LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — “The Rock” was happy that his guy won.
Themba Gorimbo notched his first UFC stoppage at UFC Vegas 85 last night (Sat., Feb. 3, 2024), knocking out Pete Rodriguez in 36 seconds flat with a nasty right hand followed by ground-and-pound from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada (watch highlights).
For some reason, Gorimbo didn’t earn a “Performance of the Night” bonus. But, perhaps that’s because Gorimbo was surprised with a brand new Florida house by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson last year after his first UFC win because of their similar stories.
And ever since, “The Rock” has been his biggest supporter.
Before Gorimbo competed on Saturday, “The Rock” sent him a text message, and during his post-fight interview with the media, “The Answer” revealed that he was crying while warming up because of the text.
according to him, will fight for the Welterweight title by the end of the year.
