However, thanks to Mackenzie Dern, that did not quite go according to plan. She revealed in a pre-event press conference that Zuckerberg was going to be in the audience and Dana White had to come forward and deny it.

That’s total bullshit. twitter.com/MMARoasted/sta… Sodiq Yusuff, who secured a 30-second submission win on the main card of the event, spoke on the matter to James Lynch in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA. He disclosed that all fighters were aware of the Zuckerberg situation, but they weren't supposed to discuss it with the media:
"A lot of us kinda knew, there was rumors going around that it was Mark Zuckerberg.

I don't think Mackenzie [Dern] was supposed to say that at the press conference. She was definitely not supposed to say that but I think every fighter knew." Yusuff said that he himself was told about it on the Tuesday before the fight. However, his was the only fight that the Meta CEO did not see on that night.
