Questioning the logic behind the weight cut for a BMF title fight, “The Notorious” told Smash Cast:
“Why go down to 155 [pounds] and drain ourselves, and then title it BMF? The BMF title was founded byNate Diazat 170 pounds. The creator of the belt. So the belt should be contested at 170 pounds, and I am up for it.”

Conor McGregorbelieves that this weekend at UFC 326, Max Holloway will once again beat the Brazilian submission artist. While giving his two cents on the headliner, he predicted the BMF title bout to be a ‘good fight with a similar outcome.’
“It is a great matchup, Holloway vs. Oliveira. I am very much looking forward to it. It is always exciting for me to see fighters rematch. It takes great courage and honour to do so, and I always respect it. Their last time out, it seemed Holloway broke Charles early in the fight, and it was then stopped. It was hard to tell whether it was a genuine injury or a caused one. It see a real good fight but with a similar outcome tbh. I think Max is light on his feet and can pop Charles and begin to break him again. It is a different Charles, however, so we will see.”
“I do not feel the BMF title is accurate here, also with both men suffering in the sauna to make the limit. There is zero BMF about this. For me vs. either opponent next, I feel supremely confident. I stop both men in their tracks. I am a bad man with a good heart, so I may add the BMF belt to my collection. Good luck with the event.”
