UFC: The Rock wants to put ‘BMF’ title belt around Jorge Masvidal’s waist if he beats Nate Diaz
- Hollywood icon Dwayne Johnson says he’s ‘doing all I can’ to make it to UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden
- WWE legend ‘can’t wait’ for Diaz fight on November 2
Ask and you shall receive – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is down for crowning Jorge Masvidal as the “baddest [expletive]” in the UFC if he beats Nate Diaz.
Johnson had initially expressed his desire to be at Madison Square Garden for the blockbuster fight on November 2, after the UFC made it official last weekend – with a special “BMF” title belt and all.
“I’m telling @danawhite I want you to put it around my waist”, Masvidal tweeted back to Johnson, adding “305 all day” – a reference to their shared hometown of Miami, Florida.
“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,” tweeted the Fast & Furious star.
The Rock is no stranger to the Garden from his time with professional wrestling giants the WWE. Indeed, he made his WWE debut there as Rocky Maivia at Survivor Series in 1996, and won the 2000 royal Rumble at the world famous arena.
