Wrestling and Hollywood superstar Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson recently spoke to Megan Olivi of ESPN MMA to talk about the debut of ‘Fight Island’ and his friend Jorge Masvidal; who challenges Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title in the main event of tonight’s UFC 251.
Most of Johnson’s interview with the UFC-partnered broadcaster was spent talking up the promotion’s audacity in securing Yas Island, a man-made peninsula in Abu Dhabi, UAE, as a spot to hold international fights during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
