Mark Zuckerberg has a fortune sufficient to indulge in whatever he wants. In fact, last weekend there was a rumor that the creator of Facebook bought UFC Vegas 61, a mixed martial arts event that took place at the company's facilities, presided over by Dana White.

According to the images circulating on the company's social media, the CEO of Meta attended the event with his wife Priscilla Chan and a group of friends. They were the only spectators at the UFC Apex. It can be considered a private show because there were no usual fans or media presence.
So, due to the exclusivity, it is believed that the tech guru paid a millionaire sum to have the arena at his disposal for him and his close ones. In fact, Mackenzie Dern (who faced Yan Xiaonan in the main event of the night) said: "I know Mark Zuckerberg rented the entire event, so I know he will be there".
However, UFC President Dana White dismissed that version through a message on his official Twitter account: "Zuckerberg did not rent the UFC Apex. That's total bullshit.", commented the strongman of the company, who appears in a photo alongside Mark and was uploaded to the company's profile.
UFC fighters react
White's statement didn't convince everyone. In that sense, Al Iaquinta has doubts about Mark Zuckerberg's role in this story and said: "The best part of live UFC events is seeing how the crowd goes crazy as if they were at home", suspecting the absence of people.
On the other hand, Nathan Quarry joked: "Yes, who among us hasn't bought an entire stadium to see fighters fight and not be bothered by being among the dirty masses? The fact that UFC thinks this is a great marketing opportunity shows how disconnected they are. I'm old enough to remember that fighters are the main attraction. Not the promoter. And certainly not a guest at the fights.".
The viral reaction of Zuckerberg's wife
Priscilla Chan, Meta's boss's wife, was one of the exclusive attendees at UFC Vegas 61. The woman is as much a fan of mixed martial arts as Mark. Despite this, the event held last Saturday left an image of her that went viral on the internet.
Zuckerberg's partner was seen horrified by the blows exchanged between Trevin Jones and Raoni Barcelos. The brief clip captured Chan covering her face and making a surprised gesture by what was happening inside the cage.
