Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg can change his status to MMA sparring partner.
The Meta CEO posted a video of himself sparring with mixed martial artist Khai “The Shadow” Wu before the latter made his UFC debut with a loss by unanimous decision Saturday night against Joshua Dillon.
Zuckerberg’s video on Instagram — which had more than four million views as of Sunday afternoon — showed him exchanging punches and kicks and wrestling on the floor with the 27-year-old Wu.

“Yo!!! F****** awesome Mark!” former UFC champ Conor McGregor commented on the post.
The 38-year-old Zuckerberg recently had stated an interest in MMA on a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
“I really like watching UFC … but I also like doing the sport,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s because I have a connection to it. Since COVID, I got super into surfing and foiling, and then really into MMA. I know a lot of people who do it.
“MMA is like the perfect thing. Because it’s like, if you stop paying attention for one second, you’re gonna end up on the bottom.”
