Mark Zuckerberg’s ACL Injury
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL, which he sustained during mixed-martial arts (MMA) training. The tech mogul shared the news on Instagram, revealing that he had just gotten out of surgery to replace his ACL. Zuckerberg expressed his disappointment as the injury has delayed his plans to compete in a competitive MMA fight early next year. However, he remains optimistic and looks forward to participating in the fight once he has fully recovered.
Passion for MMA
Over the past few years, Zuckerberg has developed a keen interest in MMA and competitive fighting. He has been actively training in various martial arts disciplines, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In fact, he even participated in his first jiu-jitsu tournament earlier this year, where he won both a gold and silver medal.
Verbal Exchange with Elon Musk
Zuckerberg’s recent ACL injury follows a brief exchange between him and Tesla CEO Elon Musk regarding a possible cage match. Although the fight never materialized, Zuckerberg mentioned in a Facebook post that he and Musk had considered the idea. However, Zuckerberg stated that Musk was not serious about it, leading him to move on from the topic. While Dana White, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, offered to organize a charity match between the two executives, Musk never confirmed a date.
Focusing on Serious Competitors
Despite the setback, Zuckerberg remains determined to compete with individuals who take the sport seriously. He expressed his willingness to participate in a legitimate competition for charity if Elon Musk were to show genuine interest. Until then, Zuckerberg will continue to focus on his recovery and training, eagerly awaiting his return to the MMA arena.
