Mark Zuckerberg throws kicks and punches in viral video | Watch

While this is a rare instance of watching the Meta CEO try his hands at a combat sport, it is becoming increasingly common for centri-billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and even the richest person in the world, Elon Musk, take "fitness" seriously.

Mark Zuckerberg was recently caught on camera throwing kicks and punches ahead of a fight. No, we are not talking about a fight in the metaverse.

The Meta CEO on Saturday shared a video of him sparring with one of his training partners, Khai Wu, also known as "The Shadow" ahead of his debut on UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Fight Pass -- an American subscription-based video streaming service on combat sports action.

"One of my training partners, Khai Wu, is making his UFC Fight Pass debut tonight. Go get it Khai and looking forward to a great fight!" Zuckerberg shared on Instagram with the video.
