The Rock is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. If we take his wrestling career and nothing else , we will meet one of the most blockbusters and loved by the fans, but if we choose his step as an actor, we will also see one of the most important of the current Hollywood.
What would the fighter miss on his resume? According to Muscle & Fitness magazine, The Rock could become a professional mixed martial arts fighter , as they posted it in a message through their official Twitter profile:

The Rock responded to the message published by the magazine with another tweet, where he revealed that 10 years ago he wanted to fight in the UFC, until he had decided that coach would guide him and everything.
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

“Yes, I considered fighting in the UFC 10 years ago. My goal was for Greg Jackson to be my coach and invest two years in doing it . I preferred not to continue with the idea because I wanted to have my jaw intact “It is not uncommon for a professional wrestler to take the plunge into mixed martial arts, as the foundations between both sports (saving distances) are no different, examples such as Bobby Lashley or Brock Lesnar showed that the transition can be done smoothly.
