As the Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk super fight gains traction, the spotlight is currently shining on the Meta boss’s remarkable achievement in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The 39-year-old tech mogul embarked on his BJJ journey during the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, Zuckerberg captured headlines by showcasing his prowess in the white belt divisions, securing both gold and silver medals.

The Twitter chairman has also dipped his toes into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, demonstrating his passion for the martial art. Recently, he trained with none other than UFC legend Georges St-Pierre. However, unlike Zuckerberg, Musk has not competed in any formal tournaments nor attained any belt rank in BJJ.

Although Zuckerberg still doesn’t match the skill level in BJJ of UFC commentator Joe Rogan or the purple belt holder actor Tom Hardy, the Meta CEO has certainly climbed the ladder and earned a higher rank.
