Exclusive: LA management house 3Point0 Labs has acquired digital content agency Thirty Three Media.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but this marks a second recent investment for Marquel Martin’s 3Point0 Labs, following the launch of its talent and literary division earlier this month.
Thirty Three Media is social- and digital-first content agency that works with brands, entertainment figures and athletes such as Mma star Francis Ngannou. In that sense, it is a strong fit with 3Point0 Labs, whose founder Martin is the manager of UFC heavyweight champion and boxer Ngannou.
Further tying the two companies is the fact Thirty Three founder Randy Faehnrich is a producer, creator, and former head of social media at the UFC, where he oversaw huge growth at its social channels. Thirty Three counts Ngannou, who lost his recent heavyweight boxing clash with Anthony Joshua, on its books along with UFC stars...

First Israel Adesanya and now Alexander Volkanovski, the world of mixed martial arts has witnessed two major upsets, and fans have blamed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for it. While heading into UFC 293, Adesanya was the favorite to take the win home, and so was the case for Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298, both of them were handed losses.
Surprised by the turn of events, fans have come forward to blame Zuckerberg, claiming the champions’ prior meeting with the Meta CEO jinxed them.

Mark Zuckerberg has quite the appetite!
The Facebook founder took to Threads — his latest social media platform — where he replied to a post from McDonald’s asking if their followers wanted anything from the famous fast-food chain.
“20 nuggets, a quarter pounder, large fries, Oreo McFlurry, apple pie, and maybe some side cheeseburgers for later?” Zuckerberg replied, giving followers a look at his huge Mickey D’s order.
Mma fighter, Mike Davis jokingly chastised Zuckerberg’s order, reminding the tech CEO that he’s currently in training for his reported fight with Elon Musk.
“You’re in camp! No Mcdonalds ,” Davis wrote.
“Not cutting weight so I need ~4000 calories a day to offset all the activity,” Zuckerberg replied, revealing his massive 4,000 calorie-a-day diet. “And it’s so delicious…”
Zuckerberg’s McDonald’s confession comes just weeks after he showed off his fit physique.

Elon Musk may have to watch his back if Mark Zuckerberg decides to take his cage match challenge seriously.
The Facebook founder recently showed off his abs on Instagram as he stood next to UFC fighters Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski. The trio posed shirtless in Zuckerberg’s Lake Tahoe home in California.
Adesanya, who posted the pictures, suggested that there was nothing fake about Zuckerberg as he wrote in the caption, “No fugazi with Mark This is Serious Business”
In response to Zuckerberg’s toned abs, Instagram users expressed their detached concerns for the Tesla founder.
“Guess Elon gonna have to hide in Mars now,” wrote one user.
“Zuck’s dedication to winning the fight against Elon is unprecedented,” said another.
“Now Musk want[s] to know your location,” a third person commented, referring to Zuckerberg’s reply to Musk’s challenge last month.
