Dana White reveals The Rock will present Diaz vs Masvidal winner with $50,000 BMF belt at UFC 244
The Rock will attend Madison Square Garden on November 2 and will present the BMF belt to the winner of UFC 244's main event, Dana White has confirmed.
UFC 244 is headlined by a welterweight fight as Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal lock horns in the octagon.
The winner of the bout will take home the promotion's new 'BMF Belt'.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, UFC president White confirmed his plans to have Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson take part in the highly anticipated pay-per-view event and also revealed how much the belt would be worth.
White said: “I think the belt is like fifty grand ($50,000.00).
“He [The Rock] is going to (hand out the BMF Belt). He is taking my job for the night. If The Rock wants to do it, The Rock gets what The Rock wants.”
Diaz last defended his BMF belt with a decision victory over former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis at UFC 241 in August.
This was Diaz's first fight in three years, with his fight before that against Conor McGregor at UFC 202 in August 2016.
Diaz's opponent was most recently seen in action at UFC 239 in July, where he recorded the fastest knockout in promotional history.
