I had no problem with the BMF belt prior to this, but it’s not anything. Why would Ilia get so butthurt over this? Max is the fight we all want, stop being a little bitch.

Kinda makes sense, but he should fight whoever is put in front of him. I’m getting a little tired of champions “picking” their opponents. I don’t ever recall Anderson Silva or GSP picking and choosing their title defenses..

why would he not get the BMF belt if he beats holloway? lol. that belt is so fkin dumb. the fact the ufc chooses who can win the belt and who cant, makes it even more worthless than it already is

It was a gimmick drummed up by Nathan Diaz to sell tickets, fair enough. But it's not a lineal title, if it got put on the line every fight it could end up on a 125'er eventually, who no offense to anyone def isn't the BMF.

We all know the real BMF’s are LHW and HW

Max has been looking better and better is last few fights. I think he'll rise to the occasion, he has the gas tank, chin & movement to outlast illia.
I also think illia is use to being the superior striker in all his fight, but I truly believe he'll have issues with Omaley, even though he'd be going up.
I don't know why but even though he defeated Volk he needs one more good win to make me a believer.
