Overview

• The Meta CEO arrived during the prelims and sat cageside, with the UFC posting “In the building early” as his presence drew wide attention.
• Zuckerberg congratulated Daniel Santos after his knockout win, and Santos said they have maintained a three-year friendship with regular messages and gestures.
• He spent time backstage with Alex Pereira before the main event and later posted photos congratulating Pereira, Merab Dvalishvili, Jiří Procházka, and Santos while thanking Dana White and the UFC.
• Joe Rogan joked on the broadcast that “Alex is probably asking why he’s shadow-banned,” a moment that fueled social-media memes and revived lighthearted Musk-fight chatter.
• UFC 320 sold out with 19,081 in attendance and an $8.84 million gate, as Zuckerberg’s visibility followed Meta’s April UFC partnership and Dana White’s January move to Meta’s board, with White saying Zuckerberg could compete in the UFC’s new UFC BJJ venture.
