"I'm not that old," he recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (MMAjunkie.com Radio | MMAjunkie.com
(http://www.mmajunkie.com/radio)). "Everybody thinks I'm 40 because, as I always say, there was the 'middle time.' It was Royce Gracie, Marco Ruas, and after that came the new guys (like me) in the middle.
"I fought with (Mark) Coleman, all these guys, and now they are older than me. I fought with Dan Severn, but I was very, very young then. People don't understand. They think I'm the same age as these guys. I'm still 36."
"The Rock" currently is riding a three-fight win streak with victories over Jeff Monson, Gary Goodridge and Ken Shamrock.
His resume has started to snowball to a certain degree. The hope is at some point it will galvanize UFC management.
