Dana White has announced that the UFC is working on an upcoming BMF title fight. While he did not confirm whether this fight would be alongside a featherweight title fight featuring Ilia Topuria at UFC 302, he did express his satisfaction that Topuria respects the BMF belt and wants to fight for it. There is speculation that the potential BMF title bout could feature Michael Chandler versus Max Holloway at UFC 303, particularly if there are issues with Conor McGregor's participation.
