Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal are set to brawl for the Welterweight Championship at the main event of UFC 251 which takes place this Saturday at Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. But, The biggest question of fans is "Will BMF championship be on the line?"
UFC president Dana White recently answered this question. The answer is No.
Jorge 'Gamebred' Masvidal earned the name of baddest moxxxxfuxxxx by defeating Nate Diaz last year. Since then, Jorge Masvidal has made it part of his identity. Jorge Masvidal oftenly reminds the world about his title.
Kamaru Usman, The welterweight champion, last year stated that he wants the BMF championship on the line if they ever meet up. During an earlier interview, the Nigerian Nightmare gave his opinion on the title. The welterweight champion said that the BMF belt is different from others. He doesn't think of it as an actual belt.
Kamaru Usman said that it's like a prize for some school competition. But, Kamaru Usman wants that belt badly because Jorge Masvidal boasts of that. After Jorge Masvidal entered the title scenes for UFC 251, Kamaru Usman again stated that he badly wants that BMF belt.
Kamaru Usman knows that the BMF belt is useless but he wants to take that BMF status from Gamebred. UFC fans had many hopes for the BMF belt. But, Dana White confirmed that the title is not on the line.
Dana White knows how badly Kamaru Usman wants it. But, it's a one-and-done piece. Kamaru Usman isn't happy with that decision but he will be happy to break Jorge Masvidal's face at UFC 251.
The stakes are still high for the main event of UFC 251 although the BMF belt is out of the line. Backstage heat for the match is growing as two welterweight masters are getting into the octagon in less than a week.
