If you know anything about Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson personal life and career, you should know he has tried his hand at a lot of different things. In college, he was a football player for the University of Miami who hoped to go pro. When he ended up mostly playing backup, he shifted his dreams to wrestling and became the catchphrase machine WWE fans know and love. Of course, most of the world knows him now as a big budget box office machine, but even he upended those expectations by taking on the more critically-acclaimed Smashing Machine this year. He’s a man with many goals, so why didn’t he ever try to fight in other spectrums?
If you’ve ever wondered why The Rock never tried to swap from WWE to UFC or even MMA, we finally have an answer. Travis and Jason Kelce asked him about this during an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, and he candidly informed the two NFL players that MMA is “a whole different beast” or “monster.”
