‘The Champion,’ commented two-time and current UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueredo.

The UFC’s Instagram account even complimented Zuckerberg’s moves, sharing on Instagram: ‘Combos looking clean.’

‘This is great!’ Joe Rogan commented. ‘I’m so happy to see this. Training looks solid too!’

Other MMA and UFC fighters publicly supported Zuckerberg's love for hand-to-hand combat

Zuckerberg appeared recently The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, and revealed his love for mixed martial arts.

‘I really like watching UFC for example, but I also like doing the sport,’ Zuckerberg said on the podcast.

He explained fighting is ‘really important’ to him and helps to maintain his ‘energy level and focus.’

‘It’s because I have a connection to it,’ he continued. ‘Since COVID, I got super into surfing and foiling, and then really into MMA. I know a lot of people who do it.’ How Deep Does Mark Zuckerberg's love for MMA Go? You'd be surprised

‘MMA is like the perfect thing,’ he continued. ‘Because it’s like, if you stop paying attention for one second, you’re gonna end up on the bottom.’

Zuckerberg met UFC president Dana White for dinner in late June, and White has expressed he knows of Zuckerberg’s love for the sport, though its unclear whether they met over any professional endeavors.

Some wondered if Facebook’s founder’s newly revealed passion would translate into his company’s products and asked if it meant users would be able to fight in the metaverse.
