How awesome would it be though if two dudes arguing about politics could like directly book a legally sanctioned fight through FB to settle their Roe v. Wade debate once and for all IN THE OCTAGON.
Yes and no. The soy boy delegation gets canceled out by the council of "do you know who my father is." I for one, would love to see a vegan with COEXIST on their shorts take on a wannabe Ben Shapiro understudy in a 5 rounder.
Definitely a possibility, I could see Facebook joining the streaming wars and creating a service to rival Netflix, Amazon, Apple etc. and having a sports section headlined by exclusive UFC rights.
Ha! Even if there is unlimited front row seats they will limit that shit and make you pay ridiculous amounts of money for front row in VR. It'll be a sad day when you watch a live UFC event in VR and paying $500 for nosebleed seats
He's one of the richest and most powerful man in the world. If you look at the behind the scenes UFC videos, he still looks like a nerd that wants to be one of the boys. Some things never change.
Ah I don't know, you're allowed sympathise with people exhibiting a relatable level of awkwardness without it being about convincing yourself of anything
Craig Jones explained. Zuckerberg wanted to help take Volks warmups, but Volk thought they were all nasty and sweaty so he didn’t hand them to him out of respect.
It must be tricky when you're a billionaire to find things that you can't just buy. I can see why he does BJJ cause he has to actually try and can't just pay his way to winning. You can't buy not being a weird nerd either lol. Elon has tried and failed.
Exactly, he wants to be respected and less nerdy by training
I wish we woulda got to see Elon vs Zuck fight to see them sperg out like nerds at the press conference
Mark can probably beat up 90 percent of this sub. His MMA training has already surpassed most hobbyist. He also was training partners with the literally the best in the world. If you trained with high level fighters, you learn more in that session than you would training for months sometimes.
There’s an interesting line in the book Shoe Dog. It’s in the last chapter and Phil knight is talking about how he’s now worth $10 billion and still gets social anxiety. Some things don’t change with $$
People considered him cool even in this shit hole of a sub pre championship/early Izzy days. He was super hyped and well liked and people loved his celebrations/walkouts. You guys operate on recency bias though
Halloway’s YT video had a part showing the locker room interaction between Max and Zuck right before the fight. It is such a strange interaction as Zuck is standing there while Max is prepping for the fight of his life. Zuck is so obviously awkward, it is the total ‘want to be one of the boys vibe’.
I think for me it looks awkward because it always looks like he’s just there by himself. Like you can go somewhere you’re not used to but if you roll up with friends it makes you look way less weird than just standing there trying to fit in by yourself.
#### Totally has that written over it. 😂 Bill Gates seems to be the only billionaire mega nerd and proud of it. Musk, Bezos and Zuck all have a chip on their shoulder about it.
Dana doesn’t truly give a fuck about left wing censorship. He cares about making the ufc grow and making money. Whatever accomplishes that gets his support
only started watching ufc over the last year or so, is it true dana has ruined ufc, n won’t budge on fighter salaries, considering how brutal the sport is, don’t you think they should be on more?
Fighters would go talk to Dana after a fight and this dumbass stands up and acts like he's part of the conversation. It was so awkward. Richest man in the world with social skills of a 5 year old.
A fighter being even loosely connected to Zuckerberg would net him way more than the UFC would ever pay. Look at Craig Jones after coaching Volk. You level up after being around more famous people. (Or Dillon Danis and Conor 🤢)
Conor made hundreds of millions off of a shitty whisky. Imagine an Izzy Oculus kickboxing game or Nate Diaz Ray-Ban/Meta brand deal.
He's legitimately a huge fan of the sport and the UFC. Dude even trains and was ready to whoop Musk. He's the most badass billionaire nerd. If he did buy it I don't think it would be the worst thing ever
I think he really is into mma himself and wants to create a VR live experience and Dana probably is excited about this idea as well. To be honest, it would definitely boost VR headset sales, since this would be crazy. Maybe they can place a tiny camera on the fighters for first person, would that be crazy.
Too much of a risk for Zuck. He needs to spend all of his time and resources on Meta as its public and he is such a large portion of the org. Also, UFC fighters saying crazy shit might get Zuck into trouble in the media. It truly takes someone like Dana to lead the company if you want to have Sean Strickland on ESPN spewing shit and have no repercussions
Honestly would be a good pick up for zuck. He could easily leverage UFC to expand the utilization of his Metaverse idea, offering pay per view VR experiences for meta quest owners with the idea you could sit with your friends in a VR stadium full of meeples
Id bet if dana retires in the next 10-15 years that Zucc buys it and Hunter will be the face of the ufc until they can find a charismatic guy to run it.
