Attending UFC 298 last Saturday in Anaheim, California, Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg became a topic of interest during the post-event press conference. The event was highlighted by Ilia Topuria claiming the featherweight championship, defeating Alexander Volkanovski with a knockout in the headline bout.
Dana White, the UFC president, fielded questions about Zuckerberg’s interest in competing in MMA. White admitted he wasn’t privy to Zuckerberg’s specific plans but acknowledged the tech mogul’s deep enthusiasm for the sport.
“I’m not sure about his plans to fight in MMA, but it’s clear Zuckerberg is keen to step into the ring. He’s not just a casual fan; he’s truly passionate about it. He regularly trains with professional fighters. It’s common knowledge here – or at least for most of us – that once you dive into this sport, it captivates you entirely. Watching someone like Zuckerberg, with his love for MMA, is both exciting and remarkable,” Dana White commented.
Zuckerberg, who recently earned a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu, is known for his dedication to the sport, training three to four times a week in Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. He’s even installed an octagon in his mansion’s backyard. Zuckerberg has been spotted training with former UFC champions like Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski, showcasing his serious commitment to the martial arts.
