Mark Zuckerberg may have $160 billion, but he’s still open to an extra job. He had this just last night when he was inside Alexander Volkanovski in the title match at UFC 298.
Mark Zuckerberg supported Alexander Volkanovski tonight
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski’s friendship is no secret. The men had hung out and trained together several times since Zuckerberg became interested in Brazilian jiu-jitsu a couple of years ago.
When the 35-year-old featherweight stepped out into the Octagon at the Honda Center in Anaheim for the main event against Ilia Topuria thus, Zuckerberg found himself in training clothes with Volkanovski’s team, waiting for the fighter.
The men even shared a hug before the night’s fateful title match. You can watch the event below:

Zuckerberg then appeared to take a seat on the side of the Octagon from where he cheered on his friend.
Sadly for the pair, the bout ended with a new champion after Volkanovski was finished by a knockout in the second round.
Zuckerberg was also in focus earlier during the night after that Merab Dvalishvili lifted his opponent Henry Cejudo to the billionaire. After throwing Cejudo to the ground, the Georgian then had a conversation with Zuckerberg to his satisfaction.
Zuckerberg was rumored last year to meet Elon Musk in a match but this never happened.
