What Is Themba Gorimbo Net Worth?: Themba Gorimbo is a Zimbabwean mixed martial arts fighter based in the United States.

Themba Gorimbo has been in the news following his encounter with award-winning American actor and retired professional wrestler, Dwayne Johnson.

The meeting happened after Gorimbo revealed that he had only $7 in his bank account prior to his first victory at UFC Vegas 73, which caught Johnson’s attention.

After Gorimbo’s win over Takashi Sato at UFC Vegas 73, he announced plans to auction off his fight kit so he could help fund the building of a water well in his native village in Zimbabwe.

Gorimbo’s selfless actions touched Dwayne’s heart who pursued his own dreams after once having only $7 in his bank account, which eventually served as the name for his company, Seven Bucks Productions.

On Thursday, August 3, 2023, Themba Gorimbo hit major headlines after Dwayne Johnson shared a video on Instagram surprising him with a new home in Miami.

Prior to gifting him the house, the retired professional wrestler visited the UFC fighter who was struggling to buy a house for his family hence lived in a small part of the gym

“I’ve got to tell you, your story moved me,” Johnson told Gorimbo during their first face-to-face meeting. “When I found out you had $7 in your bank account, I know what that’s like.

“I was here in Miami when I had $7, but then also you win your second fight, then you sell your fight kit, you buy a water well for your village in Zimbabwe so your people can have clean water.

Because you could have taken that money and put it down on a car, on an apartment, but you didn’t. You took care of your people, and that just says exactly who you are, and that’s why I flew all the way in. Just to look you in the eyes and tell you, I got your back.”

The mixed martial arts fighter had been sleeping on a couch in the gym as he saved up money to bring his family from his native Zimbabwe and purchase them a house.

Dwayne then took a drive with Gorimbo that ended at a house the famed WWE superstar purchased for him, which is where Gorimbo can now reside while continuing his training in Miami.

“I wanted to look you in the eye and I wanted to tell you welcome home,” Johnson said as he handed the keys over to an emotional Gorimbo.

Gorimbo had tears in his eyes as he took a tour of his new house, telling Johnson he was going to use this gift as a way to help continue giving back to his home village in Africa.

“Because you got me this house, I was supposed to get a house to come here,” Gorimbo explained. “The money that I was going to use for the house, I’m going to build another borehole in my village now when I land in Africa.”

Gorimbo, who boasts a 1-1 record in the UFC has vowed to make Johnson proud as he continues his career, with high hopes to make an even bigger impact moving forward.

“I will become a champion,” Gorimbo said. “Trust me.”
