Song Yadong knocks out Umar! He's one step closer to his dream championship fight.
FWD from RBC Sport: Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili fought on the high seas. The fight ended with both participants going overboard. This is Zuckerberg's second sparring session with the Georgian fighter. "Second round against Mark Zuckerberg. Machine against machine. Let's do this every day, Mark," Dvalishvili said in the video. The billionaire has long trained with UFC stars, including Dvalishvili and Alex Pereira. In 2023, he won gold in a jiu-jitsu tournament. Previously, the possibility of a fight with Elon Musk was actively discussed—they even suggested the bout in Rome, but it never came to fruition. Dvalishvili lost his UFC title to Russian Petr Yan on December 6, 2025. He is one of the greatest fighters in the history of the bantamweight division. Since 2024, he has defended his title three times.
