Conor McGregor vows to fight for 'BMF' title in taunt to UFC rivals

UFC star Conor McGregor plans to add another belt to his collection as he wants to fight for the symbolic 'BMF' title.

McGregor, 34, is gearing up to make his UFC return against Michael Chandler but an official announcement hasn't been made for the fight. It's expected to take place at UFC 296 on December 16, but this may not be the case as McGregor needs to complete six months of mandatory drug testing before fighting and he is yet to re-enter the USADA testing pool.

The Irishman post a number of tweets whilst watching UFC 290 on Saturday night, one of which outlined his intentions to fight the 'baddest motherf*****' belt. Not recognised as an official world title, Jorge Masvidal stopped Nate Diaz to win the title when they fought over three years ago. Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje will now compete for the belt later this month after Masvidal's retirement from fighting in April.
