      Ilia is a bloody beast though man. He has so much power and great boxing and jujits (I’m pretty confident it is top notch). Out of all the fighters, all the time. I have not witnessed the amount of power at that speed. Perfect form. His personality leaves something to be desired but I don’t care.

    Let's be honest. The only one who disrespected Ilia was Hollowey and his fans.
    He simply came to watch UFC 300 and Hollowey before it started said it was "questionable" him or his belt. Then his fans said he was afraid (it's a joke that the fighter with the most knockout power is going to be afraid). Ilia responds to all that in his tweets and to the false reports that he turned down the fight. Volk himself denied it.

    the BMF belt is basically the hardcore belt from WWE and therefore should have a couple special belt rules. The two I'd propose are;
    1. It can only change hands with a KO/submission/FOTN
    2. If your fight doesn't lead to a KO, submission, or some other perf. bonus the belt is stripped and a new BMF fight is scheduled
    This belt is basically supposed to reward two highly skilled fighters that are willing to actually fight instead of do glorified sparring for 3-5 rounds and get praised for being tactical.

    New Rules: BMF belt can only be won by KO or TKO. You can only try to be a double champ in another weight class if you hold both the BMF belt and the belt in your division. This will stop everyone from trying to double champ and also encourage good fights with the BMF belt

  • @EricPhillips-vy9tp

    Chael, Ileah cannot be the BMF yet. The only way to even be in consideration for the BMF is to be someone like you, Anthony Smith, Justin G, Michael Chandler, Dustin, Poirier, Jorge Masvidal, Nate Diaz, or any other BMF who has endured the struggle of competition with many losses that they have had to overcome. that is why we love all of you guys is because you have dealt with the difficulty of coming back after losses and heartbreaks. The toughest guy in every wrestling tournament is the guy who gets third. That is what I’ve been telling my wrestlers for the last 30 years because I lost in the state semi finals my senior year and was so emotionally heartbroken that I lost the next round of wrestle backs. Do you know why? Because I was not BMF. Max Holloway and all of you guys have demonstrated that you were tough enough to get third in the tournament and deal with the loss and pain that you fail. So, if Max loses, he loses to Illeah, he loses the belt, but Ileah does not yet qualify so he does not get it. The BMF should have rules around it that state they must have had a certain amount of fights with a certain amount of losses. So if Max loses it, they just put it on the shelf and give it the way they have in the past - deciding who qualifies. So, they both have something to lose in this fight as far as belts go. Max has qualified to earn a shot for that title so he can pick up the 145 pound strap. If illeah loses to Max and fights his way back, then maybe he can be in the conversation for a shot the BMF., For now, he just needs to keep competing and trying to shoot for Khabib, John Jones type of goat status.

    It ain’t even about what Topuria is saying! He’s just talking out of his ass at this point to get under Max’s skin in hopes Max chooses to fight him next. Topuria recognizes out of all the opponents he could fight next (Volk, Ortega, Max), it’s against Max that he has the most to gain in terms of becoming a superstar and getting the big money fights. As of right now the ball is actually in Max’s court on what he wants to do. If he wants to fight Conor or Oliveira for the BMF, the ufc will make it happen. That is why Topuria is so adamant on wanting the BMF title on the line. It opens up all these possibilities and options for him beyond 145 lbs should he beat max.
