UFC's BMF title has been unveiled.....and it exists.
The UFC commissioned the "Baddest Motherfucker" Championship for Saturday's UFC 244 main event between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. On Friday, UFC President Dana White showed it off to the world.
The title is visually similar to that of the standard UFC Championship belts that the company uses these days, except that it has "244" on one side plate to reference UFC 244, and "500" on the opposite side plate to signify the UFC's 500th event. The letters "BMF" are across the middle of the title belt as well.
Fightful Alumni, now Score MMA's James Lynch posted a photo of the title belt on his Twitter account.
