WWE superstar-turned-Hollywood A-lister Dwayne Johnson once extended his support to UFC star Molly McCann to become a UFC champion in 2022. However, ‘Meatball’ suffered her second loss in a row at UFC London last weekend. Shortly after, fans took aim at ‘The Rock’s Tweet for McCann from a year ago in a recent Reddit post.

Molly McCann and ‘The Rock’ engaged in a light-hearted conversation on Twitter in 2022. Besides, the Hollywood star has often been seen interacting with UFC fighters and even signed a deal with the promotion in early 2022. However, his conversation with McCann on Twitter involved the British fighter asking the WWE legend for one of his signature moves – The People’s Elbow.

‘Meatball’ asked Dwayne Johnson if she can borrow his WWE move for her UFC fights. ‘The Rock’ had no problems with that and graciously gave McCann permission to do so. Weeks after that Twitter interaction, he shared a tweet extending his support for the flyweight fighter. ‘The Rock’ wished to see Molly McCann become a UFC champion in the future. However, following that tweet, she lost a fight at UFC 281 to Erin Blanchfield.

Moreover, last weekend, ‘The Rock’s permission to use the People’s Elbow came to haunt her as she lost yet another fight. This time, McCann had her arm stretched out by Julija Stoliarenko in a 1st-round submission loss at UFC London. Johnson’s tweet resurfaced on social media and has left UFC fans in splits. Let us see what they had to say about that.

The fans were having a field day after ‘The Rock’s tweet resurfaced online.

• Dwayne doesn’t know jack sh*t about fighting
• The Rock need to take a break
• Common Rock L
• God damn the rock is just cringey now
• I believe that elbow belongs to Mrs. Storialenko!
• “And new” to Bellator maybe
• How much you think the UFC paid him to say this?

Molly McCann suffered her second consecutive loss in the same fashion – a submission loss in the 1st round. She is already 33 years old, where most fighters are at the peak of their prime. Most fans believe that McCann needs to bounce back quickly if she ever hopes to become a UFC champion. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
