Recently, UFC lightweight division fighter Terrance McKinney took a shot at Dwayne Johnson while tweeting about Project Rock’s deal with the UFC. He replied to a fan who had replied to his previous tweet on the social media platform.
A fan asked him about the backlash he might face if he tweeted about the deal and Under Armour’s Rock project. However, McKinney said he was ready for backlash and criticism over his tweet. Plus, he just wanted Johnson to pay the fighters to promote his brand.
I gotta take the risk, I can’t sit still and let things like this happen to us @TheRock is literally no different than faceless company crypto .com except they don’t claim to care about fighters i was hoping dwayne would be different his nice guy thing was real https://t.co/ nO76Z5mUbf

He wrote, “Gotta take the risk I can’t sit back and let things like this happen to us @TheRock is literally no different to faceless crypto .com except they don’t pretend to care about fighters, I was hoping Dwayne would be different that his nice boy thing was real”
McKinney was not happy with what was happening. He also talked about Sports Illustrated while writing an article on the matter and as a result, he became prominent. However, the WWE legend did not respond even though he was active on Twitter.
McKinney understands that The Rock is just doing business. However, the 28-year-old UFC fighter thinks Johnson should make some changes to the deal and pay fighters to promote his shoes.
What Did Terrance McKinney Tweet About Dwayne Johnson?
A few days ago, McKinney tweeted about Dwayne Johnson’s Project Rock and UFC deal. He responded to a tweet from “Bloody Elbow” about the Project Rock deal, not paying UFC fighters to wear the brand’s shoes.
Hey bro @TheRock if you are a fan of what we do, do the favorable deal for those who model your shoe, i understand that it is not your fault or your company to do this to us, but show us the love you think to be. Come into our corner and support us 🙏🏾
— Terrance ‘T Wrecks’ McKinney (@twrecks155) September 14, 2022
In the tweet, he humbly asked Johnson to support the fighters. McKinney said if “The Great One” respected the sport, he should have made a proper deal that would benefit everyone.
