Earlier this week, it was reported that UFC Vegas 61 would be closed to fans and media members trying to catch some early-October fights.

UFC Vegas 61’s main event attraction, Mackenzie Dern, revealed that Zuckerberg pulled a billionaire move and rented out the entire arena to watch the fights live. UFC president Dana White was quick to call that a “bulls—t” claim, suggesting that Zuckerberg had nothing to do with UFC Vegas 61’s lockdown.

Surprisingly, Zuckerberg was in attendance and spotted cageside during UFC Vegas 61’s “Prelims” undercard. His wife was by his side and he was front and center for the action. Sounds like Uncle Dana may have been fibbing all along. But why?
