Mark Zuckerberg said he would come back stronger after picking up an injury during a mixed martial arts training.
The tech entrepreneur took to martial arts during the Covid 19 lock down in 2020 and has hooked with the likes of Israel Adesanya to brush up his skills.
“Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it,” the Facebook co-founder, 39, shared via Instagram on Friday.
“Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that’s delayed a bit.
“Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support.”
In May he competed in a Jiu Jitsu tournament and was happy to win gold and silver medals for his team the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu.
The following month, he made headlines when Tesla CEO Elon Musk seemingly challenged him to a “cage match.”
Both billionaires went back and forth on social media following online discussion about their competing apps.
But in August, Zuckerberg claimed in a Threads post that Musk would not confirm a date. “If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.”
