However, he bounced back in May with his first victory against Takashi Sato. The victory was not just a personal triumph for Gorimbo but also a means to improve the lives of those in his local village in Zimbabwe.
Before his maiden victory in the UFC, Gorimbo had only $7 to his name. However, after auctioning off the kit he used to achieve the win, he was able to raise $7,000. Instead of using the money to improve his own situation, Gorimbo selflessly sent the proceeds to his local village in the form of a bush pump to provide clean water. One fan reacted to this on twitter he wrote “My dude went in for The Spear! Rock having them @goldberg #WWE debut flashbacks I would assume. In all seriousness, congratulations. ‘$7 left in the pocket’ seems to be the lucky number.”
Gorimbo’s path to success has not been easy, marked by mental scars. At the age of 16, he experienced huge tragedy with the death of his mother followed by his father’s death four years later.
The Rock was moved by Gorimbo’s story and flew out to Miami to meet him in person. Johnson understands Gorimbo’s struggles, having experienced financial difficulties himself before making it big in the WWE.
The heartwarming footage of Johnson surprising Gorimbo at his gym has gone viral, with fans expressing their admiration for The Rock’s generosity and kindness.
In a world where negativity often dominates the headlines, it’s refreshing to see someone like Dwayne Johnson use his fame and influence for good, inspiring others to do the same.
