Think twice before you criticize Mark Zuckerberg on the internet. The Meta CEO can fight now! Recently, Zuckerberg left the world surprised after participating in his first-ever Jiu-Jitsu tournament. Winning gold and silver medals in GI and no Gi Jiu-Jitsu at Woodside High School in Woodside, the billionaire CEO left many in disbelief. It’s been over a month since the competition, yet fans are still buzzing about this unexpected feat.

Recently, Zuckerberg made an appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast for the second time. In the two-hour-long podcast, the two personalities talked about everything from Meta and AI to Zuckerberg’s passion for Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. Interestingly, one specific conversation between Fridman and Zuckerberg ignited some wild reactions from many listeners!

Mark Zuckerberg described as Khabib Nurmagomedov

When the two were talking about the American business magnate’s fighting style, Zuckerberg sounded very confident in his abilities. According to him, he is a pressure player and can defeat a top-ranked opponent. “I like Jiu-Jitsu. I also really like MMA. And, I think my style, I’m probably more pressure, and I’d probably rather beat the top player,” said Zuckerberg.

Moreover, Fridman made a bold comparison between Zuckerberg and Khabib Nurmagomedov! “You are basically like the Khabib Nurmagomedov type of fighter.” Upon being asked about his favorite submission, the 39-year-old named a solid variation for the rear naked choke.
