In other news on The Great One, the former WWE Champion responded to a tweet from UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal this week and said he's trying to make Masvidal's UFC 244 main event fight against Nate Diaz at Madison Square Garden on November 2. The fight will be for Diaz's "BMF" belt.

Masvidal, who also claims Miami like The Rock, noted that he was going to tell UFC President Dana White that he wanted Rock to be the one to put the BMF Title around his waist. He wrote, "@TheRock I'm telling @danawhite i want you to put it around my waist 305 all day #supernecessary"

Rock responded and said he's up for the gig. He wrote, "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 @GamebredFighter @NateDiaz209 #respect #BMF #UFC244"
