Watch The Rock Appear At UFC 244, Pose With Masvidal After Win

WWE legend The Rock made an appearance at UFC 244 as he was selected to introduce the ‘BMF Championship’. He made his entrance using his WWE theme song and received an astounding ovation from the crowd.

The new BMF title was specially created for this fight between Diaz and Masvidal. Both fighters are hugely popular among fight fans and UFC chief Dana White believed that a fight of this magnitude deserved it’s own belt. The result of the fight saw the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) calling off the contest before it could reach the championship rounds based on the damage incurred across the first 15 minutes of action. Masvidal was declared the winner and posed with The Rock as seen below.

The loser of the bout, Nate Diaz, was visibly upset afterwards and had some comments about The Rock taking sides. Diaz said, “F*** him [The Rock]. He’s cool. I like Ballers, but he picked the wrong side.” Check that out below.
