Dwayne Johnson has a solid bond with the UFC, thanks to his friendship with Dana White, the CEO of the company. Additionally, he’s gone the extra mile by pleasantly surprising Themba Gorimbo. Although fighters like Nate Diaz criticized his shoe brand, a former shoe sponsor, but Johnson remains popular within the company. At a recent UFC Noche, victorious fighter Charlie Campbell made a unique request to The Rock, expressing his desire for a Hollywood debut. Let’s dive in to see the details of it.
UFC Noche: Charlie Campbell Made Request To Dwayne Johnson For Hollywood Debut
In a recent SmackDown episode, The Rock made a surprising appearance, hinting at a possible presence at WrestleMania 40, creating waves in the pro wrestling world. While WrestleMania 40 is still on the horizon, Johnson is already in the headlines, this time due to a mention at a recent UFC event. Charlie Campbell, a star from the UFC, called out DJ, paving the way for a special request for a Hollywood debut.
Following his impressive victory against Alex Reyes in a round 1 knockout during a lightweight bout, Campbell made a bold move. He shifted the spotlight onto himself by requesting a Hollywood role in the post-match interview with Daniel Cormier, as if his victory was not enough grabbing enough headlines.
In a chat with UFC commentator Cormier, Campbell took a page out of The Rock’s book. Just as Cormier was about to share his thoughts on Campbell’s win against Alex Reyes, Campbell pulled off The Rock’s classic line, saying, “It’s doesn’t matter what you think.” He followed up by expressing his desire for a Hollywood opportunity.
