Do you smell what “The Rock” is cookin’? You will on Monday.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Hollywood’s biggest action star and the man who recently strapped the “BMF” title around the waist of Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244, will lead off Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, beginning at 1 p.m. ET.
But that’s not the only intriguing personality scheduled for Monday’s show. The popular Nick Diaz conducted his first interview with Helwani in five years.
Also set to appear include UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic, former UFC titleholders Tyron Woodley and Rose Namajunas, top heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou and Demian Maia and Katlyn Chookagian, both of whom are on hot streaks.
