Chael Sonnen is convinced that the BMF Championship is being locked away for good.<\/p>\n
Back in Nov. 2019, Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz headlined UFC 244 inside Madison Square Garden in New York City. The welterweight clash was contested for the one-time-only BMF Championship. Masvidal won the fight via third-round TKO due to doctor’s stoppage.<\/p>\n
Masvidal has gone 0-3 since that fight and since the BMF Title was a special scenario, it’s never been defended. Chael Sonnen believes it’s staying that way.<\/p>\n
Taking to his YouTube channel<\/a>, Sonnen admitted he’s a bit peeved that he didn’t see the warning signs sooner.<\/p>\n “The BMF is gone. I talked about this in an earlier piece and I had a bunch of comments of people saying, ‘Chael, tell us why the BMF is gone.’ I can’t tell ya, I’m not gonna get into it. I’m annoyed that it took me this long to see it. I generally see these things right upfront. I would then bring it to you. That bothers me, bothers me within myself that I missed but the BMF is gone. We never need to discuss it again. It’s never being contested again for multiple reasons and if I did explain them to what they are you would simply go, ‘Oh, how did we not see that?'”<\/em><\/p>\n Jorge Masvidal recently competed at UFC 272 on March 5. He had a grudge match with his former friend and training partner Colby Covington. “Gamebred” had his moments but ultimately couldn’t avoid the pressure and grappling<\/a> of “Chaos.”<\/p>\n The good news for Masvidal is that he signed a lucrative contract with the UFC<\/a> before his fight with Covington. His manager, Malki Kawa, claims Masvidal is now in the top three in terms of UFC fighter pay.<\/p>\n Time will tell what’s next for Masvidal but if Chael’s hunch is correct, then the BMF Championship will not be involved.<\/p>\n
