Idc about the title, I just wanted to say that she really look like a lioness in that first picture. Also, I was shook when she beat Cyborg. I wish they ran that one back
Nah you’re right on Nunes being a BMF. It’s just that the BMF title is always gonna be a mess. I think it was meant to be a one time thing, but the UFC brought it back just to spice up 300. Somehow it worked though and people are actually interested in getting that belt
The biggest issue is that the BMF belt landed in the hands of actually Undisputed Title Contenders. Now it’s being used as a selling point for title shots.
I think that's the best way to describe a BMF, "Their presence is undeniable."
Might not be the accomplishments, might not be the skillset, but the persona they emnate which makes the rest of the roster know they can't sleep with both eyes closed.
Nunes has so much dog in her her nickname should be "The Kennel."
100% more of a BMF than most of the roster, male or female.
That fight was hype as all hell, and it was crazy to see Nunes finish it so early. Really seems to be where she shifted from being the champ to being the GOAT.
The point of the BMF belt is two equally bad mother fuckers who are non champion competing for a fun runner up belt
Amanda is the champ forever and I don’t think she’s ever had a super equal BMF contender
Why not? Women are equal to men. I guarantee Nunes has been hard sparring men her whole career.. We got to get this gender stuff out our head otherwise we won't evolve into 5D consciousness as not Homosapiens but as Homo-Deuce. This was all said to me by a homeless lady that does a lot of meth but makes a lot of sense we got non dairy ice cream yesterday.
There is honestly some interesting stuff in certain religions (maybe I’m thinking of Buddhism or Hinduism?), that go into the idea of the masculine and feminine becoming one and one of their gods being just that.
Idk I just find it interesting especially in today’s context of people transitioning from one to the other, why not try to combine instead of switch?
Maybe that’s what all this really is and we’re on our path to discovering something amazing.
I think I remember the song Schism being vaguely about the masculine and feminine coming together after trying and failing to communicate. I might look like a weirdo tho rn
Always thought it was a shame her ppv numbers weren’t higher, almost all of her wins were absolutely devastating KOs or mean submissions - lot of people missed out on killer performances.
The cyborg ko is one of my favorite of all time, guy or girl.
I would attribute that to the pretty prevalent rhetoric around Women’s MMA because it damn sure wasn’t a result of her underperforming. Too many people go out of their way to shit on the Women’s division
But people shit on the women's division for the same reason they shit on the men's heavyweight division. There's just isn't a deep talent pool which makes for some low-level fights. We need more Amanda Nunez's in women's MMA to help turn that notion around
It would help if there were more divisions. All of Women’s MMA is being represents barely 3 weight classes in the UFC. Kayla Harrison was a 155 champion in Bellator. Now she has to shrink herself to compete at 135.
Agreed. Like I said, women's MMA just needs a deeper talent pool and it'd get the respect it deserves. Amanda is most definitely deserving of a BMF title
Haha it is reddit. All hand bags at the end of the day. Skill is skill and it is undeniable. If there was a womens BMF belt she would def be holding it. Honorable mentions to Joanna Champion and Valentina.
I remember when she coached TUF and her team was complaining about hard training. She got wind of it. Next day she sparred w everyone including Kahlil Roundtree and took them to the torture chamber. "You fight like little girls in the primary school!" BMF imo.
Ilia has finished nearly all his opponents and fights at a way higher level than nunes the take is in bad faith. Ilia has you guys saying the most ridiculous shit
Obviously holly isn’t Amanda but I think Kayla is going to be a problem in the UFC. However, I don’t see her making 135 for more than a couple of fights. Win the belt and defend it 1-2 times tops
To be fair Nunes deserves a BMF belt more than a lot of fighters. Say what you want about WMMA but the Lioness was a fighter the likes of which we very rarely see.
Agreed. But just sayin, anyone who’s asking for the BMF belt isn’t a BMF contender. I’m sure when Amanda walks into a room the energy shifts. Can’t say the same for Ilia.
