Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson took to Twitter last night to promote his new feature film with Apple – ‘The Rock x Siri’ and his HBO series ‘Ballers.’
The Rock also mentioned that he once “considered joining the UFC 10 years ago.” He went on to say that “my goal was Greg Jackson as my coach & 2 full years to train.”
Greg Jackson is one of the MMA world’s most prestigious trainers, having worked with the likes of Jon Jones, Holly Holm, Rashad Evans and arguably one of the greatest pound for pound fighters of all time in George St Pierre.
Rock finished his tweet with “Smartened up ’cause I prefer my jaw in tact.”
Would you have liked to see The Rock step in the cage?
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
