Before his move to Hollywood, Dwayne Johnson was a full-time wrestler and entertained the fans with his moves. However, Johnson was also involved with the UFC after his Hollywood boom and his association dates back to 2019. Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal fought for the BMF belt at UFC 244, and Johnson was present inside the Octagon to put the belt on the winner (Masvidal’s dominating performance won the fight via knockout because of a third-round stoppage). 

Additionally, when Themba Gorimbo, a promising UFC welterweight shared his struggles on social media, Johnson was quick to come to his aid. In a heartwarming gesture and touched by Gorimbo’s grit and perseverance, Rock gifted him a fully furnished Miami house, that has resonated with millions of fans.
