‘Future UFC Champion’: Dwayne Johnson is investing in 32-year-old MMA fighter who will follow in the footsteps of Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards

Leon Edwards is the current UFC welterweight champion, and Kamaru Usman previously held the same title. Both stars have reputations that precede them. Nevertheless, Dwayne Johnson believes that another welterweight MMA fighter will achieve the same success as both of them, and even one day take the UFC welterweight title into his hands.

Have you already guessed who we are talking about here? If you guessed what it is Temba Gorimbo, then you are absolutely right. As you know, Johnson holds a special place in his heart for Gorimbo because they have both faced similar challenges in the past.

Dwayne Johnson admires Themba Gorimbo

BBC Sports World Service recently highlighted Gorimbo’s rags to riches story on their Twitter page. You all know how big a role Johnson played in lifting the 32-year-old MMA fighter out of poverty. In response to the BBC’s tweet, Johnson thanked them for their post.

Highlighting Gorimbo’s best qualities, he stated that Gorimbo impressed him with his hard work and dedication, so he decided to help him. He added that Gorimbo dreams of one day becoming a UFC champion and he is rooting for him. Johnson is fully confident that Gorimbo will soon become a future champion.

Johnson has a good heart and it shows how much he admires Gorimbo. Only a jeweler knows the true price of a diamond. Johnson, being a jeweler, realized how great the Gorimbo diamond was and helped it shine brighter. The DJ promised to help him and fulfilled his task.

The Zimbabwean said The Rock contacted him on Twitter when he told him he only had $7.49 in his account. As for his own “seven bucks” story, DJ gifted him a new home after being impressed by the selfless gesture.

Despite the fact that Gorimbo was broke, he gave his earnings to those in need.

Gorimbo came into the spotlight after winning his first fight at UFC Vegas 73 against Takashi Sato. Born in Masvingo, Zimbabwe, he knew first-hand the struggles of the people there. He lost his parents and at a very young age resorted to illegal diamond mining to make ends meet. This unfortunate fate consumed many lives in his homeland.

Gorimbo’s generous heart led him to donate all his prize money ($7,000) to build a water pump for underprivileged children at home. With only $7 in his pocket, he came to the United States and was forced to live in a gym due to lack of funds to buy a house.
