As of November 12, 2025, UFC president Dana White has made a surprising claim about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. White insists that the 5ft 7in billionaire is not a "computer nerd" and could "beat the s*** out of you."
Zuckerberg, who is currently worth an estimated £164 billion, has undergone a significant transformation since his early portrayal as a socially awkward genius in the 2010 film "The Social Network." In recent years, the 41-year-old has been regularly training in MMA and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, earning himself a blue belt.
Zuckerberg's athletic prowess has not gone unnoticed by White, who has been impressed by the Meta CEO's skills and athleticism. "Zuckerberg will beat the living s*** out of you," White said on a recent podcast. "All these guys that talk stuff about him on the internet, he'll kick their a**."
The UFC boss even spoke about the brief window of time when a potential fight between Zuckerberg and tech rival Elon Musk, 54, was being discussed. "That whole thing was fascinating," White said. "A fun moment in my career... promoting the Elon-Zuckerberg fight and trying to put that thing together was a lot of fun, too."
While the Zuckerberg-Musk fight never materialized, the Meta CEO has continued to train and compete in grappling tournaments, even earning a gold and silver medal in his first Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition earlier this year. Zuckerberg has also been spotted training with some of the UFC's biggest stars, including Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski.
