Zuckerberg’s interest in MMA is well known and ahead of Saturday’s event, rumors were swirling that he himself might fight.
Last month, the Meta CEO shared a video of himself sparring with mixed martial artist Khai ‘The Shadow’ Wu just before the fighter’s UFC debut on September 3 versus Joshua Dillon.
Zuckerberg shared the video on Instagram and it began by showing the two trading punches and kicks in a studio while outfitted in fight training pads.
The pair are then seen grappling on the floor, with Wu exclaiming ‘nice!’ when Zuckerberg rolls over Wu and gets on top of him.

Chan was not the only reason Saturday’s fight made headlines, as many UFC fighters took to the internet to voice their frustration that Zuckerberg booked out the arena at the expense of fans.
‘The best part about the ufc events live is the crowd going nutso like stay home bro wtf,’ tweeted fighter Al Laquinta.
Fighter Nathan Querry agreed, tweeting ‘That the UFC thinks this is a great marketing opportunity shows how out of touch they are.I’m old enough to remember when the fighters were the main draw. Not the promoter. And certainly not a guest at the fights.’
