The Paris Olympics 2024  is up and running and the world is enjoying witnessing the best athletes in action. However, it seems Mark Zuckerberg is taking part in his own Olympics. The Meta CEO seems to be competing with the light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira. Pereira defended his title at UFC 303 in extraordinary fashion by knocking out Jiri Prochazka. However, it seems the Brazilian is now enjoying a bit of free time from his hectic schedule.

Zuckerberg took to his Instagram account to share a video of him competing with ‘Poatan’. The 40-year-old picked a variety of sports where he tried to defeat the champion. What followed was an interesting caption which read as, “Olympics with @alexpoatanpereira. Chama!”

Alex Pereira in the video is competing in multiple sports, which include swimming, boxing, weightlifting, etc. A professional fighter is expected to come out on top against a guy like Zuckerberg. While the 40-year-old does have a special liking for MMA, no one expects him to beat the champion. However, he did manage to do the unthinkable.

During the video he knocked out the Brazilian, which caught the attention of the fans as one of them commented, “He knocked out Poatan @zuck.” Pereira is waiting for his next fight in the UFC and is eyeing a move to a new division. However, the fans have found him a new opponent, “Alex vs Zuck Dana book it!!” This is not the first time Zuckerberg has uploaded a video doing a variety of things. The last time he participated in surfing, which forced one of the fans to comment, “Zuck is Allrounder Guy.”

One of the users seemed highly worried about the health of the Meta CEO. The 40-year-old recently underwent surgery and one of his fans showed his concern towards him, “Mr. Zuck! you’re extremely important for this world please don’t harm your Health!” Zuckerberg has been lately seen on UFC events supporting many fighters.
