What they’re saying

“If you look at my shirt, the real BMF is my wife. I would love her to wrap the belt around me. So if everything goes great there, you best believe I'm going to be asking Dana White. I'm going to be like, 'Hey Dana, let my wife do this. She's the real BMF.' Everybody thinks I'm the BMF because of the title. You don't want no smoke with her, I promise.”

— Max Holloway
