In the interview, Aswale asked Wu about his experience with Zuckerberg. The PFL fighter had great respect for Zuckerberg. This is what he had to say about the billionaire to Aswale in the interview given to FirstSportz.

Training with him is great. It's been awesome, you know. I thought it was a one-time thing, and next thing you know, a year and a half later, I've been training with him all the time. How he is as a person is he's a nice man. Like a lot of people can say whatever they want on TV, you know, we can say whatever we want on TV, but the thing is we've never met that person, so we can only assume. I've actually met the guy, you know, and I'm like, 'Wow, he's really nice. He's really cool.' I can't say enough good things about him because of my personal experiences. And again, these are all my personal experiences. I don't know who else has experiences with him, but these are all mine, and he's been nothing but great.

Khai Wu is currently preparing for his debut in PFL. He talked about feeling nervous about his upcoming fight and its significance because PFL remains a major MMA promotion. The PFL has highly touted strikers in their roster like Francis Ngannou and Cedric Doumbe, to name a few. Moreover, there are rumors that Bellator MMA will merge with PFL, creating a powerful rival for the UFC, the premier MMA promotion in the world. Moreover, in addition to training with Zuckerberg, he also mentioned his session with Mikey Musumeci which left him very impressed.

This is what Wu had to say regarding the rival comic and film franchise.

Right now for the movies, obviously I think Marvel's killing it. I grew up on the Justice League, though, so I grew up on DC, so I love DC. I know about DC a lot more; however, right now, Marvel's just doing a much better job."

Moreover, Wu also spoke about growing up as an Asian in a neighborhood with no Asians. He credited taking up Martial Arts in his childhood mainly due to this.
