Dwayne Johnson is currently a big name in the world of UFC because of his ‘Project Rock’ brand deal with the promotion. A few UFC fighters and fans shared their criticisms for making this deal, which pays nothing to the fighters.

However, a particular UFC fighter once again called out ‘The Rock’ over this deal. He claims Johnson knows how it feels when athletes aren’t getting paid for promoting something but, supporting the fighters.

Recently, UFC’s Terrance McKinney took a shot at Dwayne Johnson by replying to a Twitter post of ‘MMA Junkie’. The clip that ‘MMA Junkie’ shared in their tweet quoting Mike Bohn spoke about the MMA promotion not giving a percentage to their fighters.

McKinney listening to it shared, “Dear @TheRock I wrote you but you still ain’t callin lol Na but for real this is definitely the problem Rock was a cog in the machine of WWE so he knows what it’s like to get told what to do so you’d think he wouldn’t turn around and do it to someone else but here we are”

The 28-year-old UFC fighter wants Johnson to interfere in the corporate deal and make sure the fighters get their share. Moreover, he stated The Rock would understand how it is being told to do something because of his experience in WWE. So, as per McKinney, Johnson should support the fighters but feels he isn’t.

A few days ago, McKinney had taken a shot at Johnson on Twitter. He took a dig at DJ saying he won’t reply to his tweets but posted other stuff on his Twitter.

After, Nate Diaz and many other UFC fighters started publicly calling out The Rock over the deal. Similarly, McKinney too did the same. However, unlike others, he posted a message politely so that Dwayne Johnson could reply, hoping this tweet wasn’t harsh. 

The lightweight fighter wrote if The Rock wanted to make a good deal, he should do it in the favor of the fighters.
