With each passing day, Mark Zuckerberg, the magnate who owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is becoming more involved in the world of combat sports. Just last week, the businessman, frequently seen at UFC events, trained with Alex Poatan , one of the organization's stars. The incident caused quite a stir, with some fans mocking the American for his supposed lack of technique and frail physique. However, Dana White came to his friend's defense.

During his appearance on the podcast 'The Skinny Confidential', the UFC president issued an important warning to Zuckerberg's haters. While the businessman is part of the technology industry, Dana stressed that he possesses more than just computer knowledge.

“People talk badly about Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg is actually a great athlete. He trains MMA, surfs, does all those things. Zuckerberg would beat you up. Everyone thinks he's a nerd, but Zuckerberg would give you a real beating. All those guys who talk badly about him on the internet, he would destroy them all. The moral of the story is, for all you phone and internet bullies who talk badly about Zuckerberg: he would beat each and every one of you. Just so you know,” said the UFC president.
