It appears Jorge Masvidal is after all the “BMF” titles.
Masvidal is set to headline UFC 244 on Nov. 2 at Madison Square Garden, where he’ll take on Nate Diaz for the “Baddest Mother(expletive)” title, and he’s willing to cross over elsewhere to stake his claim.
Speaking to WWE Hall of Famer Booker T on the “Reality Of Wrestling” podcast, Masvidal (34-13 MMA, 11-6 UFC) said he wants to beat Diaz (20-11 MMA, 15-9 UFC), then challenge the baddest mother(expletive) in the WWE.
“I want you to tell me who the baddest mother(expletive) is over at the WWE, and that’s what’s next after this fight,” Masvidal said. “God willing, I get my hand raised on Nov. 2, God allows me to get this victory, I want to go over and challenge the baddest mother f’er in WWE, because I know there are some bad mother f’ers over there.”
The creation of the “BMF” title has received some criticism from fans and media, who believe it delegitimizes the value of a UFC championship.
But Masvidal says if the UFC itself is creating a belt for this fight, why not get behind it? After all, he believes his fight with Diaz is what everyone will want to tune into regardless.
“If the president of the company is making the belt, you can’t disagree,” Masvidal said. “The two baddest mother(expletive)’s on the planet throwing down, you know. The company, the president himself is saying (this). Of course you got to love it, you got to get behind it, and at the end of the day it’s a fight that everybody wants to see.”
