He's already in Dana's doghouse, so he probably needs at least one more impressive, non boring performance
Him vs Ortega would be awesome.

It's a gimmick belt. The gimmick is that you have to be a BMF to fight for it. It's fun.I don't see what the big deal is.
If you're gonna parade around this stupid belt as some actual belt then defend it every fight or get rid of it.
Imagine being a champion of something and saying nah, the belt isn't on the line vs this guy. If you lose, that guy is now the BMF, not you.
It doesn't even matter because Leon is the lineal BMF champ and everything else is just bullshit.
Put the belt up or get rid of it. Pretty simple. If the roles were reversed, the reactions on Sherdog would be wildly different and I am very confident in saying that.
What kind of "Baddest motherfucker" picks and chooses when they put that belt on the line? lol if you're a true BMF, it's always on the line.
No one can tell me that Ilia Topuria is not a BMF. He 100% is.It's a gimmick belt. The gimmick is that you have to be a BMF to fight for it. It's fun.
It should absolutely be separated from actual belts. You will never see a titleholder fight for the BMF title while he's the champ. It's separate things. And a reason for the UFC to promote PPV's.
Hey Ilia is the one who's taking the BMF belt the most serious. He's practically begging for it to be on the line. It's clearly not a bullshit belt for him. He's willing to actually not fight Max If it's not on the line. I don't think Max cares either way. He's never even mentioned the BMF belt.No one can tell me that Ilia Topuria is not a BMF. He 100% is.
It's a bullshit belt. Put it up or fuck off with it. Why anyone is scared to put up their gimmick belt is fucking comical.
I am 100% certain if Max was champ and Ilia was parading around with that dumb BMF belt, the Max darlings on here would be crying about it if Ilia wouldn't put it on the line.
This thread is literally about Max saying he'd put the belt on the line and these morons are STILL going "Well why won't Max put his belt on the line."Again, he never said he wouldn't, he just said Ilia potentially not taking the fight because of it was pretty un-BMF, lol.
Yeah max is literally spitting out truth. When Joe Rogan (the guy who is always biased for UFC champions) says Ilia is turning down fights, when Max is saying Ilia is the one making things complicated and Ilia himself confirming it in his tweets by making silly demands... Then yeah it's all there.This thread is literally about Max saying he'd put the belt on the line and these morons are STILL going "Well why won't Max put his belt on the line."
This is the most invented bullshit I've heard in a while. There's all the reason to be celebrating this fight will happen and zero reason for people to think Max himself was a hurdle to it

FINALLY saying he would.This thread is literally about Max saying he'd put the belt on the line and these morons are STILL going "Well why won't Max put his belt on the line."

And never said he wouldn't. Thanks for playing.FINALLY saying he would.
What parading has Max done? And Ilia didn't say put it up against mine, he said put it up against mine or else. Ilia is the guy who wants the made up belt and he the guy who has paraded a belt around that he didn't want to put up against someone without extra conditions.It's absurd that you get to parade around with a made up belt then "Fans" fucking cry about it when buddy says well put it up against mine.
Max wouldn't be holding the FW belt hostage for the BMF belt, so I couldn't tell ya.If Max wasn't a Sherdog darling, the reactions would be wildly different and that's a fucking fact
Demanding a fake belt that Max doesn't actually have control over defending isn't like accepting a fight.is the silly demand the fake bmf belt?
if it's a fake one, what is the problem in asking to have it on the line?
is this is the actual problem that shardoggers are trying to solve in the last weeks?
asking for a fake belt is like accepting the fight.
that said, ilia has just won the belt and max is already pushing for his third ts at fw since he lost the title, i personally find it pretty annoying.
Ilia isn't holding the belt hostage lol, he literally has said he would defend it and against who.And never said he wouldn't. Thanks for playing.
That's the meat of this, plain and simple. The rest of this post will just be gravy

In what world do you get to hold a title of baddest motherfucker and not defend said title?Honestly how can anybody not be on Holloway’s side here, he hasn’t mentioned the gimmick belt once.
It’s Topuria that can’t shut the fuck up about it.
What’s the rankings for the made up belt, what’s the weight class, is it open weight ?
It’s a ridiculous demand.

I REALLY don't understand how people are criticizing that fans are acting like the belt is serious in a conversation STARTED BY a fighter taking it too seriously.
And if Max shouldn't get shots, then other fighters should try and beat him some time. The BEST win by the next real challenger? Max beat 2 fights ago. There may be a line forming, but there's a reason Max stays at the front.
The fact the belt was introduced for fighters that can't actually be the champion is the definition of the participation trophy era.i personally find all the situation pathetic and a huge waste of time for everyone.
that said, again, i don't even care about another Max's title reign at fw: he already lost to Volk three times, it looks like he's waiting for better fighters to get old.
If it's so fake why is Ilia begging to fight for it? I agree with you. Ilia doesn't.is the silly demand the fake bmf belt?

If it's so fake, why do you guys care that Ilia is asking for it?If it's so fake why is Ilia begging to fight for it? I agree with you. Ilia doesn't.
In what world do you get to hold a title of baddest motherfucker and not defend said title?
It's ridiculous the belt exists. It's more ridiculous that people are then defending him not having to defend said belt every fight he has.
There is nothing "Bad motherfucker" about picking and choosing when you get to defend said title.
The problem was introducing this stupid gimmick belt to begin with and people actually being on board with it then fucking crying about it when a fighter says "well defend your belt against me".
Exactly! Max isn't the actual BMF champ and i've been saying that a long time.It is a ridiculous made up belt, that’s the point.
As far as I can remember it’s never been put on the line by the previous champion.
If it was wouldn’t that make it a WW title held by Leon Edwards.
Unless we have multiple BMF “champions”
Just scrap the thing.
