In a video posted on different social media platforms, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson gifts a UFC fighter a new house.
Themba Gorimbo is a mixed martial arts fighter from Zimbabwe, who caught Johnson’s attention when he tweeted that he only had $7 in his bank account earlier this year.
Johnson could relate to Gorimbo’s struggle, because he had the exact same struggle early in his career, also in Miami where Gorimbo is based. In the video, Johnson initially surprises the fighter with a visit at a gym in Miami, before taking him to his new house.
Johnson originally reacted to Gorimbo’s post about his available bank balance on 10 June over Twitter, writing: “I once had $7 bucks too. I’ve been there on that grind. Got your back, brother. I’ll help.”
The former WWE superstar kept his promise.

In the video, it’s shown that Gorimbo sleeps on a couch at a gym.
“That was awesome and amazing. Now I understand why they tell me how big his heart is and what a wonderful human being that man is.”
