LAS VEGAS — Mark Zuckerberg attended an exclusive UFC event Saturday, and video footage appears to show the Facebook billionaire's wife Priscilla Chan writhing in shock as people punched each other right in front of her.

Events at the Apex in Las Vegas, which is a UFC-owned facility, are typically VIP experiences as the TV studio holds approximately 500 people.

Rumors of Zuckerberg's appearance escalated when the market-leading MMA firm confirmed earlier this week that the weekend's show would be held behind closed doors.

But the weekend's "UFC Fight Night" event would be held with no fans, UFC said midweek, and, in an unprecedented move, with no media permitted, either.

When Insider and other reporters questioned this, the UFC president Dana White laughed it off by suggesting it was because he wanted to give reporters the week off.

Headlining fighter Mackenzie Dern then told media members Thursday that she'd been told Zuckerberg would be attending.

At the event itself, Zuckerberg took his Octagonside seat at approximately 3.00 p.m. local time and could be seen on the ESPN+ broadcast sitting with Chan.

It was not long before Chan's facial expressions became the talk of social media as the apparent reality of what ultimate fighting is all about started to dawn on the Harvard-educated 37-year-old.

The "UFC Fight Night" event Saturday was an 11-fight card that featured knockouts, submissions, and decisions.

The UFC returns to the Apex for another Fight Night event on October 15.

There are currently only four booked bouts including a women's flyweight match between Alexa Grassa and Viviane Araujo.
