Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Starts Training MMA For His Upcoming Movie Role

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has started training mixed martial arts (MMA)…
Because he’ll be portraying Mark Kerr in his next movie – a legendary figure in the world of MMA!

The movie “Smashing Machine” is expected to mark a significant milestone in Johnson’s acting career; while simultaneously offering MMA fans an intriguing glimpse into the life and career of Kerr, a true legend of the sport.

Taking to Instagram, Johnson shared insights into this new phase of his journey:

Starting my MMA workouts tomorrow.
I’m coming into this in pretty good conditioning and cardio shape, but MMA is a different animal.

And Mark Kerr was a ‘one of one’ monster.

I run to this Smashing Machine journey with deep respect and love for all MMA fighters and the culture.

Especially those who have struggled with addiction.

I’ve lost so many friends (wrestlers) over the years from addiction and mental health struggle – from suicide to, it was just their time to go.

This is my love letter to them.

Let’s get to work.
