There might be something to this, but the ship has sailed on this one a long time ago. Muscle & Fitness recently tweeted out a question to their fans. They asked whether or not people could picture The Rock in the Octagon.
While most people would think The Rock might just let this one slide by, The People’s Champ decided to respond. In a shocking reply, Dwayne Johnson stated he actually thought about an MMA career ten years ago.
He said he had a coach in mind and was going to train for two years in order to prepare for his MMA debut. Fortunately for him (and his jaw), The Rock decided against making the leap to the UFC.

Yup, I considered @ufc 10yrs ago. My goal was @GregJacksonMMA as my coach & 2 full yrs to train. Smartened up 'cause I prefer my jaw in tact https://t.co/p0Yn9n7MGq

If you’d still like to see The Rock he’s not going away. With all of his upcoming movies and television show appearances along with his possible presidential run, there’s no shortage of The Rock.
The Rock is set to debut in a new film with Apple that promises to be the biggest, coolest, sexiest, funniest movie ever. We’ll just have to wait and see if this one can top Baywatch.
Teamed w/ @Apple to make the biggest, coolest, sexiest, funnest (is that a word?) movie ever. Drops TOMORROW!#ROCKxSIRI #DominateYourDay