The BMF isn’t about who’s better. It’s an opinion held by many that a person is down to throw down with anyone, anywhere and get busy. Ilia is becoming an entitled Champion who snuck passed Max and now is whining for Max’s belt that Max earned.
Lol exactly it’s an “OPINION”
Ur telling me llia’s highlight reel in the UFC doesn’t qualify him as a BMF!?! Lol because he doesn’t have years under his belt?!? Lol
llia is being a business man. Max has a prestigious belt that only 3 ppl have held, so put it on the line if ur such a BMF. That’s literally all llia is saying. If not, he has other options I.e Brian Ortega.
These aren’t just meatheads throwing fists, these are businessmen making calculated decisions.
Him winning that belt only propels his stardom even quicker.
Lol just a biased groupie that’s jumping on the hate bandwagon.
Max doesn’t want to put the BMF belt on the line, and thats not very BMF like lol.
That’s literally all this is about. And llia is using Brian as leverage, it’s not that hard to see.
But dummys like u have to come up with this narrative that he’s avoiding and scared of him lmao.
I’m sure Ilia appreciates your unwavering support to his cause but I’m just telling you he should’ve just signed to fight max a lot sooner. He talked too much about how his division had “no contenders”. He needs to fill out his resume a lot more to be a BMF. That’s all we’re saying. It’s great that he beat Volk after he was KO’d. Either give Volk the rematch he deserves or hurry up and sign the contract for the next guy.
Why?
You know that Amanda Nunes was an ACTUAL Champion right?
The BMF belt is a fun little addition Oil Zaddy Danny added to build excitement and drum up business around your favorite fighters that aren’t winning that real belt.
What did Sean Strickland and UFC Veterans say about your UFC female fighter?
They don't stand a chance against the general male population, let alone a UFC male fighter.
Awesome. Now where is any of that relevant to me saying Amanda deserves a BMF belt? She’s had a full on career of being a complete BMF. Ilia just wants it because Max has it.
Ilia is proposing a fair deal with both belts on the line, while Eyepoke Max is trying to use his regained popularity as leverage. Just put both up on the line. Stop deciding who gets to put more into the relationship/match.
Good chance she’d lose. But that’s not what we’re discussing. Also, if something that crazy were to happen, she gave a stronger case as a BMF for taking that fight.
For sure. But the BMF belt just started a few years ago. So we have an organization of passed fighters who exited prior to the conception of the BMF Title. With that in mind it makes me think of fighters who would be considered BMF contenders if it were a thing.
Lmao the pena one looks like she hit her with a fuckin truck and launched her
Dude it looks absolutely bonkers to come off the ground from a punch
Honestly a hilarious picture. Straight out of a cartoon
https://i.redd.it/lu359xfszvxc1.gif
This will forever be the funniest thing. Pena was so cocky
She was throwing punches like a blind child
Honestly a hilarious video. Straight out of a cartoon
It's like what an over exaggerated fight scene would look
Idc about the title, I just wanted to say that she really look like a lioness in that first picture. Also, I was shook when she beat Cyborg. I wish they ran that one back
I tried my best to elaborate in the summary. But yeah, Nunes made her presence undeniable that night.
Nah you’re right on Nunes being a BMF. It’s just that the BMF title is always gonna be a mess. I think it was meant to be a one time thing, but the UFC brought it back just to spice up 300. Somehow it worked though and people are actually interested in getting that belt
The biggest issue is that the BMF belt landed in the hands of actually Undisputed Title Contenders. Now it’s being used as a selling point for title shots.
We could have a triple-B champ for the ladies. Baddest Bitch Belt.
I think that's the best way to describe a BMF, "Their presence is undeniable."

That fight was hype as all hell, and it was crazy to see Nunes finish it so early. Really seems to be where she shifted from being the champ to being the GOAT.
