Dwyane Johnson isn’t just transforming into an MMA fighter for his next film, he’s getting the full experience.
Johnson, otherwise known by WWE fans as The Rock, is in the middle of shooting The Smashing Machine, a movie based on the life of former two-time UFC heavyweight tournament champion Mark Kerr. Johnson, 52, has spent months preparing for the role with some intense all-out MMA training.
Unfortunately, as Johnson recently learned, that type of work is usually accompanied by some series injuries.
