Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> looked more like an iceberg over the weekend … floating on the middle of the lake and sparring with UFC pro Merab Dvalishvili.<\/p>\n

The tech entrepreneur shared a clip of the fight to Instagram Sunday … full of punches, kicks — and even Merab picking him up and running him around the barge while the two duked it out on.<\/p>\n

In the clip, Zuck’s wife — Priscilla Chan<\/a> — rolled by the barge in a kayak … and he tells her Merab made him take his shirt off so he’d look more like a fighter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg captioned the video, “Back on the barge with\u00a0@merab.dvalishvili. Round 2.”<\/p>\n

As you know, the Facebook founder’s no fighting rookie … he’s been training<\/a> with UFC stars like Merab, Alex Pereira<\/a> and more over the years — and he even won gold<\/a> at a jiu-jitsu tourney back in 2023.<\/p>\n

He also almost fought<\/a> fellow tech bro billionaire Elon Musk<\/a> at the Colosseum in Rome … though that fight ultimately never happened<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There might never be a gladiator match between the two … but a barge brawl clearly doesn’t seem out of the question!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Zuckerberg looked more like an iceberg over the weekend … floating on the middle of the lake…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":733000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-732999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/733000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