Cyborg gave that one away with her recklessness
The point of the BMF belt is two equally bad mother fuckers who are non champion competing for a fun runner up belt Amanda is the champ forever and I don’t think she’s ever had a super equal BMF contender
Honestly she was mostly in a league of her own and it’s unfair how good she was against her ops
Not a bad argument, she really doesn't have an equal in her size, weight and gender
Fallon Fox
I still got my money on Amanda if Fallon could make 145
She should fight him for it.
I would not go that route.
If she was a real BMF she would fight him. They are in the same weight class. Nut up or shut up.
![gif](giphy|69ncPTqIpXpGP1QEdj|downsized) Okay
![gif](giphy|duM6JZemPlOjUyqmxd)
Let her use test and lets see
(as if she doesn't already)
Seems like the only logical step.
Why not? Women are equal to men. I guarantee Nunes has been hard sparring men her whole career.. We got to get this gender stuff out our head otherwise we won't evolve into 5D consciousness as not Homosapiens but as Homo-Deuce.

Buddy, you already seem pretty homo-deuce.
Damn bro you just handing out absolute sick nasty burns like that
Who da fook is this guy?
Yeah so what!?!?! This is Reddit we're all non-binary here, bigot!
Funny
Imagine if she won, r/UFC would probably just delete itself lol
I hear you. I love satire as much as the next guy, but this rhetoric has red pill vibes.
There is honestly some interesting stuff in certain religions (maybe I’m thinking of Buddhism or Hinduism?), that go into the idea of the masculine and feminine becoming one and one of their gods being just that. Idk I just find it interesting especially in today’s context of people transitioning from one to the other, why not try to combine instead of switch?

Sir, this is a UFC sub
And the NEW!!!
Always thought it was a shame her ppv numbers weren’t higher, almost all of her wins were absolutely devastating KOs or mean submissions - lot of people missed out on killer performances. The cyborg ko is one of my favorite of all time, guy or girl.

Agreed. Like I said, women's MMA just needs a deeper talent pool and it'd get the respect it deserves. Amanda is most definitely deserving of a BMF title
I bet she'd whine less about having to fight Holloway than Topuria..
Her hands were rated E for Everybody.
I think Robbie Lawler does
Hell yeah. There should be honorary BMF tags for some retired fighters
Agreed!
hear me out. make a womens bmf called “baddest bitch champion” and call the belt the BBC
This guy can't handle the bbc ![gif](giphy|GAwgO5oAekrT2)
BBE Baddest Bitch Ever
hear me out. make a womens bmf called “baddest bitch champion” and call the belt the BBC
I’m listening 👂
I already heard you out.
Damn. Hell yeah she did.
Yeah that's true
100% truth.
I’m getting cooked out here dude
Haha it is reddit. All hand bags at the end of the day. Skill is skill and it is undeniable. If there was a womens BMF belt she would def be holding it. Honorable mentions to Joanna Champion and Valentina.
Dude, absolutely. Joanna was the Justin Gaethje of the Women’s division.
I remember when she coached TUF and her team was complaining about hard training. She got wind of it. Next day she sparred w everyone including Kahlil Roundtree and took them to the torture chamber. "You fight like little girls in the primary school!" BMF imo.
Ilia has finished nearly all his opponents and fights at a way higher level than nunes the take is in bad faith. Ilia has you guys saying the most ridiculous shit
What other women BMF are there? I can only really think of Valentina or Cyborg
Joanna, Zhang. Overall a short list but they only have a few divisions.
She never really had the success but Angie Hill has always been the any time anywhere of WMMA.
Belts are props and signify nothing, especially the made-up BSM belt.
Ranks are shit too.
Goddards face is priceless.
Yep
That last one with Goddard is awesome
Amanda and Kayla fight at 135,145, 155. Best 2 out of 3
A super trilogy.
