Alex Pereira and Mark Zuckerberg

The world of tech and MMA collided recently as Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook mogul, took on UFC champion Alex Pereira in a mock Olympics. The unlikely duo showcased their skills in various Olympic sports. From fencing to surfing, they left no stone unturned in their pursuit of glory.

But it was in the combat sports where things got really interesting. Zuckerberg, known more for his coding than his jabs, shocked viewers. In a stunning turn of events, he “knocked out” Pereira in boxing. The tech billionaire floored the UFC champ. Not content with this upset, Zuckerberg then threw Pereira to the ground in Judo. It seems the Meta CEO has been hitting the mats hard lately.


Of course, this was all in good fun. The video shared on Zuckerberg’s Instagram was clearly all for humor. Throughout the clip, both men kept shouting Pereira’s catchphrase, “Chama!” It added a humorous touch to their ‘Olympic’ adventures.

This isn’t Zuckerberg’s first foray into the world of combat sports. He’s been spotted training with various UFC fighters. But seeing him ‘best’ a champion like ‘Poatan’ is certainly a new level. It’s safe to say no one saw this coming. For Pereira, this playful video shows a different side of the fighter known for his stone-cold demeanor in the octagon.

Mark Zuckerberg Training With The UFC Elites Alexander Volkanovski And Israel Adesanya

Zuckerberg has recently been dipping his toe in the world of combat sports. He is trading coding for combat, it seems. The Meta CEO was spotted training with UFC champions in anticipation of his now-scrapped fight against Elon Musk.

This isn’t an average gym session, as Zuckerberg was working out with the best of the best. Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski were his sparring partners. These UFC champs are no pushovers, as they have showcased with their dominance in the Octagon.

It all started with just a tweet. Elon Musk, another tech giant, challenged Zuckerberg to a cage match. Surprisingly, Zuckerberg accepted. Now, the Facebook founder took this challenge seriously and prepared to beat the Tesla CEO. Unfortunately for fans, this bout never took place. But if it did, it would definitely be one of the most entertaining bouts of the century!
