In his recent interview with Matt Serra and Jim Norton on the UFC Unfiltered podcast, former WWE superstar The Rock admitted that he once pondered a possible career in mixed martial arts (MMA) back in 2004:
“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? I was relatively still young, I think I was 34. I thought, oh well maybe UFC. Maybe I should do something like that,” Johnson said.
“In my head, I felt like it was at least a two-year process for me to even get in the [Octagon], let alone the UFC,” said The Rock. “I wasn’t quite too sure what to do or what kind of people to put around me at the time, so the idea kind of fizzled out and I continued to stay on the path of movie making.”
How do you think ‘The Great One’ would have fared in a career inside the Octagon?
