Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz are set to headline the upcoming UFC 244 card, with the winner becoming the inaugural BMF Champion.
Former WWE Universal Champion and acting legend The Rock not only wants to attend UFC 244, but would like to present the BMF Title to whomever is victorious between Masvidal and Diaz.
It all began on Twitter when Masvidal told the UFC that he wanted The Rock at the event to put the gold around the fighter’s waist:

The Rock would respond on Twitter, saying that he’ll try to be at the event to present the gold to whomever is victorious:
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
