5 Possibilities for UFC's BMF Title

#3 Diaz wins

UFC 241 Cormier v Miocic 2

In this situation, we consider that Diaz may be crowned the first-and-only "BMF" champion, a title that came about after Diaz referred to himself as the "baddest m**********r in the game."

Nate Diaz is easily one of the most recognisable and highly popular competitors of the sport, after being the first to beat the previously undefeated Conor McGregor. A unique individual in many respects, Diaz has a signature style consisting of a range of boxing and ground-game. His black-belt level BJJ may serve him well against Masvidal who has not been KO'd or submitted since 2009. In the case that Diaz wins I would expect it to be via TKO/submission or failing that, a five-round decision, mostly due to Diaz's superior ground game.

Following his recent return and impressive win over Anthony Pettis at UFC 241, Diaz would silence any doubters with a big win over Jorge Masvidal for the newly formed title. We would no doubt see Nate donning the title at future press conferences and UFC events.

Even if UFC President Dana White is correct in saying that it's never to be defended again, it is very likely that Nate would not soon let us forget that he's the "baddest m**********r in the game" with the hardware on display as evidence of his claim.
