Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson surprised UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo with a home after being moved by the fighter’s story of having just $7 in his bank account before winning his first professional fight in May and sending the money to his village in Zimbabwe for a water well.

Gorimbo’s story involves the loss of his parents at a young age and a life-changing experience nearly losing his life while illegally mining for diamonds in Zimbabwe. Looking for change, the 32-year-old moved to Miami, where he was sleeping on a couch in the gym where he trained.
