Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has revealed he will make an announcement at a UFC press conference on Friday.
The former WWE star will be present at the event to formally announce the final card of the year; UFC 245 in Las Vegas on December 14.
And he told UFC president Dana White on Instagram : "I've got an announcement for the press conference this Friday.
"It's something I wanted to tell the fans and the MMA community first."
On Saturday night, The Rock will present the winner of the main event at UFC 244 between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal with the 'Baddest Motherf*****' belt.
The prize has been specially commissioned for this fight and will also be unveiled at the press conference on Friday.
When asked how he sees the fight playing out, The Rock added: "I learned a long time ago in terms of combat sports, in boxing and in MMA, especially at this level with two guys who are so skilled and respected in Masvidal and Diaz, that I just want a good fight.
"Everyone's got a puncher's chance. I'm such a fan of MMA that I have too much respect for the guys and girls who put it all on the line to say who's going to win.
"I just want to see a great fight, the addition of the BMF belt is brilliant, it's so smart and it's fun; it's fun for the fighters, it gives them some juice to go out there and Madison Square Garden is the perfect place for this fight; that place is going to be rocking and I can't wait to get in there.
"Both of these guys have been around the game for a long time... with Diaz, you're not going to knock him out and you're not going to submit him - he'd rather die before he submits.
"And Masvidal's legend is legit, that is a bad dude coming out of south Florida."