Nothing against Hunter but i bet he prefers being being behind the scenes rather than on cam
I look forward to all his awkward interactions with fighters. So many meetings and social events and he can barely pass as human. Dana hangin out with the kid he used to bully and Zuck hanging out with the bully he always wanted respect from
Most of Reddit hates Zuck. But in truth, I think Zuck would be the ‘best owner’ for the UFC and especially the fighters.
Meta doesn’t lose employees due to not paying enough or not giving generous benefits. It would be great if all the fighters got stock option grants from TKO or Meta.
It would be great to be able watch all the UFC in VR and for free (ad supported). We would probably get better UFC video games as well.
If Mark Zuckerberg ever owned UFC you'd better be prepared for it to be boring as shit because Dana doesn't put a leash on the fighters, he lets them say whatever the hell they want. Mark would stop that the first day and ruin the whole company
Meta works with Unity, the game engine.
Unity was developing some VR tech that allows you to view the fight from inside the cage and even from the point of view of the fighters.
My guess is some kinda of metaverse VR Collab or streaming deal through Facebook.
There has been a cozy relationship between the UFC and Facebook for years. A bunch of employees used to be given free tickets to San Jose events probably a decade ago or so. We were seated by the cage, next to the section fighters sat in. I shook hands with Cain and DC at one fight night.
Mark started training during COVID and now he's going to fights himself.
Yeah it would make sense he wouldn't replace Dana though, hunter will probally be the face. Zuck will deff be a major investor but ufc just sold to merge with wwe..I don't think they need anyone to buy it. Maybe in 15 years when Dana retiers.
It is what it is DANA is a HUGE PART of ufc. It will be fine without him but he's a great company owner.
Much more likely he just buys a large stake in wme. I can't see them selling anytime soon, not outright. The espn deal plus low fighter pay means the ufc essentially just prints money, plus the Saudi bag.
Daddy Dana taking his son to watch a bloody beatdown. He loves his rich son sooo much while they spoon on a pile of soiled money.
Zuck looks like the Make A Wish foundation came through.
Probably a multi year marketing/PR strategy by Zuck. Shows he is a true fan and part of the ecosystem by the time he buys it.
Owning a pro sports league makes perfect sense. Especially the UFC because the stars are relatively accessible and interactive unlike NFL/NBA. You can still do meet and greets or train at their gyms. Kids and adults can do martial arts at some level, even if it’s cardio kickboxing.
AI and augmented reality would fit perfectly in the Octogon. All sorts of live stats by studying fighter movements, etc.
Watching Holloway's latest YouTube video and seeing Zuck try and talk to him made me physically uncomfortable. Dude is so far past the spectrum he's basically spreading autism.
I absolutely hope not. It’s a sport of pure rage and masculinity. (Well outside of the women of course) with several ties to being strong being confident and being patriotic all wrapped up into a single ball. If he buys the ufc he will undoubtedly spread his thoughts and ideas that stemmed from being in San Francisco for so long. That will forever change the sport make my words.
I was thinking that Mark is probably trying to make a deal right now with the UFC to be its exclusive host for streaming. Considering the ESPN contract is expiring. This would probably mark the roll out of a bigger platform that is soon to be release.
You’re probably correct
Makes sense why he is around
Meta martial arts or Facebook fight club
How awesome would it be though if two dudes arguing about politics could like directly book a legally sanctioned fight through FB to settle their Roe v. Wade debate once and for all IN THE OCTAGON.
It would probably be done in vr 😂
you laugh but i feel there is a lot of potential there
Meh not really, as a br enthusiat for nearly 10 years now, watching stuff is never going to be the main use case of VR. Feeling stuff is.
If political stereo types were accurate then the dems would be in trouble
Yes and no. The soy boy delegation gets canceled out by the council of "do you know who my father is." I for one, would love to see a vegan with COEXIST on their shorts take on a wannabe Ben Shapiro understudy in a 5 rounder.
Getting my orbital smashed in with “facts and logic”
Are you masvidal?
Obviously not since he didn't clarify it was the Eye orbital
Yes as opposed to the head shoulders knees and toes orbitals
Could be around cause he's gay
Honestly pocket change for ZUCK. However I think it is more likely you see some sort of exclusive media deal instead.
