So, I gotta tell you guys about this whole Nate Diaz “BMF” thing. Man, it’s been a wild ride figuring this out!
It all started back in 2019. I was watching UFC 241, and Nate Diaz just beat the crap out of Anthony Pettis. Right after, in his interview, he starts talking about how he’s the “Baddest Motherfer” in the game. I was like, “What the hell is this guy talking about?” I mean, Diaz was always a tough dude, a real scrapper, but this was something else. It got me curious, you know?
So, I started digging. I watched a bunch of his old fights, his time on The Ultimate Fighter, everything. And I gotta say, the more I watched, the more I got it. This guy is as real as it gets. He doesn’t care about the glitz and glamour, he just wants to fight. He was clearly the realest man in the house. It took only 2 episodes for the world to see Diaz.
Then, it hit me. He started talking about fighting Jorge Masvidal, another tough-as-nails fighter, to really settle who the “BMF” was. And boom! Less than three months later, the UFC actually made it happen. They made a special “BMF” belt just for this fight. Can you believe that? A one-of-a-kind belt, just because Nate Diaz opened his mouth! That event was UFC 244. I watched the entire show from the beginning to the end.
Now, I know some people think it’s a gimmick, a publicity stunt. But for guys like Diaz and Masvidal, it’s more than that. It’s about respect, about proving who’s the toughest, no-nonsense fighter out there. It’s about that raw, unfiltered spirit of fighting.
Here’s what I found out about the “BMF” thing:
- It stands for “Baddest Motherfer.” Pretty straightforward, right?
- Nate Diaz came up with the idea after beating Anthony Pettis at UFC 241.
- The UFC made a special belt for the Diaz vs. Masvidal fight at UFC 244 in 2019.
- It’s not an official title, more like a symbolic thing for the fans and fighters.
I even found out that there’s going to be another fight with the “BMF” title on the line! It’s at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on July 6, 2024. I don’t know who’s gonna be fighting for it yet, but you bet your ass I’ll be watching!
Honestly, this whole “BMF” thing has made me appreciate Nate Diaz even more. He’s a true original, a guy who speaks his mind and backs it up in the Octagon. And he managed to create something totally new in the UFC, just by being himself. That’s pretty damn impressive if you ask me.
Conclusion:
I keep searching for more information about it. It is a very interesting topic in UFC. I think I will keep my eyes on it.
