One of the biggest things coming out of UFC 244 earlier this month was the involvement of The Rock. The WWE legend and Hollywood mega-star was present to wrap the Baddest Mother F*cker Championship around the waist of the winner.

When it was all said and done, Masvidal emerged victorious via TKO by way of a Doctor Stoppage. After the fight, Diaz jokingly called The Rock out for being biased towards Masvidal, given the pair are both from Miami. (H/T BJPenn.com)

”F**k The Rock too, man,” Diaz said after losing to Masvidal at UFC 244. “That motherf**ker over here playing me. See him over here smiling with Masvidal. Should have had Mike Tyson handing out a belt if anybody. I don’t give a f**k about any belt anyway, but he can get it too.”

Speaking on “The Ariel Helwani MMA Show” today (Mon. November 11, 2019), The Rock responded to Diaz’s comments, and completely understood where he was coming from. (H/T MMA News)

“I wasn’t surprised at Nate’s comments because that’s the Nate that we all know and love,” Johnson said. “He is as advertised. Nate, he gets it. He knows that me and Jorge we’re boys, we’re from Miami. We have a lot of deep connections down there.

“A lot of the fighters we know, a lot of the coaches and trainers that we know, a lot of the gyms that we’ve been to down there. So there’s a connection, so no I was totally fine with it. He gets it.”

Despite his connection to Masvidal, The Rock said he was trying to keep his involvement in UFC 244 as neutral as possible.

“Again I went into the fight, I wanted to be as neutral as possible when I was promoting it because as we’re leading up to it and selling it on pay-per-view I didn’t want to come out and say, ‘Jorge’s my boy and he’s gonna win,’” Rock said.

“No, I just wanted to be neutral and I thought that was the best, smartest, strategic play to get as many new eyes on this fight as possible and again help impact in my own little way the bottom line.

“From what I’m told, since UFC’s transition it was the biggest fight they’ve ever had, second I’m sorry, to Conor and Khabib which is quite an amazing accomplishment. I’m very proud for both those guys.”

Over the weekend (Sat. November 2, 2019) WWE legend and Hollywood star The Rock was in attendance for UFC 244 in New York City. The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson, presented Jorge Masvidal with the Baddest Mother F*cker Championship.

Johnson took to Instagram recently to reflect on his involvement in the Madison Square Garden show. Here’s what he had to say.

“Man, as many of you know (and witnessed) I’ve had the cool honor to raise many heavyweight titles over my head at the @thegarden from my wild pro wrestling career.
This one was special and super f’n cool. The @ufc crowd energy was next level. As was my gratitude.”

Johnson then took to Instagram to praise Masvidal, his fellow Miami native, who topped Nate Diaz for the BMF Title.

“My brotha @gamebredfighter looked sharp in that octagon. Evolved skill set. Rare air. Promise kept. The Baddest Muthaf*cka on the planet. Congrats @gamebredfighter.”

“Away from all the noise, good to have a quiet moment. I’m always impressed with an individual’s discipline and commitment to succeed. But I’m impressed more with how one handles their success and that level of intense pressure to be #1. Congrats @gamebredfighter for being that example, raising the bar and getting the job done. My goal was to help promote this fight as much as I could in hopes that. Jorge, @natediaz209 and all the fighters could make as much money?as possible at the Garden – that was completely sold out. Congrats! Thanks brotha for having the brilliant idea to have me present the BMF Title to you. Always got you. Hardest workers in the room. BMF in the game. Now go destroy some MF’n cheat meals “

Masvidal and Diaz main evented the UFC 244 event, where “Gamebred” seemingly dominated the first three rounds. While Diaz got his shots in, the Stockton native was cut up very bad, dropped several times, and nearly finished on a number of occasions. Despite picking up the pace late in the third round, the doctor decided to stop the fight due to Diaz’s two massive cuts on his eye.

Diaz and Masvidal both want a rematch, but UFC president Dana White has expressed no interest in such a fight.
