Zuckerberg’s MMA Passion Shines
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is not just a tech mogul—he’s a dedicated martial arts enthusiast. He has attended countless UFC events, most recently watching Alex Pereira’s revenge win over Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, seated right by the cage. Beyond spectating, Zuckerberg actively practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), achieving multiple tournament victories that earned praise from icons like Joe Rogan and Dana White.
Controversy Erupts Over Tournament Wins
Despite Zuckerberg’s dedication, his victories in BJJ tournaments have sparked heated online debate. While many fans admire his skill and discipline, others question whether his wealth and status influenced the outcomes. The discussion intensified after comments from MMA fighter Mike Perry, who openly challenged the legitimacy of Zuckerberg’s BJJ credentials.
Mike Perry Questions Zuck’s Integrity
On a recent episode of the Sobrevalorados podcast, Perry launched a fiery critique, targeting Zuckerberg’s blue belt achievements. “Zuck paid for the whole tournament!” Perry exclaimed. He added, “If Derek Moneyberg was worth 60 million, Zuckerberg is 200 times that. You think he didn’t buy that NAGA competition, bro?”
Fan Reactions and Backlash
Perry’s remarks ignited a storm of reactions on social media. Fans defended Zuckerberg’s accomplishments, with one Instagram user writing, “I love Perry, but the other guy is 100 percent right. Respectfully.” Others joked about potential bans, saying, “A 30-day Facebook and Instagram ban is coming (LOL).” Another fan noted, “Perry is going down the rabbit hole with this one,” while some reminded critics, “Have we seen Mark lose? He proves himself unlike others.”
Zuckerberg’s MMA Circle
Beyond tournaments, Zuckerberg trains with top fighters like Israel Adesanya, Alexander Volkanovski, and Craig Jones. He also recently sparred with Alex Pereira at UFC PI, weeks after Pereira captured the title. As of now, Zuckerberg has not responded to Perry’s accusations, leaving fans debating the validity of his BJJ achievements.
