In a surprising and amusing twist of events, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently had the chance to “train” with UFC champion Alex Pereira. This unique encounter stemmed from a meeting backstage at UFC 300, where Zuckerberg and Pereira agreed to train together once Zuckerberg had recovered from ACL surgery on his knee.
Now, four months later, Zuckerberg has shared a humorous video that captures this training session in a way nobody expected. Instead of the intense MMA training one might anticipate, the video showcases the pair engaging in various Olympic events. Fans were treated to the sight of Zuckerberg and Pereira competing in activities like fencing, surfing, and even synchronized swimming.
This playful video offers a glimpse into Zuckerberg’s lighter side, showing that even the head of one of the largest tech companies in the world can enjoy a bit of fun with a UFC champion. While the video provided laughs and entertainment, it also left many wondering if Pereira would eventually help Zuckerberg with his MMA training, should he decide to step into the Octagon.
For now, the world will have to wait and see if this unlikely pairing will lead to some serious martial arts training in the future. Until then, fans can enjoy this amusing take on Olympic events featuring two unexpected competitors.
