The BMF title is under serious backlash following UFC 326. Both fans and fighters are urging Dana White and the company to either change the rules of their Baddest Motherf***er championship fights or completely scrap the belt altogether.

After announcing the matchup, most expected the Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira rematch to contend for fight of the year honors. The pair have cemented themselves as fan-favorites over the years, and both undoubtedly sit among the greats for most entertaining fight style in the UFC. Everything was pointing toward the bout being an all-timer, but the unpredictability of MMA struck again.

Instead of a war on the feet, Oliveira implemented a grappling-heavy style that neutralized Holloway's offense for the entire 25-minute affair. The widespread excitement for the fight quickly dissolved as the clash unfolded. Fighters and fans alike made their feelings known, led by Ryan Garcia's frustrations.

"BMF or let's just roll on the ground the whole time," Garcia said as he began his UFC 326 rant. "Just like Turki called out boring boxing fights. Ima call this out, no one wants to see that, casual MMA fans like myself don't want to see what I just had to endure for 25 minutes straight. That's all the UFC is now who can wrestle the best and control the ground. It's boring."

#UFC326 was one of the worst numbered events in UFC history. Just a terrible card. Boring fights all night long. I hope Dana rips into these guys. The fans deserved better.

The negativity poured in, and Ryan Garcia's rant wasn't over just yet. The WBC welterweight champion believes the BMF strap should be cut from the organization completely.

"BMF needs to be required to stand and bang, that's it," Garcia continued. "If I was Dana White, I'd get rid of the BMF title no need for it anymore. I don't even really understand it and feels like some random weird thing in the UFC."
