WATCH: Alexander Volkanovski Makes a Fan Out of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson at UFC 273

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson had unparalleled success in everything he touched because of his superlative work ethic. There are not many people who take inspiration from hard work and spread its value to the world, like ‘The People’s Champ’. Moreover, he is also someone who recognizes the hard work of others and gives his respect and support to them.

In a recent Instagram post, ‘The Rock’ shared a video of him watching the UFC 273 featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski talking about the reason behind his success after the victory. The Great one also hilariously mentioned how the ‘Rock Toast’ he sent Volkanovski must have helped him win the title.

Dwayne Johnson has always been a UFC fan, and he has posted his reactions to various fights in the past as well. Recently, in the main event at UFC 273, Alexander ‘The Great” Volkanovski retained his Featherweight Championship title. Volkanovski (24-1) defeated Chan Sung Yung, a.k.a ‘The Korean Zombie’ in the fourth round via a TKO.

Congratulating Volkanovski, ‘The Great One’ shared a video of him watching the post-match interview on his PC. The Rock wrote, quoting a line from the Featherweight champ’s speech, “Hard work and drive, brother. Congrats @alexvolkanovski #andstill with a beast of a performance & win. Huge respect to @koreanzombiemma, what a tough warrior. Great Saturday night of fights!! Enjoyed posting up at the bar Chimaev/Burns = fight of the night ”

Furthermore, the WWE legend jokingly claimed that a cheat meal, ”Rock Toast’ that he had sent to Volkanovski, must have had an impact on his performance. “I’m sure that Volkanovski The Great’s speed and dominance tonight was all due to me sending him my ultimate cheat meal – Rock Toast before the fight Congrats champ and big love/respect to all the warriors in that octagon tonight! Enjoy your families & cheat meals ”

Nevertheless, the speech by Alexander ‘The Great’ Volkanovski was very inspiring. When the interviewer asked how he is “making these big leaps”, Volkanovski said, “Man, it is just drive. Drive to be better. Always be better“‘. The UFC superstar added that hard work and drive took him where he is now. And indeed, one can understand how The Rock would be a fan of the Featherweight champ.
