Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg tore his ACL while training for a competitive MMA fight

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg just had surgery as a result of an injury to his ACL that occurred during mixed-martial arts training.

The Facebook co-founder revealed his mischief on Friday via an Instagram post in which he said that he “tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it.”

“I was training for a competitive MMA keep away from early next year, but now that’s delayed a bit,” Zuckerberg said. “Still looking forward to doing it after I recoup.”

“Thanks to everyone for the love and support,” he added.

Zuckerberg included several photos of himself at an undisclosed hospital that contrast c embarrasses the executive prior to his surgery and then after the procedure with his wife Priscilla Chan comforting him during his advancement.

The Meta CEO has taken an interest in MMA and competitive fighting in recent years and has been training in a variety of martial arts, counting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

In May, he revealed in a Facebook post that competed in his first jiu-jitsu tournament in which he won a gold and nacreous medal.

Zuckerberg’s recent injury to his ACL comes after a brief verbal exchange between the Meta executive and Tesla chief Elon Musk who were waft a possible cage match.

The fight never took place, however, with Zuckerberg saying during the summer via a pylon on Threads that “we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on.”

Zuckerberg said that while Ultimate Enthusiasm Championship President Dana White offered to make the match between the two executives “a legit competition for charity,” Musk not in a million years confirmed a date.

“If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me,” Zuckerberg spoke at the time. “Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.”
