- Mark Zuckerberg excels in the discipline of Brazilian jiu-jitsu
- He even received congratulations from his trainer and MMA champion Conor McGregor
- The CEO of Meta was able to forget for a moment the setbacks of his group, which has made numerous layoffs in recent months
We didn’t necessarily expect it, but we have to face the facts: Mark Zuckerberg is very talented in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, a spectacular martial art derived from judo and ju-jitsu. On his Facebook page, the boss of Meta trumpeted: “I participated in my first jiu-jitsu tournament and won a few medals for the Guerrilla jiu-jitsu team”.

As you can see in this video of the tournament shared on Twitter, the leader gave his all to claim victory.
Mark Zuckerberg and his atypical hobbies
This feat even earned him the congratulations of MMA champion and former Irish boxer, Conor McGregor. Known for his colorful language, the fighter once again did not disappoint us by commenting on the leader’s publication: “Yo!!! F***ing awesome Mark”.
His coach, also very famous in this environment, Khai Wu, was full of praise for his student: “Seeing @zuck compete was pretty epic. No match was easy and everything was won. It was an honor to be able to train him and give him all the advice I could. »
Moreover, the boss of Meta has always had rather unconventional hobbies, as our colleagues from Fortune. He is particularly known for hunting wild boar armed with a bow and arrows. Another spectacular hobby: he sometimes practices foilboarding in Hawaii, and even filmed himself on the occasion of the national holiday holding an American flag.
His many hobbies in any case allow the manager to forget the setbacks of his business. If his group continues to record very substantial profits, the stock market value of Meta has indeed fallen sharply recently and by extension his personal fortune.
Death in the soul, the billionaire has therefore had to resolve to make layoffs within his company. Thus, the company dismissed 11,000 employees last November, and 10,000 other employees last March. However, these leaders confirm their company’s commitment to the metaverse, but also to generative AI on which it has many assets to succeed.
