Some have even opined that the BMF belt has failed to serve its purpose at UFC 326 and, therefore, must be retired.

Luke Rockhold, on the other hand, has better plans.

Luke Rockhold wants Max Holloway vs. King Green for the UFC BMF title

On the JAXXON Podcast, former UFC middleweight titleholder Luke Rockhold suggested something wild. Rockhold wants the UFC to take the BMF belt away from Charles Oliveira and have Max Holloway and MMA veteran King Green fight for the belt.

Green is currently riding a three-fight winning streak, and this past weekend at UFC 328, he submitted Jeremy Stephens in Round 1 to prove that even at 39 years old, he still has plenty left in the tank.
Meanwhile, Rockhold, who wants to see Green vs. Holloway for the BMF title, quipped:

“I think you strip the belt from [Charles] Oliveira and you give it back to Max [Holloway] and make you two boys fight for the real BMF belt… You [King Green] deserve that, and Oliveira doesn’t deserve it. I like Oliveira as a fighter, but you don’t fight like that and get a BMF belt. You create a BMF belt to have a real fight.”

Meanwhile, Green added:

“I definitely got my eyes on the BMF. I want to do that.”