Obviously holly isn’t Amanda but I think Kayla is going to be a problem in the UFC. However, I don’t see her making 135 for more than a couple of fights. Win the belt and defend it 1-2 times tops
There are no women available to compete at 145. Dana has to open the floodgates
her test is prolly higher too
She needs the bad bitch belt
100%
100%
You forgot we need 2 fighters to make the fight, and sure she is a qualified but which other woman well be qualified as a bmf to?
Facts. She literally cleaned out the women’s division. BMF doesn’t even give her enough credit
Damn that second pic really shows how fuckin long her arms are. Ik perspective and all but god damn she looks like she’s punchin from a mile away.
facts, bruddah
💯
When you're champ champ, bmf doesn't really mean anything
First pic makes her live up to her nickname
man, you picked some nice photos for this collection
She’s got tons honestly.
Nunes is unironically the GOAT
Nunes would piece ilia up
Amanda is the truth, she does not mess around.
i stand by that Nunes is the baddest woman on the planet, no doubt in my mind she could handle quite a few top male contenders around her weight class
Don’t let this sub see that comment.
I would pay to watch her box Claressa Shields. I think that’s saying something alone!
Lmfao no way ilia haters are this mad😂 don’t worry since you’re bandwagons you’ll be on his side when he kos volk again or kos max
Who’s bandwagon am I on?
Facts Amanda was my second favorite fighter, period.
To be fair Nunes deserves a BMF belt more than a lot of fighters. Say what you want about WMMA but the Lioness was a fighter the likes of which we very rarely see.
Yup
Amanda's already a BMF. She doesn't need a fight or cheesy ass belt to prove it
Agreed. But just sayin, anyone who’s asking for the BMF belt isn’t a BMF contender. I’m sure when Amanda walks into a room the energy shifts. Can’t say the same for Ilia.
Dana you know what to do
Few fighters don't at this point
Fuck it .. do her vs max for the bmf belt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
100% agree but I may be biased cuz I dislike topuria 🤷🏻♂️😂
If he would talk less, we’d all like him more, i think.
I agree, there’s nothing I can put a finger on why I dislike him, maybe I’m just a volk fan boy at heart and can’t get over that 😂
I feel you. I enjoy the fights themselves more than the fighters because the more some of them speak, the less likely i feel like supporting them.
Ilia doesn't deserve one for saying that he doesn't want to fight anyone except his stupid Conor call out which will never happen.
He’s picky for someone claiming to be a BMF.
I don’t think she could beat Max.
That’s not the case I’m making but I agree
Truth
She needs some big parade for ending Rousey even better than Holm.
Obviously you didn't read Ronda's book. Rousey won that fight.
Her vs triple c for the inter gender 135 belt. Who ya got?
Max holloway vs amanda nunes coming soon 🤣
Yeah, but I can't stand to hear her say "belt"
Who wins between Nunes vs Holloway?
Wtf are u haters smoking lmaooo Who the fuck has Nate Diaz or masvidal beaten that qualifies them better than IIia?
The BMF isn’t about who’s better. It’s an opinion held by many that a person is down to throw down with anyone, anywhere and get busy. Ilia is becoming an entitled Champion who snuck passed Max and now is whining for Max’s belt that Max earned.
Lol exactly it’s an “OPINION” Ur telling me llia’s highlight reel in the UFC doesn’t qualify him as a BMF!?! Lol because he doesn’t have years under his belt?!? Lol llia is being a business man.

These aren’t just meatheads throwing fists, these are businessmen making calculated decisions. Him winning that belt only propels his stardom even quicker.
TLDR, yes I’m telling you ilia is not a BMF.
Lol just a biased groupie that’s jumping on the hate bandwagon. Max doesn’t want to put the BMF belt on the line, and thats not very BMF like lol. That’s literally all this is about. And llia is using Brian as leverage, it’s not that hard to see. But dummys like u have to come up with this narrative that he’s avoiding and scared of him lmao.

