At 52 years of age, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, boasts of a mega-successful career spanning wrestling, acting, and various businesses. Starting off his acting career in 2001 with The Mummy Returns, the actor has ever since starred as the lead in various franchises and become the face of the action-combat genre. Additionally, among the many actors who have made such a transition from the WWE rings to the acting scene like Dave Bautista and John Cena, the Black Adam actor still commands a broader range.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is doing something different for “The Smashing Machine.” The mixed martial arts biopic is the first film that could get the blockbuster action star some awards attention. And a first-look photo from the film reveals that Johnson looks different than usual.
Studio A24 released the photo on X. It shows Johnson in character as Mark Kerr, a wrestler and Mma fighter. Johnson appears to have some facial prosthetics, his characteristic tattoos are covered up, and his usually bald head sports a wig. He looks a lot like he did when he emerged as a pro wrestling star in the late ‘90s.

Ufc
Just one week after putting on a free bantamweight title fight at Ufc Fight Night 81 that saw Dominick Cruz successfully reclaim the title he was stripped of years earlier, the Ufc is back with Ufc on Fox 18, featuring a light heavyweight title eliminator between former challenger Anthony Johnson, and the underrated Ryan Bader.
While there is no title fight on the Ufc on Fox 18 card, there are plenty of big match-ups to be found: the network TV debut of surging young star Sage Northcutt, who at 19 is the Ufc’s youngest active fighter, a heavyweight clash of titans with title fight implications, and the aforementioned light heavyweight title eliminator, the winner of which will face the victor of Jones vs. Cormier 2. In short, there’s a lot of action, once again, on a free card.
The biggest questions will concern the light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, of course. Can...
