The Rock is one of the most famous human beings on the planet, but Dwayne Johnson was eager to give the spotlight to Alina Dalaslan when they met. Dalaslan clashes with Karolina Sobek at Oktagon<\/a> 83: Samsonidse vs. Machaev on January 31st in a bantamweight bout.<\/p>\n

Previously, Dalaslan was at the premiere of \u2018The Smashing Machine\u2019 and got to interact with The Rock, with Johnson celebrating her spinning elbow KO that went viral while fighting for Oktagon MMA. Touching upon the machinations of that moment, Dalaslan said [via Bowks Talking Bouts<\/a>],<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that was crazy. I was invited to the premiere of \u2018The Smashing Machine\u2019 and I know I will see The Rock. But I didn\u2019t know that he will be so impressed of my spinning elbow. It was just a couple days, I think two or three days after the fight, and I was just like hey, look at this video. It\u2019s me, it\u2019s my last KO, and he was like oh my god, show it again, show it again. Also Emily Blunt, I love her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s so cool and she\u2019s so nice, really. They both were so impressed. Yeah, I had a good conversation with them. After this in the cinema, they just called me out again in front of all the people. Yes, it means a lot to me to hear this from those two incredible persons. So yeah, I can\u2019t forget this, never.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Rock\u2019s portrayal of Mark Kerr in \u2018The Smashing Machine\u2019 is now streaming<\/p>\n

The Rock is such a massive figure in the world of cinema, with his role portraying Mark Kerr now being available to be streamed. This Benny Safdie-directed flick, which also includes co-star Emily Blunt and a host of notable names in the combat sports world, is available via HBO Max.<\/p>\n
