The UFC is inarguably the biggest promotion company in the world of MMA . Throughout the years, the company has seen massive increase in its followers. Today, it has become one of the biggest franchises in the entire sports scenario all over the globe. Celebrities from all walks of life often attend UFC events. Some of the most noted faces seen in UFC events are The Former US President, ‘Donald Trump’, ‘Justin Bieber’, ‘Dwayne Johnson’, and many more. The UFC Vegas 61 event saw one more addition to that list of celebrities as Facebook CEO, ‘Mark Zuckerberg’ graced the event.

Mackenzie Dern, the main eventer of the UFC Vegas 61 had previously revealed in a press conference that Zuckerberg was going to rent out the whole arena of Vegas 61. The UFC President Dana White had to later debunk Dern’s claim in a press conference, although, it turned out to be partially true.

The UFC’s play-by-play commentator Jon Anik recently uploaded a snap with Zuckerberg on his Instagram. It seemed as if he was clearing the air about the issue. He captioned it, “He certainly didn’t ‘rent out the whole place’ but man it was great to have Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck) join us for the UFC show last weekend”.

How did the fans react to Jon Anik’s post?

Anik’s Instagram post garnered a lot of reactions from the fans. Some were simply blown out by the fact that Zuckerberg had attended a UFC event while others chose to deride his post due to the ‘damage control’ like caption Anik had given.
