Zimbabwean UFC sensation Themba “The Answer” Gorimbo has sent shockwaves across the nation after dedicating his upcoming UFC Vegas 110 fight against Jeremiah Wells to what he calls “the freedom of the youth of Zimbabwe from Zvigananda.” The fight, scheduled for November 1, 2025, at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, has now taken on a deeper meaning — one that goes beyond sport and straight into the heart of Zimbabwe’s political and social landscape.
In a fiery message that’s gone viral across X (Twitter) and TikTok, Gorimbo declared that this fight isn’t just about victory — it’s about liberating the minds and spirit of Zimbabwe’s young generation. He called out powerful figures who, according to him, have “captured the dreams of the youth” — directly naming Wicknell Chivayo, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, businessman Kuda Tagwirei, and controversial influencer Scott Kupa as “symbols of a system that thrives while the youth suffer.”
“This fight is not against a man in the Octagon — it’s against the mindset that has chained our people.
Zvigananda hazvichatongere pfungwa dzevana veZimbabwe. It’s time to wake up,” Gorimbo reportedly told his camp before deactivating his social media accounts to focus on training.
Gorimbo’s statement has electrified Zimbabweans worldwide. Many fans are calling him “the people’s champion”, saying he’s using his global platform to speak what millions back home are afraid to say. His bravery has drawn comparisons to legendary activist-athletes like Muhammad Ali — men who fought for more than just titles.
Meanwhile, the camp of businessman Wicknell Chivayo and allies close to Mnangagwa and Tagwirei have remained silent, though social media users speculate that Gorimbo’s message was a direct challenge to the growing culture of political favoritism and economic inequality in Zimbabwe.
As fight night approaches, one thing is certain — Themba Gorimbo’s bout against Jeremiah Wells is no longer just a UFC showdown. It has become a symbol of defiance, hope, and the unstoppable will of a generation demanding freedom from the grip of Zvigananda.
