Dana White has released the first images of the BMF title that Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz will be fighting for at UFC 244.

The brand spanking new BMF (baddest motherf**ker) title has been introduced for the blockbuster clash between Masvidal and Diaz.

The belt costs a whopping $50,000 (£39,000) and 'The Rock', real name Dwayne Johnson, will present the title to the winner.

And ahead of the action star wrapping the title around Masvidal or Diaz's waist, the UFC president has shared a teaser of the BMF strap.

He's uploaded a video that sees snippets of the new UFC title, which is a one-and-done belt, accompanied with voice overs from White himself as well as Masvidal and Diaz.

Meanwhile, Johnson will be in attendance inside Madison Square Garden and he has also teased a special announcement for MMA fans at Friday's press conference, saying it's "something I wanted to tell the UFC fans and MMA community first."

He added: "This addition to the company and the brand and to the sport, this BMF belt, I think it's brilliant. It's so smart and it's just fun, man. That place is gonna be rocking, it's gonna be electrifying. I can't wait to get in there, man."
