Even the biggest star in Hollywood gets floored when incredible things happen inside the octagon.
[autotag]Dwayne Johnson[/autotag], who has been a fan of the UFC for many years, posted a selfie-style video to social media showing his reaction to the insane knockout that [autotag]Michael Chandler[/autotag] created with his front kick to the chin of Tony Ferguson at UFC 274.
In the video, “The Rock” appears to be enjoying the pay-per-view event by himself with a cold beverage close by. The video starts as the second round of Chandler vs. Ferguson begins.
“Let me tell you something, you could feel the electricity and the mana,” Johnson said in the video posted to Instagram, reacting to the energy of the first round. “You could feel it through the TV. By the way, I could just imagine how it is in this arena. Let’s f*cking go, boys.”

Johnson turned his camera back toward his television screen for a moment and then back to himself to offer a toast to the camera, naturally, with a brand he owns, Teremana Tequila.
Just as Johnson began to sip from his glass, the front kick from Chandler landed that put Ferguson down, and “The Rock” nearly spit out his drink as his eyes opened wide in disbelief.
“Holy sh*t,” Johnson said after a few seconds of silence. “F*cking incredible. Chandler caught Ferguson I think with a high right kick. That was in-f*cking-credible.”
Johnson is no stranger to attending UFC events and keeping up with the news surrounding the promotion and the sport of MMA. In addition to taking in a number of events cageside over the years, “The Rock” has also been a direct participant in the festivities.
At UFC 244, Johnson cut a promo at the weigh-ins and wrapped the “BMF” title around [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag]’s waist after he defeated Nate Diaz in the pay-per-view’s main event.
