Screenshots from Merab Dvalishvili sparring Mark Zuckerberg

‘The Machine’ was shockingly outworked and outpointed by Petr Yan at UFC 323 on December 6.

Merab Dvalishvili‘s legendary run at 135lbs means he will almost certainly get an immediate rematch in 2026.

So, he’s decided to stay busy by moving around with Facebook billionaire and MMA fanatic Mark Zuckerberg.

Merab Dvalishvili spars Mark Zuckerberg

Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared a sparring session with Alex Pereira.

The UFC light heavyweight champion was clearly taking it easy and trying not to hurt Zuckerberg.

Merab Dvalishvili pulled his punches, but his spar with the tech mogul was much more real.

11 minutes of footage from their three-round training session has gone viral on social media.

It shows Dvalishvili landing proper shots on his overmatched but always improving opponent.

Zuckerberg managed to score a couple of takedowns on the Georgian fighter famous for his wrestling.

Dvalishvili made him pay for his ambition with a Stockton Slap that Nate Diaz would be proud of.

Dana White warns trolls about Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg has been training in various martial arts since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Still, the 41-year-old is often ridiculed by fans who don’t believe he can actually fight.

Dana White warned trolls of Zuckerberg’s fighting pedigree as he defended his friend in November.

“People talk s— about (Mark) Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg is a great athlete,” the UFC CEO said. “He trains in MMA, he surfs, he does all this s—. You know, everybody — Zuckerberg will beat the s— out of you, okay?

“Everybody thinks he’s some computer nerd, Mark Zuckerberg will beat the living s— out of you. All these guys that talk stuff about him on the internet, yeah, he’ll kick your a–.”

“The moral of the story is, all of you, you know, telephone tough guys and internet tough guys that talk s— about Mark Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg will beat the s— out of every one of you.”
