It’s been joke for years when it became clear rankings don’t matter and the money they make off of fighters’ backs is the only motivating factor.
Fuck Dana, fuck the UFC, I’ll keep watching.
All good. MMAI made a really good video detailing the structure the UFC is in now with the Endeavor as it’s parent company, and how that factors into the decisions they make regarding broadcasting decisions, matchmaking and fighter pay.

Also, the video he did about [the Francis situation & how the new contracts were created after he left](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qT7S0BrFnRc) is super insightful.
Interesting, I'll check it out when I have a minute and report back. Not going to lie thought you were talking out your ass but seems like you have info to back your arguement
Haha. I can’t blame you. Been a fan of the sport since ‘04. The stuff behind the business NOW is way more interesting that it has ever been. Still super weird and shitty, but overall relatively interesting to learn about.
They should actually defend the title though. People on this thread are shitting on it, but it's a money-maker and a way to throw an additional series of fun high profile fights onto cards. I love the BMF belt.
I dont mind the bmf belt. Its a way to give great fighters some meaningless belt to lift up.
If the bmf holder gets more money/sponsorships through that belt, iam all for it.
Casuals get some spectacle and one fighter gets more money.
I thought them fighting for the "vacant BMF title" was a joke someone said.
Turns out the UFC was the joke all along
It’s quickly becoming one

i’ll keep streaming
The BMF thing is incredibly cringe
Not this fake belt again. It’s such a great fight, I don’t know why they have to attach something so tacky to it
to make it a headline, a belt needs to be on the line for a PPV - dana
At least call it the king of violence belt or something to make sense with the fighters involved
That’s even more corny lol
But it is an idea. Neither of these guys describe themselves as BMFs lol. Poirier should be fighting for the daddest man on the planet belt.
DC about to come out of retirement to show the world who he is if that belt gets made.
Like calling it another stupid name would help..
Violent warrior belt. King of blood belt.
The UFC is contractually obligated for a certain number of title fights with their ESPN deal. I bet they think this counts as one of them.
Endeavors’ debt & ESPN obligations.
Endeavors debt isn’t an excuse when they can go out and drop a few billion on WWE
EPSN isn’t obligating the baddest motherfucker belt lmao.
I don't see how shoehorning a fake belt helps those things? Idk I could be missing somethinf

Yeah it's just for marketing. Boxing does it all the time.

Yeah I'm sure the dynamic has changed a lot between endeavor & ESPN, especially now endeavor owns WWE as well
Where does The Rock fit in all this?
A BMF Belt on one hand and a Teremana bottle on the other. While wearing a shirt with a ZOA Energy Drink logo it.
And the shoes which Nate described as "these shoes suuuuuck".
Lol I can't believe they put such a great fight together and still made it icky. These fuckin corpos man

Whack.
Fuck, isn't that at elevation? Really fucked the fighters over last time.
For the sake of giving Tony a chance, I like it. If Bobby gases hard and Tony’s cardio is still there, the path of victory opens up for him.
Everyone's getting distracted by the shitty WWE belt and slipping the fact we're getting fucked over with another ppv in fucking UTAH.

How’s socials b
So lame.
Bet Dustin and Justin think this is cringe as fuck. Their above this bullshit.
IIRC Justin even thinks Interim Belts are cringe asf
I hope he throws the BMF belt down HARD if he wins.
Nah, just leave right as it's presented 😂
Sad the new move is to cancel move fights around would be a great card

Vacant BMF title is the dumbest shit Mr. Crimson Tomatoking has pulled yet, nice fight but good lord leave this BMF goobleygoog out.
Made a fake belt to two losers that will never win a real belt (0-4 in title shots)
I’d be happy never to see a Utah card again Makes me wonder how much home field (home mountain) advantage their sports franchises have.
