WWE legend and movie star The Rock has confirmed that he will in fact be in attendance for UFC 244 this Saturday.

UFC 244 takes place in Madison Square Garden, New York, and will be headlined by a BMF title fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. Last month, Masvidal called for The Rock to wrap the belt around his waist if he were to emerge victorious and the latter was certainly receptive to the idea as was UFC president Dana White.

And it looks set to be the case as The Rock confirmed Tuesday that he would be putting the belt on the waist of the winner.

“This addition to the company and the brand and to the sport, this BMF belt, I think it’s brilliant,” Johnson said in an Instagram live video (via ESPN). “It’s so smart and it’s just fun, man.”

It doesn’t end there. With the UFC holding a press conference this Friday for UFC 245, The Rock also added that he will be there to announce “something I wanted to tell the UFC fans and MMA community first.” 

As of now, there’s no guesses on what the announcement could be. However, what’s for sure is that UFC 244 promises to be an explosive event.

“That place is gonna be rocking, it’s gonna be electrifying,” Johnson said. “I can’t wait to get in there, man.”

Hollywood megastar and WWE legend The Rock has been very open about his support for fellow Miami native Jorge Masvidal.

At UFC 244 in New York City, live on pay-per-view (PPV), Masvidal will step into the cage to headline the Madison Square Garden card against Nate Diaz. The winner will be awarded the Baddest Mother F*cker Championship – a one-off belt being created by the Las Vegas-based promotion.

Jorge Masvidal Wants The Rock To Put The BMF Belt Around His Waist

Jorge Masvidal has, arguably, the biggest fight of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career coming up.

Masvidal will take on Nate Diaz in the main event of the UFC 244 pay-per-view (PPV) from Madison Square Garden on November 2. Diaz called Masvidal out after his UFC 241 win over Anthony “Showtime” Pettis in California. He also proclaimed himself the UFC’s “Baddest Mother F*cker Champion,” and said he’ll defend his title against Masvidal next.

UFC President Dana White said he’s actually going to get a BMF belt made for the matchup, and award it to the winner. However, it won’t be defended again, as the title will simply be a one-off. Masvidal is obviously extremely confident he’ll leave MSG as the BMF Champion. He also might have a fellow Miami native in the house cheering him on in The Rock.

The former WWE star and Hollywood megastar recently noted he might have to show up to watch Masvidal vs. Diaz in person. Responding to The Rock’s comments on Twitter, Masvidal said, if The Rock is in the building, and he emerges victorious, “Gamebred” wants The Rock to wrap the BMF belt around his waist.

Jorge Masvidal is getting a ton of attention after destroying Ben Askren at UFC 239 this past weekend (Sat. July 6, 2019).

“Gamebred” put Askren away with a flying knee in five seconds as “Funky” shot in on an immediate takedown. It officially went down as the fastest knockout in UFC history. Recently, Masvidal took to Twitter to shout out former WWE star and current Hollywood star The Rock, asking him if he smelled the three-piece at UFC 239.

The Rock actually responded to Masvidal, praising his fellow Miami native with the following:

“You know I did brother. You served em cold and violent – the necessary way. Big luv. #miami #AndNew

Masvidal has capitalized well off the record-setting knockout. He recently took to “The Dan LeBatard Showto call out Conor McGregor. There’s also the possibility that Masvidal challenges UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for the title next.

If that fight doesn’t materialize, fights with the likes of Tyron Woodley or the winner of Colby Covington vs. Robbie Lawler are also options. However, should Covington emerge victorious, that would mean “Gamebred” has to fight one of his best friends and teammates. It will certainly be interesting to see what’s next for the former street fighter.

Conor McGregor Receives Praise From The Rock On Instagram

The Rock appears to be quite a fan of Conor McGregor.

The post Conor McGregor Receives Praise From The Rock On Instagram appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Following an outburst at a UFC 223 media day last month that landed him in a Brooklyn jail, former two-division UFC world champion Conor McGregor has received quite a bit of criticism, but more recently, he received some positive comments from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

McGregor then responded, thanking Johnson and offering up some praise of his own.

The “Notorious” one, who will appear in court next month, hasn’t competed inside of the Octagon since November 2016 when he viciously knocked out Eddie Alvarez in the main event of UFC 205 to not only become the promotion’s lightweight champion, but to become the first fighter in promotional history to hold two titles in two different weight classes at one time.

Following that fight, McGregor dropped a 10th round TKO defeat to the legendary Floyd Mayweather in a highly publicized boxing match last August.

His fighting future is currently unclear.
