The Rock calls Charles Oliveira a 'f'n beast' after win at UFC 274 and says 'holy s***' after Michae

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Ever the fight fan, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, was very impressed by the performances at UFC 274 - the WWE legend tweeting out praise for Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler.

In the main event, Oliveira choked out Justin Gaethje in the first round, meaning the lightweight title remains vacant.

The lightweight title was only available for Gaethje to win after Oliveira came in half a pound over the 155lb lightweight limit.

And after the fight, The Rock described the Brazilian as a 'beast', tweeting: "Oliveira. Unreal. F’n beast."

Further down the card, Michael Chandler stole the show, recovering from a knockdown to score a stunning front kick knockout against UFC legend, Tony Ferguson.

Chandler is a former Bellator champion and now he could be in line for a shot to become a UFC champion following this latest win and 'The Rock' certainly thinks he is on the right track.

"Holy s***. What an Incredible KO from Michael Chandler," Johnson said.

"And on top of that just delivered a truly electrifying promo that already sold tickets to his next fight, that’s not even booked yet.

Both of Saturday night's big winners, Chandler and Oliveira, called out Conor McGregor in the Octagon after their respective fights, but the Irishman seemed more interested in a clash with Chandler out of the two.

“I’d have a nice knock off this guy, no doubt about it," McGregor said.

"A firework spectacle. I like the 170 shout also. Tipped him [Chandler] over.

“I’m definitely game to fight this guy at some stage in my career. I see it happening after tonight. Congrats on a solid win Michael and another barnstormer.”
