Earlier this month, the biggest fight of the year took place and it wasn’t even for a legitimate UFC title. At UFC 244, Jorge Masvidal took on Nate Diaz for the one-off promotional BMF title - the brainchild of Diaz - at Madison Square Garden and such was the cultural magnitude of the fight that the biggest movie star in the world, former WWE champion Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was brought in to coronate the winner of the fight.
A long time fan of MMA, The Rock is even set to produce and star in a film about the life of former champion Mark Kerr and speaking with Ariel Helwani of ESPN, Johnson discussed his experience at UFC 244 and Madison Square Garden, an arena he has himself performed in many times.
