Alex Pereira is known as popular with celebrities, and even had one A-list visitor in his dressing room just before his latest main event.
The Brazilian is currently time to take the walk for his UFC 313 Headliner against Magomed Ankalaev. Although he has to lock himself and get focused on what his fourth light-heavyweight title defense is in 11 months, he had no problem allowing Mark Zuckerberg Backstage with him.
Zuckerberg has trained with Pereira in the past and is known as a huge fan of MMA and in particular Jiu-Jitsu, where he trains with top stars, including Mikey Musumeci. He even applied Dana White, CEO of the UFC, as a board member at Meta.

Alex Pereira does not even seem to be someone who is too worried about his ins and outs, especially when he is locked up for a fight. This often causes funny photo -that he doesn't look like, even though he is in different bizarre situations.
This seemed to be the case again tonight, while, although completely dressed and ready for a world title fight, he posed for photos with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The couple gathered earlier to film content, but it is still to see what advice was given of the entrepreneur.
Pereira is now only a few moments removed from combating the most difficult test of his light-heavyweight title run in the number one competition Ankalaev. He has eliminated all newcomers in the past year, but is this time confronted with a cool grappler with the notorious Dagestani style.
Alex Pereira may have been hit by 'Mark Zuckerberg Curse'
Although the photo appears relatively harmless for most fans, there is a large amount that are concerned about the few well -known 'Zuckerberg Curse'. The Meta Boss is not wrong with rapper Drake in the sense that he likes to meet hunters and poses with them for great events.

Just like Drake, it seems that everyone who poses for a photo with the meta -boss loses their next fight and eventually continues with several defeats. He trained famous alongside Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya when they were champions, only a few months before their series lose.
And even at the lower level, Zuckerberg was seen alongside PFL star Khai Wu, who lost his debut in the promotion shortly thereafter. The comments under his photo with Pereira were not positive, where many simply answer 'noooooo' and it says that 'Patan' must break the curse.
