“It’s something I wanted to tell the UFC fans and the MMA community first and I can’t wait,” Johnson said
While he wouldn’t drop any hints about what that announcement might be about, Johnson also refrained from picking a winner in Saturday night’s main event.
“I just want to see a great fight,” Johnson said. “I think this addition to the company and the brand and to this sport — this BMF belt — I think it’s brilliant, I think it’s so smart and I think it’s fun. It’s fun for the fighters. It gives them some juice.”
What do you think The Rock will tell the millions — and millions — of fans tuning in to his announcement?
