The Rock finally got to meet UFC fighter with only $7 to his name, the footage is so wholesome.
Dwayne Johnson flew out to Miami to surprise UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo at his MMA gym.
The Rock had heard about Gorimbo’s story and wanted to meet him.
Gorimbo secured his first UFC victory in May against Takashi Sato and openly spoke about only having $7.00 to his name before the win.
This is f’n crazy to see and brings back many emotions and memories.
$7.49 in this fighter’s bank account.
I once had $7 bucks too. I’ve been there on that grind.
Got your back, brother. I’ll help.
You got this. I’ll be in touch @TheAnswerMMA #hardestworkersintheroom https://t.co/C2gn1j7OQF— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) June 10, 2023
