In a candid post, The Rock shared a close-up of the wound—a deep, gnarly gash that he sustained while filming a particularly brutal fight scene.
The image was not for the faint-hearted. Blood oozed from the wound, and the skin around it was visibly torn. But in true Rock fashion, he brushed off the injury with a grin, captioning the photo with his signature humor and grit: “This is what happens when you push it to the limit—literally tearing into my work. But don’t worry, it’ll take more than this to slow me down.”
The injury occurred during a sequence where Johnson was reenacting one of the most iconic moments in the UFC legend’s career—a fight that became a defining moment in mixed martial arts history.

Fans and followers quickly flooded the post with messages of support and admiration, praising Johnson for his relentless work ethic and commitment to authenticity. “This is why he’s the best in the business,” one fan commented. “He gives it his all, every single time.”
The film, which has been kept under wraps, is rumored to delve deep into the life of the UFC icon, exploring the highs and lows of his career, the fierce battles inside the octagon, and the personal struggles that shaped him. With Johnson at the helm, both as the star and one of the producers, expectations are sky-high for what promises to be a raw and unflinching portrayal of a fighter who changed the sport forever.
As for The Rock, this injury is just another chapter in his storied career—a reminder that even the toughest of the tough aren’t invincible, but they’ll always get back up and keep fighting.
