It's time.

Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford for the undisputed welterweight championship.

The The Baddest Motherf— belt is on the line Saturday night at UFC 291.

Created in 2019, the BMF belt was based almost entirely on the excitement fighters bring inside and outside the octagon.

And both Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje fit the mold.

Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford will not only decide who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world — but who'll be the first to simultaneously hold all four belts at 147 pounds.

And boxing fans deserve this more often.

The only way to hold boxing fans' attention is by consistently giving fans what they want:

Justin Gaethje's approach in the cage is exactly why the BMF belt — which stands for Baddest Motherf—— was created in 2019.

And it’s a primary reason why he’s fighting Dustin Poirier for the belt in the main event of UFC 291 on Saturday.

Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have been on a collision course for years, but the politics of boxing have delayed a head-to-head bout.

Until now.
