Back on September 11, Zuffa LLC, owners of the UFC, filed to trademark the terms “Baddest Mother F*cker” and “BMF.”
The term has been made famous in the wake of the welterweight matchup between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, which will headline UFC 244 on pay-per-view (PPV) from Madison Square Garden on November 2. Check out a breakdown of the UFC’s attempt to trademark the BMF-related terms, courtesy of Bloody Elbow.
