‘Game-Changing’ Meta partnership with the UFC

As reported by MMAonSI.com, UFC CEO Dana White has forged a partnership with Meta.

White joined the Meta board of directors in the earlier part of the year but went on a rant about Facebook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg joining forces to update the UFC rankings for some time now.

In an update via Instagram, White made an announcement and update about UFC 316. He gave fans an update on what’s to come with the UFC.

On April 2, Dana White made his big announcement.

White said, “Meta will become UFC’s first-ever fan-technology partner. […] This means Meta will use all of its badass apps and technology like Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Whatsapp, and Meta AI to create amazing content and experiences for UFC fans.”

“We’ve already started working with Meta to create a new fighter rankings system that will debut later this year, thank god” White continued.

White said, “We’ll also be using Meta’s AI powered glasses to capture UFC content. And we’re gonna do things with Meta that will blow UFC fans away. The next few years will be an absolute game-changer for fans of this sport. Stay tuned everybody.”

In time, fans will just have to wait to see what new changes Meta and the UFC implement to make combat sports more appealing to the masses.
