Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is evidently living it up in the “Sin City” Las Vegas, with a story and carousel post on Instagram showing pictures with wife Priscilla Chan and UFC player Alex Pereira, and even a video of the Facebook founder winning at poker amid others against Australian professional mixed martial artist (MMA) fighter Alex Volkonovski.

The post was simply captioned: “Great night seeing friends and some of my favorite fighters. Can’t wait for the rematch (sic)”.

Particularly the 12 second video where players pushed their chips towards winner Mark Zuckerberg was also posted to the Meta Chief’s ‘Stories’ on Instagram, where he tagged Alex Volkonovski saying “sorry Volk”.

Mark Zuckerberg in Las Vegas: Meets Alex Pereira, Alex Volkonovski

Besides his wife, Mark Zuckerberg’s Instagram post included pictures with UFC’s MMA fighter Alex Pereira, and Australian MMA player Alex Volkonovski. The UFC 313 match between Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira was held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, California (USA) on March 9.

Hilariously, after Magomed Ankalaev claimed the UFC light heavyweight title by defeating Alex Pereira 49-46, 48-47, 48-47, social media users began joking the defending champion was hit by ‘Zuckerberg curse’. Comments under Mark Zuckerberg’s photo with Pereira included exclaims such as “Nooooo” and prayers for ‘Poatan’ Alex Pereira to “break the curse”.

The gag is that anybody who poses with Mark Zuckerberg goes on to lose multiple matches — including previous “proof” seen from Alexander Volkanovski, Israel Adesanya, and Khai Wu’s string of losses after posing with the Meta chief.

Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘Fun Ski Weekend’ Holiday with Kids

Earlier on March 4, Mark Zuckerberg posted two videos on Instagram, showing his silhouette on the snow as he raced through the ski resort. The tech billionaire said he enjoyed a “fun ski weekend” with his kids — a first, since his knee surgery nearly 1.5 years ago.

An MMA enthusiast, Mark Zuckerberg had torn one of his anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in November 2023 while training for a fight. “Fun ski weekend with the kids! Enjoyed using Ray-Ban Meta glasses to capture video and our new Edits app to make this Reel. Launching to everyone soon,”, said Mark Zuckerberg’s caption.
