Max Holloway wants there to be a system to decide who would be his next title.
At UFC 318 he became the first man to successfully defended the BMF Riem when Holloway recorded his first victory over Dustin Poirier.
Although the career of Poirier came to an emotional end, there is still much that 'blessed' can achieve after committing the lightweight division.
Holloway has made it clear that he has a preferential disorder after his return to the win-column on July 19, but as Dana White stated in his press conference after the fight, “everything is possible” for the champion.
If he does not earn Rematch with Ilia Topuria, it is likely that he will defend the BMF strap for the second time next time, but the champion wants some changes.
Max Holloway earns mixed reactions from fans for pitching BMF ranking
During the episode 'About Last Fight' of the UFC after July 19 in New Orleans, Max Holloway was asked what the next step is for him.
Colleague light weight competition than Hooker was mentioned as a potential next opponent, to which 'blessed' responded by calling BMF rankings.
Although he admitted that the rankings of the UFC are not ideal, he wants a little more clarity about who challenges the belt next to him.
“Brother, BMF, that's a BMF. We need a BMF ranking. UFC, please have a BMF ranking. Yes, so we can let them know. I don't say no to hooker, but I just say we have a BMF ranking rank so that we can't see it?
Fans were spread over the field of Holloway for rankings, with some that the promotion should embrace the nice aspect of the belt, while others still claim that it is a gimmick title.
“I really agree. If you are going to do it, go all the way. '
“Max, please keep your mouth shut.”
“BMF ranking list sounds like a great way to solve things in the UFC.”
“Terrible idea. Meaningless idea. Even the actual rankings mean nothing. '
'I love the BMF, people are too bad with stupid pleasure. Let's just enjoy it, go all the way and have a small striker in the UFC. '
“Hopefully; No. It's a shame it exists. '
Dan Hooker is a strong option for Max Holloway's next defense of the BMF -Riem
Although Max Holloway may have taken the opportunity to call a BMF ranking list, the title fight that he had started using Dan Hooker would be very logical.
Holloway has made it clear that he wants Ilia Topuria then, but he also stated that it is up to the UFC to decide which path they want to take.
A rematch with Charles Oliveira seems to be the matchup that the most fans want to see, but Hooker is another lightweight that will certainly be eligible for a shot on the belt.
If Topuria will be seized, Holloway Face 'The Hangman' would be another guaranteed classic for the first time.
