At UFC 298, the MMA community was treated to a night of unforgettable action; highlighted by Ilia Topuria’s stunning knockout victory over Alexander Volkanovski, who captured the featherweight title in a dramatic second-round finish.
And, well, among the high-profile attendees was none other than Mark Zuckerberg – the Meta CEO, known for his passion for MMA.
Though… Some might say that his appearance wasn’t exactly “picture-perfect”.
Namely, Zuckerberg’s appearance during Volkanovski’s entrance to the Octagon raised more than a few eyebrows; as spectators couldn’t help but comment on Zuckerberg’s attempts to blend in and assist.

And, although there was a brief moment of acknowledgment with a pre-fight hug from Volkanovski, the interaction seemed somewhat weird – adding to the overall peculiarity of Zuckerberg’s involvement.

Social media users quickly seized on the moment, sharing their takes on Zuckerberg’s appearance.
One user, for example, humorously remarked:
Still went better than Threads.
What did you think of Zuckerberg’s appearance? Awkward or as regular as it can get?
