Themba TL Gorimbo gained a lot of fame recently after his association with Dwayne Johnson. After learning about his background and struggles, the Hollywood superstar purchased a house for the fighter to help him train. The 33-year-old since then has made remarkable progress and is now all set to feature at UFC Vegas 85.

In a recent Twitter video, Gorimbo took time out to thank his wife for helping him during his time of struggle. The entire video highlights the sacrifices made by the couple and, especially, his wife. Let us find out what the 33-year-old had to say about his journey! 

‘The Answer’ shared a heartwarming glimpse of his wife’s hard work

UFC fighters are known for their ability to fight inside the Octagon. However, their family sacrifices a lot outside the Octagon to make things happen. A recent video on Twitter shared by Gorimbo highlighted the sacrifices made by his wife during his time of struggle. The 33-year-old is known to come from a humble background and make a name for himself in the fighting world. 

While acknowledging his better half’s contributions, the fighter said: “My man, I love my wife. She makes me coffee at half -past three in the morning, every day, no complaints.” The 33-year-old also received help from Hollywood Superstar Dwayne Johnson, who promised that he would become a UFC Champion one day. In an incredible gesture of benevolence, ‘The Rock’ gifted him with training gear.

And, it seems, the push from his wife and Dwayne Johnson didn’t go to waste as Gorimbo recently clinched a victory against Takashi Sato. And now the African fighter is ready to take on his next opponent. But whom will he face next? 

Who will Themba T L Gorimbo face next in his career?
