Zimbabwe’s UFC Warrior ‘Themba Gorimbo ‘ Falls Short

In a fight that left fans scratching their heads and cheering, Themba “The Mamba” Gorimbo (14-5) faced Jeremiah Wells (12-4-1) at UFC Vegas 110. The Zimbabwean brought the chaos ,  two early takedowns, a back mount, and enough sweat to fill a small dam. But the American, desperate to avoid a third straight loss, did just enough. The judges? They sided with Wells

Round 1 , Gorimbo bulldozed Wells into the canvas, only for the grinning American to escape like a greased pig . Round 2, Strikes traded, submissions threatened, energy dwindled. Round 3 , Wells PARTIED late, landing punches and a top-position victory lap. Moral of the story?
Finish strong, or risk eating sad Zimbabwean sadza. “He fought like a mamba… but judges love a good mic drop,” quipped UFC commentators.

Gorimbo drops to 4-3 in the UFC, but his fanbase swears he won. “Maybe the judges needed a ‘Gorimbo Survival Guide’,” tweeted one supporter. The Zimbabwean remains a symbol of grit even if his bank account isn’t crying about it. Wells? He’ll frame this win next to his “I survived Carlston Harris” trophy. As for Gorimbo? “Next stop , Luque rematch. Or  Maybe , just maybe – a tweeter war with Chivayo or  any Zanu Pf  official. Whichever serves more sadza,” he joked.
