Dwayne Johnson has captured the affection of combat sports lovers. The renowned WWE figure extended a generous hand to an MMA fighter facing tough times, leaving many admirers in awe. The UFC fighter, Themba Gorimbo, highlighted his dire financial situation by sharing that he had only $7.49 in his account prior to triumphing at UFC Vegas 73. Through a social media post, he also added that it was the free meals from the UFC that helped him stay away from starvation. When the Hollywood star came across the plight of Gorimbo, he pledged to help ‘The Answer.’

‘The Rock’ took the initiative to personally meet him at his gym in Florida. The 32-year-old was elated to meet the legendary actor. Upon learning that the UFC fighter had been sleeping at the gym, Johnson gifted him a new home in Miami. Many appreciated Johnson for his kind gesture, and now the UFC boss, Dana White, has joined the list. Let’s find out what White has to say about Johnson’s gracious act.

The gracious act of Dwayne Johnson impressed Dana White

When Themba Gorimbo tweeted about having just $7.49 in his bank account before fighting at UFC Vegas 73, Johnson became highly emotional. He was able to relate to Gorimbo’s situation, as he once had just $7 in his bank account. Following this, Johnson gifted Gorimbo a house in Miami. After learning about the incident, UFC president Dana White was highly impressed by Johnson’s kind gesture.

While talking after Tuesday’s episode of Contender Series, Dana White detailed his thoughts on Johnson buying a house for Gorimbo. He said, “I think that the Rock is incredibly wealthy and he could probably buy everybody on the f*cking roster a house. So yeah, obviously a really nice thing to do. You know he connected with him through the seven bucks thing you know, yeah so awesome.” Presently, the WWE star is facing a $60 million setback from his XFL venture. Nonetheless, he remained committed to helping Gorimbo.
