He likes to fight. We're aware of this. He recently revealed MMA-style sparring to be one of his many hobbies. Several experts said that he is pretty good at it.
Just because you're okay at a hobby doesn't mean that you should take it to the next level. Let's take a look at the strange, swirling, and unfortunately compelling rumors that he is fighting at a UFC show.
The UFC organization made a sudden announcement earlier in the week that it would be closing its Saturday fight card in Las Vegas to the press and public. Dana White didn't give a firm explanation for the closing, but he did say that he wanted to give the fighting press a rest. It's a good thing.
The story didn't last long. On his Wednesday radio show, the MMA talking head said that a "very good source, very close to the event" had said that the closing had something to do with Facebook.
The theory was confirmed later that day by the UFC strawweight.
"I'm driven to put on a good show for Mark and whoever's gonna be there, and I know Mark rented out the whole event," she said.
One would think that Zucko could be renting the Apex. In a major twist, White took to the social media site to seemingly dismiss the claims.
The UFC chief said that Mark Zuckerberg didn't rent out the UFC. That is bullshit.
The UFC and Meta have yet to comment on the rumors, while Meta just referred to reporters to White's angry message. It would be odd to promote a rumor that the UFC president is denying, since she is in a position to know the person she is fighting.
It's true. Even though he loves to talk about his hobbies and seems to enjoy showing them off, the jury is still out on whether that is just a ploy to seem more human. At the beginning of the month, he posted a video on his social media accounts, where he spars with his trainer and MMA fighter.
It's odd for someone who tends to keep his hobbies and self-imposed challenges front and center to be kept out of the public eye. There's something going on. The UFC debacle comes after a tumultuous week for the founder, who after dropping from third richest person in the world to twentieth, reportedly announced a major Meta restructuring. It's not been a great year for Meta, and there's something about it that makes it feel like a depression band.
It's possible that this could be a sports-related metaverse promo since the Quest Pro launch date is close. It's anyone's guess. We won't be watching because media isn't allowed on Saturday.
Experts were surprised by Zuck's skill in MMA sparring.
