Hollywood superstar and former WWE wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and UFC fighter Molly McCann recently had a fun interaction on Twitter.

McCann put on a spectacular show at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Aspinall. She landed a brutal spinning back elbow on her opponent and then went on to score a TKO victory. It was the 32-year-old's second win in a row with a spinning back elbow.

'Meatball' later uploaded a tweet asking Johnson's permission to continue using his iconic move, 'The People's Elbow'.

@TheRock excuse me Mr Rock, but can I keep borrowing the peoples elbow. It’s doing me bits 🤣 https://t.co/LhDje8hGF0

'The Rock' replied to the UFC flyweight, telling her to keep using the 'DEVASTATING People's Meatbow'.

From the ELECTRIFYING People’s Elbow to the DEVASTATING People’s Meatbow 💪🏾💪🏻 Its all yours!
Keep kicking ass and having FUN, champ! 👏🏾
Much respect, Mr Rock 😊👊🏾 twitter.com/meatballmolly/…

Fans were delighted to see the heart-warming interaction between Johnson and McCann, and they let their feelings be known in the comment section.

One user even went on to call the Hollywood superstar 'People's Champ'.

@TheRock This is why you’ll forever be the People’s Champ

After delivering a spectacular finish at UFC Fight Night 208, Molly McCann appeared at the post-fight press conference for the event.

During her time there, "Meatball' said that she wished to fight at Madison Square Garden, which is the expected venue for UFC 281 in November.

McCann hopes to have a conversation with UFC president Dana White and Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy that could make her wish a reality.

“Dave Portnoy from Barstool is around, and Dana and him are quite tight. So, hopefully, after the fight, we can have a conversation. I would like to fight again in November in the Mecca of all Meccas for strikers. And I’ll just leave it into their hands to see who I’ll be fighting against.”

During the press conference, Meatball', in her own style, also called out Miranda Maverick for a fight.

"We will fight anywhere, any place, any time with whover f**king wants it. Miranda, if you want it, I'll f**k you wherever you want to be f**ked... not in a gay way."
