Overview
- White left the door open to the idea during a media scrum at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas on Monday, August 10, saying “anything’s possible” when asked about a women’s BMF belt.
- He did not announce any matchup, belt design, timetable, or formal plan, leaving the proposal as a developing promotional possibility rather than a confirmed project.
- White explicitly ruled out adding new women’s weight classes such as a 105‑pound atomweight, saying new divisions would disrupt the existing strawweight, flyweight, and bantamweight ladders.
- The men’s BMF belt started as a one‑off spectacle in 2019 and has since been reused for high‑profile fights; Charles Oliveira currently holds the men’s BMF belt after winning it at UFC 326.
- Several top women fighters have previously suggested BMF‑style matchups, and the UFC would likely need a clear, fan‑driven pairing to make a women’s BMF fight commercially viable.
