At some point in the last couple of years, mixed martial arts has gained popularity among tech bros. However, even someone like Mark Zuckerberg, an avid combat sports enthusiast, is not immune to injuries.
Zuckerberg, who holds a blue belt in jiu jitsu, recently underwent surgery to repair an ACL injury. This setback has put his plans to participate in a real MMA match on hold for now.
In an Instagram post, Zuckerberg shared images of himself in the hospital bed, being taken care of by his wife Priscilla Chan. He expressed gratitude for the medical team and mentioned his disappointment about the delay in his MMA fight.
While Zuckerberg did not specify the exact competition he was preparing for, he has previously trained at Guerilla Jiu Jitsu in San Jose and sparred with professional fighters like Mike Muscemi, Israel Adesanya, and Khai "The Shadow" Wu.
Unfortunately, this means that the highly anticipated grudge match between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, who challenged him to a cage fight, is also likely to be postponed. The fight was supposed to take place in the UFC’s Venus Octagon, but it seems that fans will have to wait a bit longer for this showdown.
