Overview
- Zuckerberg posted an Instagram video Sunday showing a full-contact sparring session on a barge in Lake Tahoe that included punches, kicks and takedowns.
- The clip begins and ends with Dvalishvili hoisting Zuckerberg and throwing him into the water, and Zuckerberg’s wife Priscilla Chan appears by kayak during the encounter.
- Zuckerberg captioned the post 'Back on the barge with @merab.dvalishvili. Round 2,' marking a follow-up to their first public spar in a gym on Dec. 17, 2025.
- Merab Dvalishvili is presented in the footage as an elite pro—he is a former UFC bantamweight champion, was top-ranked in May 2026, and holds the promotion’s record for takedowns.
- The session was staged with a referee, camera crews and nearby boat spectators, underscoring how Zuckerberg’s public training with UFC fighters has turned into repeated viral content that blurs the line between practice and performance.
