# Vin Diesel Says He Could Totally Take Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson In A Fight

![](<https://taskandpurpose.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/03/19040065-1.png>)

Mark Sinclair and Dwayne Johnson — better known as “Vin Diesel” and “The Rock” to their adoring fans— reportedly did not get along or play nicely on the set of “[The Fate of the Furious](<https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4630562/>),” as evidenced in [an instagram post](<https://www.instagram.com/p/BI25NjMDPWv/>) where The Rock allegedly referred to Vin Diesel as a “candy ass.” Though their feud was reportedly quashed enough for them to agree to star alongside each other in [two more Fast and Furious movies](<https://www.maxim.com/entertainment/vin-diesel-rock-fast-furious-9-10-2017-4>), it may be renewed thanks to UFC fighter Tyron Woodley.

Woodley once publicly stated he would bet on The Rock over Vin Diesel in a hypothetical knock-down, drag out fistfight. And during the premiere for “Guardians of the Galaxy II” on April 25 in TK, Vin Diesel reportedly told Woodley he could “flex on The Rock” in a fight any day, Woodley told TMZ:

So how do the two mountains of muscle actually match up?

Vin Diesel is six feet tall, which mean’s he’s five inches shorter than the Rock and, [according to Maxim](<https://www.maxim.com/entertainment/vin-diesel-flex-the-rock-2017-4>), the Rock likely outweighs Vin Diesel by 40 pounds. It doesn’t help that Diesel’s also five years older. Plus, before they were actors, The Rock was a WWE wrestler; Vin Diesel was just a bouncer before he got his big break in a 20-minute short titled “[Multi-Facial](<https://www.slashfilm.com/watch-multi-facial-the-short-film-that-helped-vin-diesel-get-his-big-break-in-steven-spielbergs-saving-private-ryan/>).”

But even without the fighting experience, the Rock is a massive dude. That’s why 90% of the readers surveyed in this (incredibly scientific) Esquire poll chose Johnson over Diesel in a fight.

But in a fight between Vin Diesel and the Rock, we think the winner actually would be John Cena: there’s no way he wouldn’t join them in this epic of a celebrity cage match.
