The Rock gives you a house and suddenly you think you think you will be champion in 2024. He is a likeable person, oozes confidence but he has zero clue how matchmaking works. He isn't a ranked at welterweight and never has beaten a ranked middleweight. He is ranked #51 and just beat thank #68 ranked fighter. There is only 71 welterweights in the UFC. I have a feeling the UFC is giving him easy fights because he is a feel good story.
There is nothing wrong shooting for the Stars! Are the names he called out a bit premature and a stretch..? Sure I’d say so… But this is how you get there! Hard work, dedication, determination, and manifestation! Why not set the bar as high as possible I absolutely love it!
Themba well done brother. Your name means HOPE and you are carrying hopes of a nation. You have made us proud as Zimbabweans. Love you brother - hopefully i will see your fight live this year in London in front of Zimbabweans.
I wish this man the best in his life/ MMA career. I have seen him working on his strength and conditioning routine at UFC FIT Pembroke Pines in South Florida and I can assure this man works out like a Navy Seal. It’s a matter of time until he gets on the top 10 of his division because what he said in the beginning of the interview is true, the man is always in great shape. God bless Themba Gorimbo.
@@Pia-ho9dm Based on something called "Skill Sets" & "Time To Improve" which is unlikely for a 33yr old still in the Top 50's while fighting at a slow pace of once or twice at max each year like he has all the time in the universe🤔
People outside of Zimbabwe don't understand how hungry this guy is and where he comes from. Remember as a youth he was sneaking into diamond mines under live fire from soldiers holding AK47's.
Ohhhh & does all that Blood Diamond Jazz translate into being some great Martial Artist? By that dumb logic every African over there can demolish Jon Jones using their "Hunger" game powers.
10km. I like that he respectfully outlined the difference between his path and Dricus' path. Aftica is oir pride and joy, but Africa is not equal nor fair. Congrats to Themba !
Another great African fighter on the rise. Now I see why the PFL made Francis "president" of the African division of the PFL. They can clearly see the fduture of mma. Africans are coming with speed, power, agility, hardwork and confidence.
The maths might not math but the interview means advertising and asking for sponsorship, meaning their guys out there who see good in wat he's doing and put something on the table
@ernar8926 😆 🤣 😂.. so u can tell d future? Wats d lotto numbers?... I don't care who wins, but ters nothing lik facts when a fight hasn't even happened.. u mus hav also lost your house with your brief after Sean beat izzy
Respect to him and hope the best for him but 2024 is delusional. The amount of title defenses that would need to take place for him to even get a shot is impossible.
These is serious confidence I’m here for it . I like it … He’s gonna get there and nobody can run when he arrives. Lmaoo but Walmart version of Izzy if fxckin hilarious
Lmao... Dude has 3 ufc fights at the age of 33, it's so popular to glaze this man because of the rocks involvement and his story. Still has proven nothing in the ufc.
I wanna be angry... But he leaves such little space. He is likable. The gloves, still on, half an hour + after his fight 😊. This dude is happy. And damn if it's not a little infectious. How can he pay for a building with solar panels etc. on a shitty pay structure. Wasn't he pennyless just One fight ago? 😊 Even if he has a new home, in which he can afford the property taxes and electricity phone bills etc. How can he also buy a car, with insurance and maintenance etc. How can he build for his community, on what $20k + $20k +$50k (bonus)=$90k minus taxes+ mngnt fees..... Say, $60k tops, for this fight! Would he not need that $, to pay the bills on the new home (dishes, curtains, kids furniture), get a vehicle, and feed his wife and 2 children? Great story. But the math, is b.s.! Seems like the cart waaay B4 the horse, no? Just say the rock is paying for it. And explain the deal, he has with the Rock & or Uncle Dana. Right now this is just a fairy tale. Unless Dana and/or the Rock are paying the tab on these promises of moving kids to Thailand and building community centres. They can't ask me to think this dude on an rookie UFC contract, could make such promises on camera 📸 😜 This does look like a Rock guilt project. But could this be the unicorn of unicorns? A black fighter with Dana White-privelage? Thanks for the read!!😊 Any thoughts?
Themba is a gem and a blessing to his people. I've followed his career and progress. Might not be able to address every question you posed but will try. After every fight, even when he was still in the EFC, he auctions his fight kit and gloves and channels the proceeds to a cause back home. He also has a knack for generating resources from people around him (case in point: he auctioned his last fight kit and announced he was going to use the money to sink a borehole and he got about 3 other individuals inspired to sponsor another few boreholes). Building that library might end up at a fraction of the cost after companies donate most of the required material.
Just follow him on socials, you'll see how he's doing everything. Rock never needed to help him. Nobody asked. So what would the "guilt" be about? Can't call it a guilt project.
5k USD that's like 1million ZAR. When you convert usd in African currency its a lot also our bills are cheaper compared to American. What is hard is to get that money.
this guy was riding usman and izzy so hard when they became champions but yet he quiet when dricus becomes champions, either a racist or projecting the fact he wont be considered a true zim champion born, raised and trains.
Or maybe he saw Dricus comments on Israel and Usman not being real Africans and because he trains in America he took them personally and won’t support Dricus after what he said.
@@dobronxoliveira262 lol now im taking things out of context no you go rewatch the video of Dricus and his coach referring to Dricus wanting to become the first true African champion.
This guy is deep into "magical thinking" which I find kind of silly. He talks about "manifesting" which has been proven to be pseudo-science, and he thinks an invisible sky-wizard is helping him win fights. As if there were a god, he would choose favorites. Seems like a nice guy, and a decent fighter, but there's way too much superstition in the world as it is. It's 2023 people. If there were ANY supernatural or magical forces in the world we would have evidence by now. If you want something in life, go after it, and maybe you'll get it. I wasn't very impressed with his performance. He swings wildly and sometimes lands. He's got a lot of work to do. If he focuses on reality, he might have a great career ahead of him.
I think you can disagree with someone’s beliefs without being disrespectful. This life he is living is far beyond his wildest dreams. Themba had rough circumstances. I’m from the same country very different opportunities but this man’s journey is nothing short of a miracle. People like him typically don’t end up on big stages. Ironically you find yourself in the comment section, tell me again God doesn’t have a chosen people. This man believes that because he has God he has everything. So call it what you want, God is real, he is alive, and we experience him everyday, he is in every detail. God bless you
Beating Pete Rodriguez and calling out Leon and Shavkat is wild good luck to him
He’s 33 years old… he has to have a bit of urgency
He is aiming for the top. True competitor
I MANIFESTED THIS

