Jorge Masvidal denies BMF defense: Gamebred explained why he declines Burns’ challenge
On Monday, given the co-main event at UFc 287 is a 3-round match, Burns went on Twitter to request Dana White that put the “BMF” belt on the line and make it a 5 rounds match. And now Masvidal talking to Ariel Helwani on his MMA Hour, when pressed about it he denied the challenge and provided his reasons.
Jorge Masvidal denies BMF defense- ‘Sorry Gilbert’- UFC 287 won’t have Gamebred’s Baddest Mother F** title for a reason. Here’s Why
He stated, “[If] they pay me BMF money, which the UFC ain’t going to up it up for more money, so sorry Gilbert. I already got my contract. I already signed my s***. I could give a f*** less. Three rounds is more than enough I need for Gilbert. I like all the publicity and the extras he’s putting into it, and all that other stuff, but, brother, three rounds is all I need for his a**.”
For the benefit of those who are unaware, the BMF title was a specially made belt created for and given to the victor of the match between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. Burns wanted to fight it at this point, but Gamebred made it obvious that he would not do it, since doing so would require him to pay out more money. Masvidal claims that since the UFC won’t increase the payout, he has to reject it.
