One of the biggest names in the movie industry, The Rock came from very humble beginnings. After suffering a setback in his football career, Dwayne Johnson would venture into the pro wrestling industry and eventually Hollywood to make a name for himself. Johnson also started several business ventures and even became a part of some of the biggest businesses out there.

The deal was one of the most controversial ones and saw UFC athletes being paid very little. His partnership with Under Armour saw him make a deal with UFC, where his footwear would be used as UFC’s official footwear.

However, he would then come back with an appropriate answer and state, “His shoes was good. You know, I believe I should be a partner that should do a commercial with me.” A couple of months ago, The Rock was in a lot of heat because of his shoe deal, and Nate Diaz’s comments on Dwayne Johnson‘s shoes. However, things now seem to have changed.

At the same press conference, the journalist would ask Lewis, how he would pitch his idea for a commercial to The Rock. To which, Lewis came up with a hilarious answer. He said, “It’d be like, ‘say jabroni I need to be a spokesperson for your shoes. You know. I haven’t had a chance to drink your tequila or whatever but I heard it’s amazing. So, you know, let me be a part of the team.”

However, he further also suggested an alternate situation, where The Rock might reject his approach. Lewis said, “If not, you already know the answer. F**k you.” Derrick Lewis will face Sergey Spivak at UFC Fight Night 215 on 19th November, 2022.
