Themba Gorimbo says family members celebrating UFC 310 loss to Vicente Luque ate at him

Themba Gorimbo was disappointed when some of his family members reveled in his UFC 310 loss.

mmajunkie.usatoday.com

When I go online, one of my cousins – I can’t speak his name, but he messaged me the day after I lost this last fight. Some of my cousins were celebrating my loss. They were all celebrating my loss. He sent me a video of them in a place where we were 15 years ago, this small circle in Danun. It’s a slum. These cousins of mine were celebrating my loss. Do you know how much that eats you?

“Because all I do is try to do better for everybody. I might not directly help you, but maybe I want to build a well for the community. Then one person gets angry: ‘Why did you build the well close to this guy’s house and not this person’s house?’ If someone messages you and says, ‘Give me $5,000’ – where will I get (that)? People think that I’m in the UFC, and I’m a millionaire. I’m not. Maybe one day I will be.”

His family members are dumb. Cost of living in America compared to Africa has to be 20x. He was living in a gym before he got gifted the house. He doesn't have shit to give

Yeah, one of the first things you should do when obtaining a level of success that comes with monetary or perceived monetary increases-- cut off all family who are likely to have their hands out.

Yeah we know. It's not left the front page for 24 hours now.

People want to see others fail , even family... So when you succeed buy a Corvette and do burnouts in front of their houses at 3am.

Themba seemed really likable at first, humble hardworking and spending his money to build a water pump for his village in Zimbabwe… all while sleeping on a couch.

But then The Rock stepped in and hooked the guy up… and it seems the game got to Themba’s head quick.

Such a shame… but Themba is hardly the first humble man to let fame and fortune get to his head and destroy him.

And he won’t be the last.

I told everyone this guy was an asshole in the gym it don’t surprise me his own family don’t like him

 

[WarRampage]

There was some guy in a thread a couple weeks back losing his mind talking about how much he hates Themba after his experience training in the same gym as him. Calling him a racist etc.

Maybe there is some actual truth behind Themba being a POS.

I’m the guy who made those claims, and stand on em

Creating another sob story so he can get another handout from Dwayne the rock Johnson

LOL so seeing someone from a poor just recently freed country
getting a gift from another person who started at the bottom bothers you exactly why?
.. LOL. at "Handout" very messed up way to view things. Im sure people would hate working for you

Ah another African fighter crying about DDP’s comments, cope and seethe lmao.

we gonna see whose gonna cope and seethe when DDP eventually gets whats coming to him . Karma is real
and DDP is playing with fire.

Colby kind of already exposed Themba for turning into a douche after Dwyane The Rock hooked him up. Then Themba started trash talking Colby, said something about Colby not letting him train at their gym while he was there anymore. Possible grudge match incoming.

Anyway, DDP doesn't even break a sweat rustling these guys' jimmies. He just says "I'm not talking shit, just stating facts" then just kicks back and watches these guys breakdown mentally. It's genius, he's perfected it into an art form without really trying.

only in the UFC would a low life like Colby would have any validity amongst fans. God im so happy he never became champion
Thank you Leon buckley and usman. Thank you guys so much. i can only imagine how insufferable you guys would of been had colby won.
YUCK

this guy is a POS , no wonder no one likes him

and like clockwork suddenly you guys like belal ROFL yall are so predictable ...

Hes obviously not a likable guy in his personal life

Me trying not to make ill-advised jokes in this thread...

 

[Nabs]

Yeah why exactly would his cousins just you know, CELEBRATE his loss? Gotta be some reason on their part. Themba did seem like he had some main character syndrome.

Don't know the dude. He might be an asshole but I'm willing to bet my last tree fiddy that it's because he refused to enable their laziness by sending them money, etc. That's typical behavior from African extended families. Trust me, I know.

 

[Evbo]

I believe the answer was strongly suggested in the video. His cousins are slumming it up in the slums of africa while seeing their cousin Themba get a big ass house gifted to him in the US, and seeing their cousin fight on live TV in the biggest MMA promotion in the world. Themba suggests that they asked him for help, but Themba insists that he isn't rich, strongly suggesting that he didn't help his cousins. Now, who knows, maybe his cousins are toxic blood sucking people. Or Maybe his cousins helped support themba and had his back for years and feel betrayed. Or Maybe themba just really can't help them. Who knows.

I remember seeing Derrick Lewis on JRE talking about buying his ghetto family a bunch of cars with his money and they just all sold them for cash.
