The much-anticipated cage fight between Elon Musk & Mark Zuckerberg may be delayed because the Meta founder injured himself during preparation and required surgery. Zuckerberg wrote on Instagram, “Tore my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) sparring and merely got out of surgery to replace it.” He appeared to be preparing for his next competitive mixed martial arts (MMA) battle. ” I was preparing for an MMA fight early next year, but that was pushed back a bit.” I still look forward to doing it after my recovery is complete.” “Thank you for your love and support,” the Meta CEO stated late Friday. His fans wished him a quick recovery. For elite athletes, recovery from such an injury can take up to a year.
Last month, Zuckerberg shared an Instagram selfie that showed his face bloated and marred by many bruises behind his eyes and on his nose. According to the Meta CEO, everything happened when sparring, a typical training approach in combat sports, got out of hand. Mark Zuckerberg has been interested in combat sports including MMA and Jiu-Jitsu for quite some time. He’s becoming more active when X-owner Musk challenged him to a “cage fight.” The fight was first mentioned when Musk responded to a tweet in June about Meta releasing a Twitter (now X) competitor. Musk announced in August that the cage fight with Zuckerberg will be live-streamed from an incredible location in Italy. After several years of training, Zuckerberg was just awarded his blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by his mentor, Professor Dave Camarillo.
