Post its introduction by the noted Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, at UFC 244, the ‘BMF’ title of the UFC has often been in conversation. Also, the retirement of the previous ‘BMF’ of the UFC, Jorge Masvidal, at UFC 287, left the belt awaiting its next owner. However, it won’t be won’t be waiting for long since the UFC has already fixed the next ‘BMF’ title bout between, Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier and Justin ‘The Highlight’ Gaethje at UFC 291.

Prior to his ‘BMF’ title bout, Gaethje appeared at a ‘Cageside Press’ interview and gave out his opinions about the ‘BMF’ title. ‘The Highlight stated, “It’s the UFC throwing a bone like we always ask them to throw a bone and they never do. So I’m thankful there is an opportunity that I get to fight for. Especially because there is only one in the world. It’s a cool-looking belt.”

It’s pertinent to note that a lot of fighters had pundits have undermined the value of the ‘BMF’ belt. Apparently, Gaethje also didn’t view it as an equivalent to an actual divisional UFC championship.

Dana White dropped an update on the Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler fight

After Conor McGregor’s entry into the USADA testing pool, a number of fans were left in speculations about the possible timeline of his octagon return. However, the UFC president, Dana White, recently gave out an update on the issue that might give a bit of rest to the fans’ speculations.

The UFC supremo stated, “I don’t have a date, but I’m obviously shooting for the end of this year.” A number of fans might know that athletes are required to stay in the USADA testing pool for about 6 months before gaining clearance to compete.

Fans will probably find White’s words in close touch with reality. McGregor would probably complete his USADA trials in November. Hence, it was also apparent that the UFC wants to waste no time once he is cleared to compete.

Izzy also termed this as a “video game” moment of his life in a tweet about this incident.

Izzy’s video also showcased his dear friend and the UFC Featherweight kingpin, Alexander Volkanovski accompanying him. However, ‘The Last Stylebender’ also couldn’t escape ‘Poatan’s eyes. The Brazilian also took to his Twitter handle and put out a video of ‘Izzy’ at the airport.

However, things between the two proceeded quite calmly. They were also seen sharing a fist bump after a few words. Do you think they will ever lock horns again inside the Octagon?
