UFC president Dana White said that The Rock will be at UFC 244 on November 2 to present the new “BMF” championship belt to the winner of the Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal fight.
UFC 244 will take place at Madison Square Garden on November 2.
The BMF (Baddest Mother Fucker) title is being made specifically for the Diaz vs. Masvidal fight and is a one-off special title that won’t be defended after that fight.
After Jorge Masvidal said that he wanted The Rock to put the title on his waist after he won it, The Rock said that he’s “doing all I can” to be at the fight and will put the belt around the winner’s waist.
Doing all I can to make this fight. If I can and you win, I’ll put the belt around your waist at MSG – consider it done. Already shaping up to be one of the biggest and most electrifying fights in @ufc history. Can’t wait. @GamebredFighter @NateDiaz209 #respect #BMF #UFC244 ⚡️ https://t.co/nVTIeBtkgv
