UFC events are no strangers to celebrity guests. From Donald Trump and Mark Wahlberg to Theo Von and Mark Zuckerberg, the fight game has found its way into nearly everyone’s heart. The same was true for the blockbuster UFC 320 event that lit up the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas last Saturday night.

The Meta founder, chairman, and CEO was spotted in the front row early during the prelims and stayed through the night until Alex Pereira and Magomed Ankalaev settled their rivalry inside the Octagon. A known MMA enthusiast who actively trains in jiu-jitsu, Zuckerberg’s presence hardly came as a surprise. What stood out, however, was his post-event gesture.

Mark Zuckerberg joins 19,081 people

Earlier today, the 41-year-old took to Instagram to share a series of photos from the event. From his arrival at the venue to snapping pictures with Daniel Cormier and Daniel Santos, and later congratulating Alex Pereira and Merab Dvalishvili, the Meta CEO managed to capture nearly every highlight of the night through his camera lens. 

But that wasn’t all—he also shared a heartfelt message for the fighters through the post. “Congrats to [Alex Pereira], [Merab Dvalishvili], [Jiří Procházka] and [Daniel Santos] on a great night! Good to see lots of friends and thanks to [Dana White] and [UFC] for another amazing event,” Zuckerberg wrote in the caption of the post.

However, it wasn’t just the Meta CEO who enjoyed the night of knockout action. A sold-out crowd of 19,081 fans packed the arena to watch ‘Poatan’ exact his revenge, as the event raked in an impressive $8,840,134 in live gate revenue. Regardless, Zuckerberg’s time at the UFC 320 event didn’t go without some trolling. 

Joe Rogan trolls Zuckerberg 

Joe Rogan couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at Mark Zuckerberg during the UFC 320 broadcast, and fans loved every second of it. While the 41-year-old was sitting cageside during the event, the camera panned to him, and Rogan dropped a perfectly timed quip that sent social media into a frenzy.

With Alex Pereira headlining the event, Rogan joked, “Alex is probably asking why he’s shadow-banned.” The line was sharp, clever, and hilariously fitting—a nod to Pereira’s past social media troubles and a sly dig at Zuckerberg’s company, Meta. Later in the night, another clip surfaced of Zuckerberg leaning over to greet Rogan mid-fight, which only added to the viral moment.

Having said that, Mark Zuckerberg was among the thousands who thoroughly enjoyed UFC 320. While most people don’t get the opportunity to take pictures with fighters like Zuckerberg, his message to the fighters reveals his own love for the sport.
