In a recent episode of Good Guy / Bad Guy, Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen discussed the BMF (Baddest Motherf*cker) title and its contenders. Cormier suggested that Aljamain Sterling’s performance at UFC 300 showcased the qualities of a true BMF. However, former Pittsburgh Steeler and Super Bowl champion Ryan Clark had a different take on the matter.
The BMF Title: Striking vs. Grappling
Clark believes that BMF title fights should strictly be striking battles, where two fighters engage in an all-out war. He expressed his disapproval of grappling or wrestling being part of BMF title fights. According to Clark, if Aljamain Sterling were to become the new BMF champion, the title would stand for “Boring Motherf*cker.” He humorously emphasized that grappling doesn’t fit the BMF spirit.
Aljamain Sterling’s Recent Move
Aljamain Sterling recently moved up a weight class to featherweight and dominated Calvin Kattar at UFC 300. His impressive performance caught the attention of fans and fellow fighters. Sterling revealed that Dana White had considered setting up a featherweight title fight between him and Alexander Volkanovski. Although the fight didn’t materialize, Sterling believes he has the size, strength, and skill set to compete with the former champion.

Contract Clauses and Commission Realities
While Clark’s idea of adding a “no grappling” clause to BMF title fight contracts sounds intriguing, Chael Sonnen pointed out that it’s unlikely to happen in reality. The athletic commissions would likely resist such specific clauses. Nevertheless
the debate continues, and fans eagerly await the next BMF title fight, whether it’s a striking showdown or a grappling masterclass.
In summary, Ryan Clark’s playful roast of Aljamain Sterling adds a humorous twist to the BMF title discussion. Whether Sterling will ever vie for the BMF belt remains to be seen, but his recent move up in weight class has certainly raised eyebrows in the MMA community.
