The People’s Elbow almost made its way to the UFC, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson one of WWE’s biggest ever superstars says that he almost took a more violent career path 10 years ago!
If he had his way he would of been training at Albuquerque, New Mexico, under the tuition of MMA’s top coach, Greg Jackson, however he “smartened up” due to wanting his “jaw intact”.
Yup, I considered @ufc 10yrs ago. My goal was @GregJacksonMMA as my coach & 2 full yrs to train. Smartened up 'cause I prefer my jaw in tact https://t.co/p0Yn9n7MGq

He has also said “There was a time there where I thought, ‘Man, I achieved everything I wanted to achieve in WWE, my movie career is floundering a little bit, what do I do?'” Johnson said. “I was relatively still young; I think I was 34. I thought, ‘Oh, well maybe UFC. Maybe I should do something like that.'”
I think we can all agree that 10years ago The Rock would of give McGregor a run for his money on the self promotion front but avoid the MMA Route seemed a wise choice as he is. It on top of the Forbes list of highest paid actors in 2016.

A movie bout MMA i hope 4 him haha !!!
The rock is coocking!
Fuck this page
too old, his bodybuilding training is too far from mma training. I would love too see young Dwayne in a cage tho.
The mans an athlete and could probably do the job. He would survive in most sports. But brock was better suited with his temperament and it just doesn’t suit him. Making a killing in Hollywood anyway
Rock, this is not a movie or WWE were alot things are fake. You can’t stand out there and talk about a real thing unlike WWE. C.M. PUNK is to talk about MMA not you. C.M. PUNK have more confidence than you.
better keep acting
Don’t do it rocky
Stupid..we have no new news? Just what the rock considered??? He’d got that ass whooped..not Hollywood
Lo matan a la primera pelea jaja
Not gonna happen… waste my time some other way!
Love the rock but stay in your lane Bubba
Whatever

Old news I dunno ,I don’t think the rock would of did much in mma unless he started super young!!
Thats cute
I hope he realizes it isn’t choreographed like the movies and WWE!
Get fuked up!
Dont play yaself!
?????
He wouldn’t stand a chance
And why is that have you seen him fight ?
As a matter of fact, yeah I have and he’s slow as shit
Bruno B Fubar is this legit
the thought did cross his mind a decade ago yeah hahah
Good to know
roids are legit in professional sports, so this would be a o.k. move
From what I know, it was around the same time Batista made his move into mma. Only one fight, but he won and didn’t do too horribly. Dwayne Johnson has trained in mma. He just felt he was too old and too established as an actor to make that move.
