if you can just put the belt on the line willynilly it becomes a currency for a title shot, that's not what it was supposed to be.
Im high as hell turning my bluetoooth on and off thinking thats why i have no sound
Got damn son!!!!!
Nah you can’t be the bmf without being in a few wars or grinds it just ain’t right 🥶
That’s what I’m saying…sure I get belt for belt is interesting but that belt is entirely different and means something very different than any other belt.
@@silentkyng3661 especially when Ilia talked about how he could just take Max to the ground and keep him there. BMF ain't about crotchsniffing to victory
@@silentkyng3661 agreed!
@@GuitarManFromJupiterso is Jon jones not a bmf?
@@codanoah2099Jon has been in wars
In my eyes not everyone is eligible to even win BMF
its more than just who wins fights. Its only certain fighters
The true criteria for the BMF title fight:
Even if you LOSE the fight (Nate Diaz, Dustin Porrier and now Justin Gaethje) you are STILL considered a BMF. You are correct, Illia Tupperware is the exact opposite of what a BMF is.
Hey Chael you missed one important thing. This is the only belt that transcends weight class and a possible incentive for a McGregor
Ilia doesn't understand what the BMF belt stands for. You don't turn down a fight
He thinks it’s just a belt to grab lol
Illia is delusional if he thinks he should get a shot at the BMF belt or if he thinks he has this much say in wether he fights max or not before he’s defended the featherweight belt once even…hate to say it but max has all the power right now and Illia has none…
Mark my and uncle Chael’s words when we say that Max “Jerome” Holloway beats Ilia Toupira with ease! 💯
Did you just use Jerome’s first name as a nickname?
Ilia beats max. He edges out the decision with wrestling, and if not, he’s the first to take max’s chin
Max beats Ilia ass with ease!!! Title for title!!!
@@sentientdogma1206 He isn’t the hardest hitter max has fought.
@@justinreaser8268bro, Holloway is a god in the UFC but Topuria understands that road ends when a hungry lion puts down the elder. Topuria WILL sleep Holloway, Volk, and Sterling
Love ilia’s style, but all he has said is he doesn’t think anyone deserves a shot at ‘his’ title and he won’t fight this guy, or that guy. He hasn’t reached that level yet. Dana needs to make him defend the title or strip him. Him and max is the fight to make, but idk if max can just drop 10 lbs of muscle that he put on the right way. It’s a big ask. Topuria is just not a BMF yet.
No sounds ?
Ur audio is defeated and disputed
@@mikeh024lmaooo
No audio??
Ilia and Chandler are both drinking the same delusion juice. Trippin
Uncle Chael is so amazing, he's me listening to him without audio 😂
I didn't hear anything and I still learned something. Thanks Uncle Chael
I heard the Audio perfectly fine
You can’t win something you don’t qualify for
if you, chael, understand the bmf's value comes from it being rare.. why should it be defended or put-up in Max's next fight? there's no requirement for it to have a lineage. it's for Dana to throw in when he needs it to reward the brave and agressive who maybe haven't got and held the belt as much as the fans want them to.
why is there no sound
Clean the crap out of your ears.
I don't like this move from topuria. Its a good chess move but also just a blatant money grab. He just wants the ppv points associated with the belt. I would understand him wanting the BMF, but to make a title fight contingent on it... I disagree with. Especially since Max is a legend.
Legend doesn't mean everybody will suck your cock he became so called legend bc dana kept him in UFC i dont think u would hv cared any less if MAX was fighting in other organisations besides one BECOMES LEGENDS WITH TIME ILIA will also become legend with time its not like legend is arare thing so that bs legend argument of yours is pointless as F secondly BMF is the most meaningless belt in UFC holding BMF means you hv reached the end of your career i mean look at those who hv hold the belt previously MASVIDAL GAETHJE AND NOW MAX and LBH max isnt beating current 146 champ nor 155 champ hes too weak for 170 so he has reached the point where hes isnt relevant anywhere other than some HYPE FIGHTS.
IF MAX WANTS ILIA HE NEEDS TO BE RELEVANT BY PUTTING BMF ON THE LINE.
No audio uncle
Where's sound
No sound...now that's One for the Bad Guy 😮
No audio
The BMF challengers have to prove they can both deliver an ass whooping and take one for years before they get w chance IMO. It’s not enough to be a dominant fighter or finisher. You gotta prove you can take ass whoopings as good as you give them.
Excellent talk. It's fun to consider how much respect is being given to a belt, this is one is for the boys!
So only some of us cant hear audio?
I heard it perfectly. -Uncle- *_Lord_* Chael must have beamed the audio directly into my brain!😂
Bmf is a guy who is confident ,looks scary ,fights like a killer and acts like a g so i dont know how ilia doesnt deserves bmf belt
Facts
Ilia is not that guy bro. Bmf is a guy who fights when he doesn't have to. The belt is an afterthought, he would fight just for the hell of it. And when he fights would go all out to give the fans his best performance. All the previous bmfs had this trait. What you mentioned is just a mcgregor wannabe. Big difference.
