Everyone was laughing at poor Zuck for being so awkward.

At a young age of 40, Zuck seems to have it all.

Founded the largest social media network in history.

Once the youngest billionaire in the world.

Wanted to fight Elon Musk in mortal combat.

And now, showing the world how much he loves MMA.

And we used to think he was a robot?

Come on.

Known for his stoic demeanor and nerdy persona, Zuck’s recent appearance at UFC 298 was anything but seamless.

As far as training with warriors goes, this is pretty hardcore.

Despite his newfound passion for MMA and talks of a potential cage match with fellow tech titan Elon Musk, Zuckerberg’s presence at the event sparked a wave of hilarious memes that depicted him as awkwardly out of place.

Zuckerberg, whose net worth is estimated at over $100 billion, has been diving deep into the world of mixed martial arts.

His recent training sessions with UFC stars and his public support for fighters like Australian Alex Volkanovski have made headlines.

But his appearance at UFC 298, where he was seen bobbing his head to music and awkwardly trying to help pass items in the fighters’ corner, turned him into meme fodder.

Pure internet comedy.

Who loves the nerdy boy who can fight?

Social media had a field day, comparing him to a helpful intern, a clueless group project member, and even someone trying to assist at a grocery store checkout.

Beyond his personal interest in MMA, his involvement likely stems from a combination of genuine passion and strategic image-building.

Perhaps he wants to show the world that tech bros can battle in the ring too?

Why do ultra-wealthy, middle-aged men like Zuckerberg feel the need to get into the ring?

It’s a phenomenon that’s baffling yet fascinating.
