UFC president Dana White has rejected rumours that Mark Zuckerberg rented out the entire UFC Apex for UFC Vegas 61 this weekend.<\/p>\n
Mixed martial arts is a strange sport and in the blink of an eye, a rumour can spread like wildfire – and nobody knows that more than Dana White.<\/p>\n
The boss has been there and seen it all, especially since becoming the main man for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.<\/p>\n
Someone who has only recently taken up a love of MMA, though, is none other than Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, aka one of the richest men in the United States.<\/p>\n
Many fans and pundits were suspicious when it was noted that the UFC Apex will be closed to fans and media this weekend for UFC Vegas 61 with Dana refusing to give a full answer as to why. Earlier in the week, Mackenzie Dern<\/a> said the following<\/a> on the matter.<\/p>\n \u201cI know Mark Zuckerberg rented out the whole event. So, I know he\u2019ll be there, but I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just like literally him and his wife or if he\u2019s gonna have friends or if it\u2019s just like a small party, I don\u2019t know,\u201d Dern said at\u00a0media day<\/a>. \u201cFrom going to a main event to a crowd to very, very private, I\u2019m definitely like, okay we are back like sparring. It\u2019s a different type of adversity they have to get to because you get distracted so easily. So any like commentating or anything, if you\u2019re not focused, your mind can get distracted. So I\u2019m excited and that just makes me more driven to put on a good show for I know everyone\u2019s watching on tv, but for Mark and whoever\u2019s gonna be there. Put on a show, that\u2019s what they wanna see is a show. We\u2019re gonna give a show.\u201d<\/p>\n When he heard about this, Dana White responded<\/a> via social media.<\/p>\n Mark Zuckerberg did NOT rent out the UFC Apex. That\u2019s total bullshit. https:\/\/t.co\/VbdFATcltd<\/a><\/p>\n — danawhite (@danawhite) September 29, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
