Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson took time from his wild schedule to surprise UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo at his MMA gym in south Florida.
Gorimbo made his UFC debut earlier this year, falling short against AJ Fletcher by unanimous decision. However, he bounced back in a big way by picking up his first win in the Octagon against Takashi Sato in May.
Gorimbo, born in Zimbabwe before emigrating to the United States, spoke after his first UFC win about having just $7.00 in his bank account before the fight. Many around the MMA community stepped up to help Gorimbo as he begins his UFC tenure.
One of those who offered to help was Johnson, who reached out to Gorimbo for guidance and aid. After the two introduced themselves on social media, they had the chance to meet by surprise.
