After posting video of his MMA training session, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook, received praise from a number of UFC fighters.
Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg showed his 10 million Instagram followers a very long footage of him practising his punching and submission techniques with MMA fighter Khai Wu.
On the forum, the 38-year-old also advertised Wu’s most recent bout, saying: “One of my training partners is competing for the first time on UFC Fight Pass. I’m looking forward to a fantastic battle, so go get it, Khai.”
In Zuckerberg’s remarks, several of the most well-known MMA fighters gathered to thank him for donning some gloves and demonstrating his prowess.
Among those delighted to praise Zuckerberg were box office phenomenon Conor McGregor, No. 1 in the whole sport Alexander Volkanovski, and up-and-coming talent Sean O’Malley.
McGregor responded to Zuckerberg’s video with “Yo.” Absolutely fantastic, Mark.
According to Volkanovski, Zuckerberg “O’Malley continued, “Looking the goods,” and added, “Damn! Love what I see.”
‘You could be making your UFC debut shortly,’ a UFC champion informed Zuckerberg.
The UFC’s bantamweight champion and American MMA fighter Aljamain Sterling said: “Watching this is just awesome. I dunno [I dunno], you could be making your UFC debut shortly.”

Uncertainty surrounds whether Zuckerberg’s love of combat sports will keep him ringside or Octagonside at future events, although he would have a wide selection of events to choose from.
On September 10, the market-leading MMA company, The UFC, will host a pay-per-view event from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, featuring a main event between Nate Diaz, a fan favourite, and dominating force Khamzat Chimaev.
If Zuckerberg didn’t want to leave California, he could attend Bellator 286 on October 1 at the Long Beach Arena, which will feature A.J. McKee, one of the state’s most dynamic fighters.
