Dana White may have said the “BMF” belt is a “one and done”, but Conor McGregor has seemingly thrown himself into the imaginary division.

Jorge Masvidal fights Nate Diaz for the honour of being crowned the “baddest [expletive]” in the main event of UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden on November 2.

There’s even a “BMF” title belt, which will be wrapped around the waist of the winner by none other than WWE legend and Hollywood icon Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

“I designed that ‘Bad [expletive]’ belt,” McGregor said on Tuesday at a sponsor’s event in Kiev, Ukraine. “I actually designed that. I signed off on the design of how they are creating that belt.”
