Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg underwent surgery after tearing his cruciate ligament during mixed martial arts training.
Zuckerberg said he had an MMA fight planned for early next year – but those plans would likely have to be adjusted.
On Friday afternoon, he posted a series of photos from his hospital bed – the caption detailing the announcement of his ordeal.
“I tore my anterior cruciate ligament in sparring and just came out of surgery to have it replaced.” “Grateful for the doctors and team who took care of me,” Zuckerberg, 39, wrote on Instagram.
“I was training for an MMA competition early next year, but now that has been delayed a bit.

Zuckerberg went under the knife and began the months-long recovery process

“I’m still looking forward to doing it after I recover.” “Thanks everyone for the love and support.”
It’s not exactly clear who Zuckerberg was scheduled to fight early next year, and it wasn’t publicly announced that a fight was planned.
He has been seen training with the likes of Henry Cejudo and has become friends with top MMA fighters Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski.
Zuckerberg had publicly argued with Tesla CEO Elon Musk and challenged his fellow tech billionaire to a fight – but nothing came of it.
Both billionaires blamed each other for why a fight never happened, but Musk went on Joe Rogan’s podcast earlier this week and said he would fight Zuckerberg “anytime, anywhere, any place.”
