In was another shocking revelation, the businessman said: “’I really like watching UFC for example, but I also like doing the sport.
“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,” he continued. “Because it’s like, if you stop paying attention for one second, you’re gonna end up on the bottom.”

It comes after earlier this year when Paddy Pimblett called out Zuckerberg in a post-match interview following his win over Rodrigo Vargas at UFC London, saying that he wanted to fight the CEO.
“Who do I want to fight? Mark Zuckerberg. Lad I’m going to punch your head in, I am sick of you. Sick of you shutting my Instagram accounts down when all I do is help charities and help people with mental health problems.
“You’re the biggest bully in the world, lad.”
