Not a very BMF thing to do ask for the BMF belt to be on the line or otherwise no fight
Speak Spanish so that's virtually what he says
saying if he doesnt put down his BMF title he's saying he wants Brian Ortega
I’m pretty sure they will talk to him. A fight of him vs max would be huge. Dana and Hunter know that, they aren’t stupid. I’m sure it will happen in the next year if I’d have to guess.Bro. You need to be fighting the #1 or #2 contender.
As a new champ you dont get to choose shit. I hope Dana and hunter give him a reality check
Yes, and his name is Ilia TopuriaAre simpletons really trying to treat the BMF belt as anything other than a gimmick
Why is Ilia the one who is being called the Duck? How about Max stops being a princess and put the BMF belt on the line. Is he afraid to lose his tiara when Ilia dismantles him?
Where are you coming up with this fantasy?Why will he not put the BMF belt on the line?
... if Max is too scared to lose his jewelry than he does not deserve the fight.
Only one person is scared of taking this fight.
1. Topuria makes announcements about the BMF belt after Holloway wins. - Question: If the BMF belt is given for other purposes, why is UFC silent on Topuria's statements? - This proves that what Topuria says is possible.
Cuz it doesn't actually give him more money? It's an accolade, but not one that really enhances the win you'd need to already get it.2. Topuria's goal, by what logic should not be a BMF belt? "Would any of you say no to that? Isn't a double benefit better than just defending the belt?" - It's clear that we all love Holloway, but there's a bit of bias and, in addition, distrust of Topuria.
Because Arman turned down Islam, as opposed to Ilia turning down Volk AND Max. The reason Dustin is getting a shot is purely because a date is being put together that the real contender wasn't prepared for. Ortega getting the shot when the top contender is good to go is not even close to the same thing. And I don't even get the second part of your point cuz it feels like a shot at Islam, but that was very clearly stated to be a reward for Volk, not Islam.3. If "Dustin Poirier" was given to Islam Makhachev, why can't Topuria defend the belt compared to "Ortega" with less risk? earn extra money, with less risk than it would have been with "Holloway"... If others make career defenses against sometimes lower weight fighters, doesn't Topuria have the right to have his first belt defense against a relatively easy opponent?
Yeah, I'm sure Ilia is better than Khabib. What was that you were saying before about "a little bit of bias for Holloway?"4. Topuria will certainly meet Max, either now or at most in the defense of the second belt. You haven't seen his wrestling yet, it's Makhachev's or Khabib's level of wrestling, if not more. You will see all this yourself. He controls his opponent's legs like Khabib did and then slowly puts the opponent under pressure. You haven't seen Topuria's power in this component yet, he is a heavy wrestler, you can't escape easily if he takes you to the parterre. I have one soul when I see him against Yevloev so that you all can see how Yevloev will lose with his own advantage.
I think you’re onto something here! I also think most fighters aren’t failed rocket scientists that picked up fighting after NASA let them go either!I mean, the UFC is the one that decides if the BMF is on the line, not Max, I don't get how these guys work in the UFC but don't seem to know how it works.

I dont normally say this but he's shook.
Screw waiting for another year or two for that to happen. Ilia needs to get a defence in soon or we won't see more than one this year. A card being built around a champ should happen after a defence or two atleast.Topuria vs Holloway in Madrid, Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. It will be like Rocky vs Drago where the fans turn on Topuria for acting like a diva.
Then I’m sure a real BMF also doesn’t care about putting it on the line.A real bmf don’t care about the bmf belt like Max said
Ilia has a responsibility to defend his belt. Max doesn't have to defend his until the UFC says he has to.He has a point...
Max needs to put his BMF crap on the table too.
He also knows Ortega is the easiest fight in the top 10 for him. Easy paycheck.
