When the former WWE star first heard of the Zimbabwean fighter’s story of grits, he resonated and empathized with it. Therefore, he extended his helping hand to Gorimbo whose UFC story deeply touched him. In response, the UFC fighter vowed to chase the American dream and never give up on himself.
The MMA fighter, who recently picked his first UFC victory against Takashi Sato, became an orphan at 13. He then ended up becoming a diamond smuggler before ultimately fleeing Zimbabwe to South Africa. There, he got introduced to MMA, which changed his life forever.
The 11-4 record holder not only survived on free meals given by UFC but also slept in the gym. A perfect candidate to realize the American dream, he is already targeting a UFC title in 2024. Also, he reassured his fans that he was back in the USA.
Previously, ‘The Rock’, still reeling from the effects of an enormous $60 million loss from XFL, conveyed shock as he discovered about the African fighter. He then reflected back on his own journey to stardom, which also started with $7 bucks.
What do you think of this heartwarming exchange between two stars who both started their journey with $7?
