UFC 244 is right around the corner and the promotion’s marketing machine is kicking into high gear. Case in point, recently the UFC shared out a new trailer for the card’s highly anticipated, main event bout between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal.
“Who is the BMF?”
Diaz and Masvidal are fighting for the “BMF” title, and yes, the winner will take home a “BMF” belt (which will apparently be awarded by none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson).
Well, as you can see by watching the video below, the UFC is driving hard with the BMF theme (warning: explicit language).
The fight has come together after Diaz defeated Anthony Pettis in August by decision, and called for a bout with Masvidal. In the latter’s last fight, Masvidal set a new UFC record for fastest knockout, by putting away Ben Askren in just five seconds.
