Dwayne Johnson lends a helping hand to Themba Gorimbo

When Gorimbo appeared in the press conference of UFC Vegas 73, he, first of all, thanked Colby Covington during the press conference, claiming that the UFC welterweight star brought food for him during training sessions. When Johnson learned about ‘The Answer’s’ helpless situation, it reminded him of his own financial struggles growing up.

The Hollywood star often found himself shoplifting because he couldn’t afford it. Meanwhile, Johnson shared a tweet for Gorimbo, claiming that the latter’s situation brought back old memories. Johnson promised to lend a helping hand to Gorimbo and that he will soon be in touch with the African star. Johnson wrote: “Got your back, brother. I’ll help. You got this. I’ll be in touch.” Furthermore, ‘The Rock’ had just suffered a loss of around $60,000,000 with the XFL.
