It is unclear if Zuckerberg's passion for combat sports will see him ringside or Octagonside at future events, however, there's a lot of shows on the horizon he'd be able to pick from.
The UFC, the market-leading MMA firm, returns with a pay-per-view event from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on September 10 with a headline match that pits dominant force Khamzat Chimaev against fan favorite Nate Diaz.
If Zuckerberg didn't want to leave California, he could check out Bellator 286, which takes place October 1 at the Long Beach Arena and feature's the state's high-flying force A.J. McKee.
