Interesting fight, the lowest common denominator I thought would be Dern's jiu-jitsu but on the ground Yan survives many submissions attempts and then punished Dern on her feet for the win.
Not sure what was going on with Mark Zuckerberg, he seemed to have rented out the whole place, I though he was going to be testing some VR/Metaverse stuff at UFC Vegas 61 but it looked a bit like a private showing with none of the fighters families in attendance.
What did you guys think? Here's some more info:

So weirdβ¦.. π I still think the UFC are looking to partner with Meta to provide an Oculus PPV event. This is all part of that.
Like with a headset on?
Yeah I think so, maybe you can rent a 360 degree 4k camera at Octagon side and get that live experience without actually being there.
Or maybe he just wanted a VIP experience, who knows, kinda sad if thatβs all it was.
Hereβs a list of Oculus events, I see One Championship is already on there.
Wonder if thatβs a full on MMA BR experience from Meta?
Dunno what happened to the post fight press conference π€·ββοΈ
