The BMF title is for the taking in the main event of UFC 318.
The longest stressed trilogy in the history of UFC is coming off this weekend as Dustin Poirier and Max Holloway Square for the 'Worst Motherf-' calls this Saturday in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Because this is his pension fight, Poirier was able to run away from the UFC with the BMF belt over his shoulder. As for Holloway, the BMF champion could be the first hunter to successfully defend the title.
Last year, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Mark Coleman wrapped the BMF -Riem around Holloway after he eliminated Justin Gaethje, the previous title holder.
For UFC 318, Daniel Cormier suggested that Holloway's wife would honor a title defense.
During the press conference on Thursday we heard of both headliners about whom they want to present the BMF title.
