UFC Magazine interviewed The Rock for the August/September issue. UFC.com has some excerpts from the interview here, below are some highlights:

If he gave Brock Lesnar any advice before Lesnar joined the UFC:

“I never spoke to Brock when he decided to compete in MMA. We’ve been good buds for years, and he always knew I supported his decision. To be able to accomplish what he did and become UFC heavyweight champion in that short amount of time was insane—historic.”

Working with Ronda Rousey on Fast & Furious 7:

“Ronda is one of a kind. She’s a champion with world-class drive and work ethic. And to be able to do what she’s doing—the drive of being a champion and then balancing that with the drive of being equally as good on the big screen—that type of ambition requires capacity, and it’s so cool to see her achieve and move mountains.”

Who would win a rumored superfight between Rousey and his Fast & Furious 6 co-star, Gina Carano:

“Come on, man, you can’t ask me that. That’s like asking me, ‘Hey, Rock, which side of your handsome face do you like better, left or right?’ Obviously, it’s impossible to answer. You see what I did there? Avoided that question like the Filipino clap and managed to drop a ‘handsome’ line in.”
