The Rock cuts an electrifying promo for Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz ‘BMF’ title fight

No one quite cuts a promo like The Rock.

Dwayne Johnson will be in New York to wrap the “BMF” belt around the waist of the winner of this Saturday’s UFC 244 headliner between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.

And The Rock took to Instagram to get the millions …and millions amped for the highly anticipated showdown at Madison Square Garden, the same arena in which he had his first pro wrestling match.

Johnson cut a promo in a fashion only The Rock can, ending it by belting his patented “If ya smell!” catchphrase.

Biggest & BADDEST @ufc fight of year this SATURDAY.
@gamebredfighter VS @natediaz209 for the BMF Title.
Nothing but respect for these two OG’s who are gonna light up and electrify Madison Square Garden, as only bad MF’s can.
Looking forward to wrapping the title around the winner.
Gonna be a wild, fun and historic night.
You do not wanna miss this fight.

Before Saturday, The Rock will be on hand for the UFC press conference scheduled for Friday and has promised a big announcement.