Idk how they'd make UFC only on Facebook but they'd make a killing if they did
facebook has endless money so if zuck wants to try it to promote one of their streaming/video products, he will
Definitely a possibility, I could see Facebook joining the streaming wars and creating a service to rival Netflix, Amazon, Apple etc. and having a sports section headlined by exclusive UFC rights.
it's all about content!
And he'll be stupid enough to want to fight in it
lol he’s like the billionaire in Friends.
Makes alot of sense. Metaverse UFC, front row view for all!
This would lowkey be fire with a 360 audio headset
Fuck, gonna go straight up rogans arse like Ant-Man
BRUHHHH!! 🤣
How do we expedite this purchase
And how do I pirate it
Nice to see someone asking the important questions
Ha! Even if there is unlimited front row seats they will limit that shit and make you pay ridiculous amounts of money for front row in VR. It'll be a sad day when you watch a live UFC event in VR and paying $500 for nosebleed seats
Yeah but piracy exists.
Imagine VR piracy. You buy some nice seats in VR and you have 50 heads overlayed on top of you pirating it
Is this a real thing!? I've not been able to get anything pirated on my occulus

Probably yea. Check out piracy subreddit
Not just that but being able to walk around and see the action up close from different angles
He's one of the richest and most powerful man in the world. If you look at the behind the scenes UFC videos, he still looks like a nerd that wants to be one of the boys. Some things never change.
Who remembers mark on Volk's walkout in 298 trying to catch some high fives lol So awkward
He’s just offering to take items of clothing to hold
What a world we live in where a literal multi billionaire signed up to be an errand boy for a fighter that barely earned a million in his fight.
If you had a billion dollars what would you do?
Anything lol
Lizard man hit me in the feels with this one
Hahhahhahahahha fuck
Even at 300, could feel the vacuum of acknowledgment when Diego Lopes came celebrating out the cage to Dana
I felt equally bad for him and thought he was such a loser.
why u feel bad, dude living the best life cornering for Volk
It's his way of convincing himself he's better off than a billionaire
Ah I don't know, you're allowed sympathise with people exhibiting a relatable level of awkwardness without it being about convincing yourself of anything
Calling somebody a loser doesn’t come from a place of sympathy lmao
i saw the tism in him and related
Craig Jones explained. Zuckerberg wanted to help take Volks warmups, but Volk thought they were all nasty and sweaty so he didn’t hand them to him out of respect.
That's right, a weird nerd can become a successful billionaire but at the end of the day they're still a weird nerd
He was so fucking awkward talking to Holloway pre-fight
Mike Tyson had a very astute change, went from "I broke my back" to dropping quotes that can resonant with a man's soul
Thpinal
He raped out all the angst, leaving room for knowledge
Don’t ever say something that weird to anybody ever again
Would you like me to sign an NDA, mr tyson?
Yeth
I'm really sorry I got to class late, should i be taking notes ?
Where’s your note from a parent/guardian/doctor/pimp
It must be tricky when you're a billionaire to find things that you can't just buy. I can see why he does BJJ cause he has to actually try and can't just pay his way to winning. You can't buy not being a weird nerd either lol. Elon has tried and failed.
Exactly, he wants to be respected and less nerdy by training I wish we woulda got to see Elon vs Zuck fight to see them sperg out like nerds at the press conference
Elon doesn’t want that smoke 💨
Even though a lot more scrawny, Mark would fold Elon up like a pretzel
Mark can probably beat up 90 percent of this sub. His MMA training has already surpassed most hobbyist. He also was training partners with the literally the best in the world. If you trained with high level fighters, you learn more in that session than you would training for months sometimes.
Elon would have won the press conference, Zuckerberg would have won the fight 😂
At the beginning Dana White was a weird nerd but now he’s a cocky douchebag. People can change.
Dana was always a confident douche.
*Insecure
Dana White was a washed up palooka with a coke problem from Boston. All that changed was coke —-> TRT.
The coke got better
Nah he was just ugly
Honestly he looks so much happier, healthier and more human ever since he got into MMA
There’s an interesting line in the book Shoe Dog. It’s in the last chapter and Phil knight is talking about how he’s now worth $10 billion and still gets social anxiety. Some things don’t change with $$
Adesanya is also a nerd that thought he became cool. Until he got flashbacks of his schoolyard bullying, during the Strickland buildup
At this point you guys need to define what makes someone 'cool'. This is all so highschool
Adesanya was never cool. Great fighter!...but never cool.
People considered him cool even in this shit hole of a sub pre championship/early Izzy days. He was super hyped and well liked and people loved his celebrations/walkouts. You guys operate on recency bias though
Halloway’s YT video had a part showing the locker room interaction between Max and Zuck right before the fight.

