UFC chief Dana White confirms Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will present £40k Baddest Mother F****r belt
DANA WHITE confirmed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will present the £40,000 “Baddest Mother F****r” belt to Nate Diaz or Jorge Masvidal.
Fan-favourite Diaz returned to the cage after three-years out to beat Anthony Pettis in August, and claimed he defended the “Baddest Mother F****r” in the game title.
The Stockton legend then called out Masvidal to defend his made-up crown, with the pair now headlining UFC 244 in New York on November 2.
UFC president White revealed a real belt WILL be made for the fan-friendly clash at Madison Square Garden, costing £40,000 to make.
He told TMZ: “I think it’s gonna be like, I think the belt’s like 50 grand.”
Welterweight Masvidal called for The Rock to put the BMF belt around his waist if he beats Diaz.
And the wrestling legend replied: “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.”
