UFC’s Terrance McKinney recently called out Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson again and blamed him for ignoring his request.
Earlier this year, The Rock struck a deal with the UFC and made his shoe brand the official shoe for Octagon fighters. The agreement stipulated that the fighters alongside their team members will wear Project Rock footwear at the events. But, many fighters were unhappy as they were not getting any financial benefit from the deal. In addition, there were also disagreements about the quality of The Rock (Project Rock) shoes.
Last week, Terrance McKinney took to Twitter and asked the WWE legend to support them. He asked The Rock to show them some love and make some changes to the deal.
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 🙏🏾

However, it looks like it all caught more fire as the UFC star once again called out the WWE icon. McKinney condemned The Rock for ignoring his appeal.
Terrance McKinney expresses his disappointment with The Rock
The tweet McKinney made last week also got a lot of attention from fans and the mainstream media. It went viral immediately with Sports Illustrated devoting an article to the matter and even mentioning McKinney’s tweet. But, there has been no official response from The Rock.
Now disappointed with how his plea was taken, T-Wrecks once again took to social media and took a shot at the WWE legend. McKinney said her tweet got noticed by everyone except The Rock. He further added that the icon can write about penguins and wrestlers from the 80s, but has no time to answer his call. He tweeted:
My rock tweet about his shoes went viral and Sports Illustrated even wrote an article about it but he never got back to me. At least he’s able to tweet about 80s penguins and wrestlers 🤷🏽♂️

Well, now that the UFC star has called The Rock twice directly, let’s see if he gets an answer this time. Not to mention the kind of attention the whole affair is getting from fans and the media.
T-Wrecks recorded their 13th UFC win in the first round
Terrance McKinney is an established Lightweight division fighter in the UFC with a 100% finish rate. His 13 victories in the Octagon include 5 by knockout and 8 with submission assist. Although the 27-year-old has also suffered four defeats so far.
However, his recent win over Erick Gonzalez at UFC Fight Night last month was in the very first round. T-Wrecks was aggressive in his approach early on which helped him get his opponent to submit very easily.
Nevertheless, with other fighters like Nate Diaz alongside McKinney, the controversy seems far from over. As for the UFC and the Rock, both sides have yet to react. From now on, fighters will wear The Rock’s sneakers without any monetary benefit.