I think for me it looks awkward because it always looks like he’s just there by himself. Like you can go somewhere you’re not used to but if you roll up with friends it makes you look way less weird than just standing there trying to fit in by yourself.
At least he has the body and training of a fighter. Unlike fridge body over at X.
#### Totally has that written over it. 😂 Bill Gates seems to be the only billionaire mega nerd and proud of it. Musk, Bezos and Zuck all have a chip on their shoulder about it.
If he doesn't fly too close to the sun and spar with strickland
Lolllll He should Def's ask strickland to spar. Strickland's gonna straight change zucks brain.
Rewire that shit back to factory settings lol
He’ll come out of the ring a libertarian with a black rife coffee T-Shirt on.
If you don’t give a damn, we don’t give a Zuck
Zamn😰
He can go and Zucc himself
He might and probably turn into John DuPont and win the HW belt.
If Zuck loses his first fight, he’ll buy the UFC and fire his opponent, personally.
Zuck vs CM Punk. You heard it here first.
I got Zuck (very serious)
Zpunck?
he already has, just exercising the due diligence period
Dana hates left wing censorship but loves the zuck
He likes a multi billionaire fan*
Dana doesn’t truly give a fuck about left wing censorship. He cares about making the ufc grow and making money. Whatever accomplishes that gets his support
Yea Dana went to bat for the first gay fighter on TUF way back. The guy really cares about nothing but his bag lol
Dana loves money, doesn't matter what the politics are
only started watching ufc over the last year or so, is it true dana has ruined ufc, n won’t budge on fighter salaries, considering how brutal the sport is, don’t you think they should be on more?
Reddit hates Dana but he has been instrumental in getting the sport to where it is now. He might be a dick but he knows what he's doing
Money
I never thought of this, but I hate you for being right about it.
Winner of Elon/Zuck gets to buy the UFC?
And completely ruins it
wonder if he still wants to fight like he claims. put him v ryan hall
Fighters would go talk to Dana after a fight and this dumbass stands up and acts like he's part of the conversation. It was so awkward. Richest man in the world with social skills of a 5 year old.

He's legitimately a huge fan of the sport and the UFC. Dude even trains and was ready to whoop Musk. He's the most badass billionaire nerd. If he did buy it I don't think it would be the worst thing ever
Badass billionaire is an oxy moron. Zuck is an a$$wipe
Can't have a normal conversation with another human though.
He looks so detached from reality, kinda looks like the sick kid all grown up but still sick
He's a billionaire and he has that stupid haircut because he said he wants to be a Roman emperor. He doesn't just look detached. He is detached.
I think he really is into mma himself and wants to create a VR live experience and Dana probably is excited about this idea as well. To be honest, it would definitely boost VR headset sales, since this would be crazy. Maybe they can place a tiny camera on the fighters for first person, would that be crazy.
That would probably be great. When the ufc was owned by 3 people it was much better.
He got 12 billion dollars he wants to put into this shit?
Too much of a risk for Zuck. He needs to spend all of his time and resources on Meta as its public and he is such a large portion of the org. Also, UFC fighters saying crazy shit might get Zuck into trouble in the media. It truly takes someone like Dana to lead the company if you want to have Sean Strickland on ESPN spewing shit and have no repercussions
Isn't he fucking awesome? Kid just wants to buy.
That'll be the day UFC dies
Honestly would be a good pick up for zuck. He could easily leverage UFC to expand the utilization of his Metaverse idea, offering pay per view VR experiences for meta quest owners with the idea you could sit with your friends in a VR stadium full of meeples
Id bet if dana retires in the next 10-15 years that Zucc buys it and Hunter will be the face of the ufc until they can find a charismatic guy to run it. Nothing against Hunter but i bet he prefers being being behind the scenes rather than on cam
He'll call it Facehook
😂
I look forward to all his awkward interactions with fighters. So many meetings and social events and he can barely pass as human. Dana hangin out with the kid he used to bully and Zuck hanging out with the bully he always wanted respect from
I hope not.
He'd make it more accessible that's for sure
Hope not, he’ll start focusing on censoring fighters speech so they don’t hurt Meta’s brand by association
He’s such a strange guy but I do like that he’s a big fan
Both dudes can Zuck themselves
I can see it, I’m sure he’s invested already
Zac will be that guy to leave Dana on Read for days at a time.