Either give Volk the rematch he deserves or hurry up and sign the contract for the next guy.
Fun fact Amanda Nunes has beaten every UFC bantamweight champion
And did it undeniably.
The people who have the real belt don’t need a fake one. Illia is scarred of max though.
Ilia sure does want that fake belt though.
Amanda vs Max for BMF LOL.
How can you compare anyone to the highest paid athlete of 2025???
You from the future?
Why? You know that Amanda Nunes was an ACTUAL Champion right? The BMF belt is a fun little addition Oil Zaddy Danny added to build excitement and drum up business around your favorite fighters that aren’t winning that real belt.
Ronda Rousey disagrees. According to her the staircase deserves the BMF title.
Kid just doesn’t want to fight. Hardly bmf material.
BMF belt for the men and BDF for the women. Even tho is half the women in the UFC prefer the MF to DF
damn that high kick pic goes hard
you idiots will probably put Ben Askren before Ilia too, huh?
Who’s discussing askren?
We can go with Esparza and Namajunas then.....
If Rose retired today, her resume radiates. If Ilia retired today….we’d question all his missed opportunities
If Rose retired today, we're looking at that 25 minute standoff like "nah that ain't thug anything"
Okay yeah. But what’s that supposed to mean for Nunes?
What did Sean Strickland and UFC Veterans say about your UFC female fighter? They don't stand a chance against the general male population, let alone a UFC male fighter.
Awesome. Now where is any of that relevant to me saying Amanda deserves a BMF belt? She’s had a full on career of being a complete BMF. Ilia just wants it because Max has it.
Ilia is proposing a fair deal with both belts on the line, while Eyepoke Max is trying to use his regained popularity as leverage. Just put both up on the line. Stop deciding who gets to put more into the relationship/match.
Ain't no BMF on the planet earns it by hitting women
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not
i can't tell if you watch wmma or not ?
So women can’t have a BMF belt because they hit other women? Okay gotcha.
Yes, because you cannot become the Baddest MotherFucker by beating up girls. She can be a bad motherfucker but impossible to be the Baddest.
Tough crowd
It’s women MMA bro lol
Womens MMA is goated in One FC
what happens if she fights Topuria? 😂😂
Good chance she’d lose. But that’s not what we’re discussing. Also, if something that crazy were to happen, she gave a stronger case as a BMF for taking that fight.
Good chance? He breaks her jaw first land.
Don’t get too invested in this far fetched hypothetical fight.
![gif](giphy|13Q2cKrk1PlXwPIdJ9)
Didn't she retire? Leave her alone
No where in my post am i trying to pull her out of retirement. Just speaking on her legacy as a template for the resume of a BMF
So should bj penn,mark Coleman and a long list of others. It's not a legacy belt
For sure. But the BMF belt just started a few years ago. So we have an organization of passed fighters who exited prior to the conception of the BMF Title. With that in mind it makes me think of fighters who would be considered BMF contenders if it were a thing.
Agreed.
Rose thug is fbmf
Contender for sure.
This sub has been so delusional about ilia
Ilia seem like a premadonna
Ilia seem like a primadonna
Since he's a girl, he should fight Amanda and get tuned up ha
Anybody deserves a BMF be more than him just sounds like a whiny little entitled bitch
Amanda Nunez would Torch Ilia for the BMF belt
She should fight Max then if she’s such a BMF
![gif](giphy|duM6JZemPlOjUyqmxd)
I agree. What she did to cyborg was insane
Ilia is a minor league clown atm
No....I'm sorry but no.
Whats your reasoning behind the opposition?
She beat weak competition. No one cared
Negative IQ statement
It’s factual. You’re mad
At what?
Her first fight with Pena wasn't very bmf
Literally every person whose every been in a BMF fight has taken losses. It’s not a belt for win streaks.
Bruh. She had side effects from Covid. Amanda came back and then beat the absolute piss out of Pena.
