Carlos Barreto Suggests BMF Title Contests Need Different Rules

Oh boy, here we go. So, there’s this big shot from Brazil, right? He’s got a bone to pick with the UFC. Says they’re messing up by making the “BMF” belt fight just like any other. I mean, come on. It’s the “BMF” belt we’re talking about!

Carlos Barreto’s the name. Used to throw down in the Octagon himself. Now? He’s the voice of UFC Fight Pass in Brazil. And guess what? He’s got Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway on his mind. They’re duking it out for the “BMF” title at UFC 300. Barreto spilled the beans on his YouTube show, “Papo de Luta.” Says the fight could be a snooze fest if they stick to the usual rules.

Barreto’s thinking? Make it wild. Like the old vale tudo days. “Imagine,” he says, “a ‘BMF’ fight where it’s all about the takedown and playing it safe. Nah, that ain’t it.” He wants them to bite down on that mouthpiece and just go to war.

Now, about Gaethje being the favorite. Barreto nods along. He’s got Gaethje pegged at -155. But don’t count Holloway out. Technically, he’s top-notch. Barreto’s a fan of both. Puts Gaethje in the “most entertaining” box and Holloway in the “outclass” category. Legends, both of them.

But here’s the kicker. Gaethje’s got the power, the kind that sends you to dreamland with one hit. Holloway? Super skilled, but not a one-punch wonder. And he’s stepping up a weight class. Barreto’s betting on a bloodbath, with Gaethje as the man to beat.
