A self-confessed UFC fan, Mark Zuckerberg once again showed his passion for martial arts. Last Wednesday (17), the founder of 'Facebook' held a rather intense training session with Merab Dvalishvili . In fact, the tech magnate ended up getting the worst of it in one of the exchanges with the former bantamweight champion (up to 61,2 kg) of the company.
On his official Instagram account, Zuckerberg shared the training session and showed his skill. A practitioner of Jiu-Jitsu, the businessman applied strikes and takedowns on Merab. In turn, the former UFC champion didn't take it lightly and responded in kind. In one of his advances, the Georgian ended up slapping Dana White's friend in the face.

But anyone who thought the founder of 'Facebook' complained was mistaken. On the contrary, Zuckerberg, increasingly comfortable in combat, continued to give 'The Machine' a hard time in a training session that lasted three rounds.

A friend of Dana White and a constant presence at UFC events, Mark Zuckerberg has trained with several stars of the organization. A fan of Mackenzie Dern, the businessman has shared the cage with Alex Poatan , Alexander Volkanovski , Israel Adesanya , Max Holloway , and Merab Dvalishvili.
