The Rock's Favorite UFC Fighter (Who He Bought A House For) Just Delivered An AWESOME KO 30 Seconds Into His Fight

THEMBA GORIMBO!!! ZIMBABWE STAND UP!!! ZAH STAND UP!!!

What a right hand from Gorimbo, huh? The cracking sound that punch made was unbelievable, and the power behind it had Pete Rodriguez trying to wrestle Herb Dean after the stoppage. Even crazier considering Gorimbo's not typically a power puncher, but manifested this all week - he guaranteed a first round KO to everyone who would listen.

Gorimbo gave a great post-fight speech as well, thanking everyone from the commentators to the referee to The Rock, who actually bought him his house after hearing his story - if you don't remember….

I was texting Zah right after the fight, and he was telling me about how amazing it was that Gorimbo has made it as far as he has, knowing where he came from - and it just makes me like this guy even more. I hope the UFC is able to turn him around quick and get him back in there a few more times this year, because he's become a fan favorite really fast.
