What is the BMF the unofficial belt that will be at stake between Gaethje 
and Holloway at UFC 300
Gaethje and Holloway, two of the fan favorites, will square off in what is expected to be one of the most merciless fights of the card.

Everything is ready at T-Mobile Arena, in Vegas, for a night of action that will probably remain in the fans’ minds for a long time.

UFC 300 is just around the corner, and some of the best mixed martial artists in the world are making their last preparations in Sin City to make sure that everything will go their way on Saturday night.

The main event will feature Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill with the Brazilian’slight heavyweight title on the line, but most fights on the card are top-notch level.

Deiveson Figueiredo and Cody Garbrandt, both former champions, will be the first showdown of the night and that’s good proof of how competitive the card is. For that reason, it seems quite difficult to choose a fight among the 15 that will take place at UFC 300, but in terms of relentless aggression, the Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway clash stands out as one of the most promising ones.

Gaethje + Holloway + BMF Belt = #UFC300 worthy

Time to get HYPED for this absolute banger!

Gaethje vs Holloway: what is the BMF belt?

UFC 300 will have three title fights. As previously mentioned, Pereira and Hill will go head-to-head in a light heavyweight championship clash. After that, Zhang Weili will defend her strawweight title against her fellow countrywoman Yan Xiaonan, and the other main card event with a belt on the line will be the one between Gaethje and Holloway.

However, unlike the first two fights, both men will fight for a ceremonial, non-official title. The Highlight is the current BMF champion, which stands for Baddest Motherf***** in the Game. He will put it on the line when he faces the former featherweight champion, Holloway.

The BMF title was commissioned for the fight between Diaz and Masvidal, in 2019, with Gamebred being the first fighter to hold it after defeating Diaz.

Both fighters were two of the most charismatic of the UFC and were known to be among the most aggressive and ruthless in the organization. That’s why UFC president Dana White believed a fight like that deserved to have its own belt.

“I said to my guys, tell me if I’m crazy but what do you think of us having a Baddest Motherf***** in the Game belt? ‘And my guys loved it and we started talking about it. I went in with the design team, and we’ve started to design it”, White said before the Masvidal-Diaz fight took place.

Gaethje won the BMF title by beating Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 last July.