What a fucking awesome guy. I hope he goes far. Keep it up you are a great human
This guy is going to be a superstar
Humble and a great person!

This comment is where I rest my head.
how can u not have love for this guy
They better give this guy another can if he wants to keep his momentum going
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..my thots but give the man his wish. he believes when everyone doesn't and that a powerful thing
Max respect Themba! Start a go fund campaign and we will support it
Especially since Dana didn't give him a fight night bonus for his 30second KO
@@ptrekboxbreaks5198 yeah that's not right
From Bikita to the world,
He is not calling these guys out for no reason, he's giving them a notice and when these guys are knocked out they'll know Themba ain't a joke.
Lol, KO's Leon & Shavkat? Maybe In The Pitch Dark🌑Night😂.
But in the Octagon he will never even reach Top 10 let alone a Title Shot.

Themba is full of balls stories. So many fighters got the talks without climbing the rankings.
Balls stories?

He's hungry because he spent all his money on a iphone 13.
Thank you bro
You are raising the flag of our country
I have been a fan since his EFC days where he was champ, this guy will be champ in the UFC mark my words.
Expected him to get KO'd. What a win R1 KO for himself. Impressive.
Good performance master 👏 🙌 ❤
If he keeps going up ladder and become champ, I promise you he will be at the level of the likes of connor McGregor superstar🎉
You won't fall in love with Knockouts🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭🔥

Dude claims he was hungry and is hungry, but has a iphone 13. Makes sense actually.
@MQPSYI never said it was?

Having big dreams is fine but you definitely aren't ready for anyone in the top 15
