Conor McGregor credits himself for the ‘BMF’ belt design as he calls for the winner of the UFC 244 headliner between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.
As of this writing, no one but those involved in the design process has seen the “baddest motherf—r” belt for UFC 244. What’s known to the public is that it purportedly costs $50,000 and that The Rock will be presenting it to either Jorge Masvidal or Nate Diaz.
Conor McGregor, however, claimed he signed off on the belt’s design.
“I designed that ‘Bad Motherf—r’ belt,” McGregor said at a sponsor’s event on Tuesday in Kyiv, Ukraine (via MMA Junkie). “I actually designed that. I signed off on the design of how they are creating that belt.”
Along with the claim, “The Notorious” also called for the winner of the UFC 244 headliner.
“So most certainly that belt was brought into fruition, brought to life because of me: the real bad motherf—r,” he said. “So most certainly one of those men is on my radar.”
McGregor also issued a recent callout to Frankie Edgar for a fight later in the year.
