UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock meant no disrespect to Jorge Masvidal or Nate Diaz when he criticized the “BMF” title created by the UFC. He couldn’t help himself.
As an MMA pioneer who’d repeatedly fought multiple times in one night with few rules and no gloves, he found the idea of declaring the winner of a fully sanctioned fight a “bad MF,” well, quaint.
“I’m not taking anything from them, because all these guys would whip my butt right now,” Shamrock told MMA Fighting. “All I’m saying is compared to what we had to go through, getting kicked in the face, punched in the back of the head with no gloves, no rules, no time limit, four times in one night, yes, it’s funny.
