Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Buys House for UFC Fighter Living at the Gym

🥋MMA fighter 🥊Themba Gorimbo received a special gift from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Thursday — a new home. 

According to Fox News, Johnson heard Gorimbo’s story in June and was so impressed that he determined to reward him for his dedication and hard work.

Johnson said, “Your story moved me. When I found out you had seven bucks in your bank account — I know what that’s like. I was here in Miami when I had seven bucks.”

“But then, you win your fight, and you sell your fight kit, you buy a water well for your village in Zimbabwe so your people can have clean water. Because you could have taken that money and put it down on a car, on an apartment,” he went on.

Johnson also noted, “You took care of your people, and that just says exactly who you are and that’s why I flew all the way in, man, just to look you in the eyes, brother, and tell you I got your back.”

Gorimbo was orphaned as a child and nearly died while working as a diamond miner for an illegal operation in Zimbabwe.

He moved to Miami in search of new opportunities, but the 32-year-old fighter was sleeping on the couch at his training gym and had just $7 to his name before winning against Takashi Sato in May.

The UFC reported on Gorimbo’s journey, noting that he began fighting in 2010 and went pro in 2013 but lost.