The BMF title should be up for grabs once a year on International fight week. Whoever wins it gets the right to be known as the BMF for the next year and earn a large monetary bonus kinda like how Max got for winning the title and then the following year the belt goes up for grabs but in a different division with different fighters in order to keep it circulating.
The UFC pays PPV points for the BMF fight, just like the champions get for defending their belt. It is a cool way to spread some big money around and pay them PPV points even though they aren't title holders.
I was already thinking the best thing to do with bmf would be to let it move wherever it goes, across weight classes even, then i thought that could get silly depending on where it goes imo
Can't hear the video Uncle Chael.
Having the belt attached to a division champion is a problem meaning it’ll always be attached to a world title and not an individual thing, hence the ufc missing out on an extra selling point of another fight just don’t see it as the thing to do but wtf do I know
Topo hasn't been around long enough to fight for the BMF. Max is the no.1 contender anyway, Topo's belt should be up, but not the BMF, the BMF is about celebrating fighters who've been around and had ups and downs and comebacks and are fan favorits for their journey and their heart Topo just hasn't been there yet.
After getting destroyed by TOPO holding that irrelevant BMF belt only adds salt to the wound.😂😂
And thats why ilia said put the BMF on the line bc hes 💯% sure he would win i mean ILIA doesn't even need to throw hands just take max down and its goodnight lullaby. EZ😎
BMF belt needs a qualification. It needs to be someone, who did not care who he fights and had exciting fights throughout his career. But imagine if BMF becomes an Open Weight class belt of UFC. Or at least there's a limit that the challenger should at least be with in 2 weight class difference than the current champion. So if the current champion is a middleweight, for example, anyone from lightweight to heavy weight with the said qualification can challenge the him lol
I think you are forgetting about the athletic commission
Max shouldn’t put the title up. I don’t think max should fight for the 145. I think he should go and defend the BMF title at whatever weight he says
So is he going up 2 155??? I think max would do better against him at 155?
100% he would
i feel like a stipulation of the bmf belt should be that is someone challanges you for it you must accept or hand it over that would make it a real title
Audio is great
Haven’t watched the vid yet but if max is putting up the belt he should get the ppv points he’s the one bringing all the fans, I don’t even dislike Ilia my first ufc event was Jacksonville where he beat the brakes off of Josh
No audiooo
Chael knocked the audio out into the shadow realm
The man started talking about Conor and going to 155 exactly 3 seconds after becoming champ. That's not very BMF like, i believe. might as well give it to Leon just for giggles.
The bmf should actually be the bmf...once a year, Open weight class, single elimination tourney with the champions from each weight division
The only issue I got with the BMF is it’s stuck in a weight class. What about the other divisions?
Let’s go. Winner of Connor v chandler needs to call out max for BMF. Max needs that one back from Connor.
Max needs to let him know that he's too new of blood and hasn't earned a BMF shot.
No audio 😐
As long as the other belt is on the line as well. Let’s go that would be so fire.
How will the BMF belt ever make it to LHW or HW? The idea is great, but it would require someone punching up, and another punching down for it move around divisions.
Ok glad it wasnt just me. They'll re upload it soon
Ilia Topuria won the world title and immediately listed off top contenders that he did not want to fight. Now he wants the BMF but made it clear, that they fight where and when he wants to. These things are the opposite of the BMF.
He didn’t say he didn’t want to fight he said nobody deserves it because no one in featherweight fighting
Illia aint in any position to be a bmf yet. We don't go from diaz vs masvidal. To gaethje vs poierer to gaethje vs holloway to hollaway vs illia. He got work to do.. alot.
If it wasn’t before, the data is there now!
Thank you sir. At least someone who clearly understands whats going on in this business, how it’s driven and visioned. Tired of reading to many blind fan based experts comments. Stoped reading them.
Max should fight Conner at 155 for the BMF belt if Conner beats chandler. If Conner loses to chandler then max should fight ilia for 145lb belt
Topuria vs holloway keeping i hope they agree to keep it at 155 pounds for bmf belt would be a great match to watch ,,, this will be so big ,, worldwide,, who will win ,, we dont know ,, Let's tune in and see what happens..
I feel like id you have the BMF it should always be on the line…. Idk why you would have a BMF belt lose your next fight but still have the BMF Belt….. literally doesn’t make any sense. Also fights with 2 belts on the line are more fun.
I think it'd be interesting if the bmf belt could only change hands by getting a finish. No lay'n'pray wrestling here.
