“What date is that interim BMF title fight on again?’
Conor McGregor has finally given his take on the highly anticipated ‘BMF’ welterweight title fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz at UFC 244, hinting that he is the real ‘baddest motherf-cker’ on the planet.
McGregor, the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, claimed that Masvidal and Diaz are only fighting for the ‘interim’ BMF title on November 2.

“What date is that interim BMF title fight on again?” McGregor posted on Twitter earlier this week.
McGregor has an ongoing rivalry with Diaz, and the Irishman believes it’s inevitable that he will lock horns with the former UFC lightweight title challenger in a trilogy bout. The two fighters are tied 1-1, with Diaz submitting McGregor at UFC 196 but ‘The Notorious’ beating Diaz via majority decision in the blockbuster UFC 202 rematch in Las Vegas.
McGregor hasn’t fought since his submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 but the Dubliner is expected to make a comeback in the new year. The 31-year-old could be testing the waters for a possible return fight against the winner of Masvidal vs. Diaz, which is scheduled to take place on Nov. 2 at Madison Square Garden, New York.
