SALT LAKE CITY – While some are criticizing the UFC for bringing back the “Baddest Motherf*cker” title, others are happy it’s back in play.
In the headliner of Saturday’s UFC 291, Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje will collide in a highly-anticipated rematch that’s set to be for the UFC’s “BMF” belt. That title was previously held by Jorge Masvidal, who won it by defeating Nate Diaz back in 2019 in the main event of UFC 244. UFC president Dana White said the BMF belt was a one-time thing and exclusive to Diaz and Masvidal, but it’s been brought back to life almost four years later.
The move has received some criticism, but some love from others as well. That includes UFC lightweight veteran Bobby Green, who’s all in the concept of the title.