Max will probably just wait around for mcgregor for the BMF
As he should...Featherweight is out of style at the moment anyway. If Topuria wants the bmf, he should challenge Max at 155. That simply won't happen
I think Max deserves a title shot but I agree that the BMF belt should be a fan favorite type of belt. I think Holloway and Gaethje have both cemented themselves in ways that Ilia hasn’t that earned them the BMF belt. And there is the problem with the champ and BMF becoming permanently tied to each other
Wonder if this will turn into an analogy that last five minutes about a stingray relating to ilia
Demanding a shot at the BMF belt kind of defeats the purpose of it. Ilia is a beast and has a chance to be one of the greatest but the guys talking like Max hasn’t done more than him at this point. Max was defending the belt multiple times at this stage of his career
Ilia told Volk he was gonna KO him for a long time… then he did it. now he’s acting like Ted Dibiase on the mic. Love it
I would like to see both belts on the line... would be huge
Belt for belt!!! Fuckin epic!!!!!
@@BuddyDanger hell yeah
I was imagining Ariel's jaw dropping as Topuria put over that BMF title huge. Because obviously Ariel doesn't hold that belt in high regard.
I actually do and according to chael the fighters also.. So I like this
The BMF belt is just for fighters who are very good, entertaining but just can't seem to hold the real belt
No way in he'll he deserves that.....this foo got the belt and did the opposite of every champ instead of calling for all to come get it he says no deserves a chance at him??? Like who tf are u bro not even conor....he always took on WHOEVER THE UFC GAVE HIM....and this foo wants the bmf gtfoh
A lot of scared max Holloway fans talking about he doesn’t need to put it up for grabs .
Don't really think Ilia deserves a shot at the BMF when hes such a cowardly champion, not accepting fights unless he gets what he wants. Completely defeats the meaning of BMF
Max should defend that BMF title against the winner of McGregor vs Chandler.
No offence, but Max is the A-Side here... I don't even mind if we go Max vs Volk for the title...
Tuporia needs a few more fights to get a bmf match that's the die hard vets belt.
Getting the undisputed belt where one of the primary reasons was avoiding a particular person is opposite of what a BMF is regardless if it was his choice or not. Maybe in a few years
Ilia is trying not to lose his title! Haha....tell him BMF is at 155 and is being reserved for Max vs Connor if Connor gets past Chandler......AND after Max takes his title.
I like it. Winner takes both belts. Let Go!!!!! Make it happen Dana. Max goes back down to the weight division. If Max wins he gets the title and is still the BMF champ. If Turoria wins. Well then he is also the BMF champion. One of them hold both belts. That would be awesome.
Chael “I’m just sharing with you” sonnen
Finally someone recognizing that Nate Diaz spoke words that created the greatest shyt we've ever seen as a fan base. Nate Diaz said ge was a Bad MF & the UFC said yup, facts here's your belt
I agree Uncle Chael 😂
I think BMF should be allowed to migrate but say Ilia wins, if it continues to descend the weight classes eventually the BMF belt is gunna be fought by guys that weigh 125 lbs, which is cool but when is it going to start climbing again if the current champ only wants equal or lower weight? We might need a BBMF belt (first b for big), can anyone at 205 make a statement?
BMF should not be lineal.That makes it just another belt. It should be permanent. You shouldn't be able to take it by beating a BMF title holder. This also allows the UFC to promote any fight at any weight class at any time a BMF title fight.
Ilias trash talk against mitchell was cold to watch against volk took biggest risk(to be laughed at ) as saying he will beat volk and changed his bio,also his fight against paddy outside of cage also his jai herbert fight.he is fucking g and walks like a g too.and not to tqlk about his fighting style,always goes for finish and is viciouse ,his debut was after covid on short notice against 3fighting winning streak guy and also he said in interview that while everyone is ready to be killed he is ready to kill .mentality of ilia is something special and i dont know any fighter other than jones who is as viciouse as he is.he really is bmf
Chael! Thoughts on the fact that the BMF can't ever make its way to the females side of things? You'd have to make another BMF belt for the females since there's no way to have a female fight a BMF male champ for it. Someone asked Dana about this at the 300 press conference and he didn't seem to get the point, his answer was something like "it's the BMF belt, why would you need another one? The baddest is the baddest!" ... but you can't have a female ever hold the belt then since they won't ever be able to fight for it, so how do we work around this situation? Is there never a female BMF belt? Or do we make one now? Perhaps Harrison-Nunes fight for the inaugural one?
Hey man I don’t discriminate let’s see a female challenge max for it
I’m not an illia hater but he’s not worthy of the BMF belt (yet) he still has a ways to go in establishing himself as a fan favorite before he can win that belt . I hope max doesn’t put it up
BMF only applies to certain people that have a specific personality and approach to the sport.
Chael, I'm all for the window sheen but you know you haven't tried fum.
I don't think BMF title should be passed around at every fight. Coz then it's just like boxing with some less important org's belt floating around with your own. It should be a totally separate thing you're not eligible for by default, even if you fight the BMF.
Ilia is a bad, bad man. He just needs to go prove it. One fight. Two belts on the line. Let’s go!
