King Green handed BMF title opportunity

King Green could be getting a BMF title shot next.

The BMF title, once a symbol of the UFC's excitement, has lost its luster in recent times. King Green, a seasoned fighter now 40 years old, sees an opportunity to revive the championship's reputation. The title used to mean something special, a big, unpredictable fight that fans loved. However, recent BMF bouts have failed to meet expectations, leaving viewers disappointed and the title losing its appeal.

King Green's career has taken a turn for the better recently. After a string of four losses from late 2023 to early 2025, all by stoppage, he is now enjoying a four-fight win streak. This resurgence has caught the attention of UFC President Dana White, who expressed support for Green competing for the BMF title. During a pre-fight press conference, White indicated that the BMF could return to its original purpose: a championship for fighters who prioritize entertaining the fans, regardless of their opponent or venue.

Charles Oliveira currently holds the BMF title, but his performance has been less than impressive. Nevertheless, Green sees himself as the perfect candidate to inject new energy into an aspect of the sport that has lost its spark.