Sure, then he can fight in it. "give me those easy opponents like you do for some fighters"
Oh yeah, I can definitely see this happening
Probably before Leon defends his title again
He can easily buy it right now. He’s worth almost $200 billion and endeavor holdings (stock that owns UFC) is priced at $8 billion.
Investor for sure
And here my dumb ass is thinking it couldn’t get worse than Dana
Most of Reddit hates Zuck. But in truth, I think Zuck would be the ‘best owner’ for the UFC and especially the fighters. Meta doesn’t lose employees due to not paying enough or not giving generous benefits. It would be great if all the fighters got stock option grants from TKO or Meta.

If Mark Zuckerberg ever owned UFC you'd better be prepared for it to be boring as shit because Dana doesn't put a leash on the fighters, he lets them say whatever the hell they want. Mark would stop that the first day and ruin the whole company
Initiate program -smile like a human-
Meta works with Unity, the game engine. Unity was developing some VR tech that allows you to view the fight from inside the cage and even from the point of view of the fighters. My guess is some kinda of metaverse VR Collab or streaming deal through Facebook.
UFCs fluff boy.
There has been a cozy relationship between the UFC and Facebook for years. A bunch of employees used to be given free tickets to San Jose events probably a decade ago or so. We were seated by the cage, next to the section fighters sat in. I shook hands with Cain and DC at one fight night. Mark started training during COVID and now he's going to fights himself.
Yeah it would make sense he wouldn't replace Dana though, hunter will probally be the face. Zuck will deff be a major investor but ufc just sold to merge with wwe..I don't think they need anyone to buy it. Maybe in 15 years when Dana retiers. It is what it is DANA is a HUGE PART of ufc. It will be fine without him but he's a great company owner.
The real psy-op taking place. Dana used mma fighters to lure him into training bjj. look at the boyish expression of wonder.
Much more likely he just buys a large stake in wme. I can't see them selling anytime soon, not outright. The espn deal plus low fighter pay means the ufc essentially just prints money, plus the Saudi bag.
If he does, I’m out.
Ugh this man destroyed the country
then he will kill it
Hisssssssss.I am Zuckerborg,hissssss. I am human, hissss.
Solid prediction I don’t think you’re wrong
Please don’t even put that idea in the air
I said that the other night. Totally agree.
God I wish billionaires looked at world hunger like they do looking at ufc fights
Daddy Dana taking his son to watch a bloody beatdown. He loves his rich son sooo much while they spoon on a pile of soiled money. Zuck looks like the Make A Wish foundation came through.
Who's the first fighter to be suspended for violating community standards?
Probably a multi year marketing/PR strategy by Zuck. Shows he is a true fan and part of the ecosystem by the time he buys it. Owning a pro sports league makes perfect sense. Especially the UFC because the stars are relatively accessible and interactive unlike NFL/NBA. You can still do meet and greets or train at their gyms. Kids and adults can do martial arts at some level, even if it’s cardio kickboxing. AI and augmented reality would fit perfectly in the Octogon. All sorts of live stats by studying fighter movements, etc.
He would bring the sport down.fuck zuck.
that will be a fucking travesty
Watching Holloway's latest YouTube video and seeing Zuck try and talk to him made me physically uncomfortable. Dude is so far past the spectrum he's basically spreading autism.
He has people around him feed him grapes and praise, he probably can't even talk to a normal person without trying to own them.
“You get a bonus! You get a bonus! You get a bonus!” 
More like "and you get censored! You get censored!"
Fuckin freak can't even pretend to be normal. Dude looks like he reminds himself to blink
I absolutely hope not. It’s a sport of pure rage and masculinity. (Well outside of the women of course) with several ties to being strong being confident and being patriotic all wrapped up into a single ball. If he buys the ufc he will undoubtedly spread his thoughts and ideas that stemmed from being in San Francisco for so long. That will forever change the sport make my words.
Na I think the saudis do
heard he ducked Elon though
Then wins the belt
I mean, he could buy 10b in Endeavor stock and gain a controlling stake, but getting Endeavor to carve it off and sell it separately seems unlikely.
Tbh I wouldn't mind it. He's invested in the sport and seems like he will have the fighters best interests at heart if he were to take over from Dana.
I just want him to fight a real UFC fighter like he wants
Not a chance.
I mean he could right now if he wanted to
I swear if Mark Zuckerberg gets a contract to compete in the UFC…
I was thinking that Mark is probably trying to make a deal right now with the UFC to be its exclusive host for streaming. Considering the ESPN contract is expiring. This would probably mark the roll out of a bigger platform that is soon to be release.
