Max Holloway is thinking about who he will hand over the BMF title to next.
The fighting Hawaiians are competing for the most unique championship in the sport today. It all started with Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz at UFC 244, where both fighters battled for bragging rights to “Baddest Motherf*****”, with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson winning He put the belt on Masvidal.

Masvidal's first title returned a few years later at UFC 291, when he fought Justin Gaethje against Dustin Poirier. “Gamebred” draped the belt over Gaethje's shoulders after brutally knocking out his fellow teammate.
The BMF title is on the line once again at UFC 300, with former featherweight champion Holloway moving up to take on Gaethje, who is defending his title at lightweight.
Ahead of the special occasion, Holloway was asked who should take over the torch from Masvidal and present him with the BMF title at UFC 300. It was a no-brainer for me to answer “blessing.''
“The only right guy, the only right answer is Mark Coleman,” Holloway said. MMA Junkie. “Especially when he took his dog out recently, his dog woke up and when his dog woke him up and went to save his stuff, he went in there and ran for the dog. He's a G-brother. That's the real BMF.”
Coleman, a former UFC heavyweight champion, recently saved his parents from a burning house. Coleman was woken up by his dog, Hummer, to warn him of the impending danger. He then went inside the house to rescue his parents and save his pet, but collapsed from smoke inhalation.
Although Coleman's dog, Hummer, did not survive, it goes without saying that this retired fighter was a hero and a “BMF” as he called it, as he risked his life for his family.
The 59-year-old was discharged from hospital a few days later after contracting pneumonia.
“So that's the only correct answer,” Holloway said of Coleman. “I think they used them in that little bit.” [UFC 300] The same goes for promotional videos, right? Confronting DC [Daniel Cormier] right? And that photo, yes, they did. So maybe that's a hint. Maybe he will, and if he does, it will be a big deal. It would be an honor to have him do it. ”
That could happen, as Mark Coleman and his family have been invited to attend UFC 300 in Las Vegas next weekend.
“I'm so excited today. I'm so excited because the UFC is giving me and my daughters tickets to UFC 300, which is the biggest show of all time in Las Vegas. I'm looking forward to it.” Let's go win the BMF belt that's on,'' Coleman said. Instagram. “The main event is also big. The whole card is sick. See you soon. The best day to be alive is to be the best version of yourself, you never know when you'll need it.” . Sobriety is a cool carnivore diet, with nine ancestral tenants giving House a lifetime shot.”
“The Godfather of Ground and Pound” was a pioneer in MMA and fought 12 times under the UFC banner. Coleman's resume includes Randy Couture, Fedor Emelianenko (twice), Dan Severn, and many others.
