When Mark Zuckerberg stepped onto the Jiu-Jitsu mat, the fight community’s responses were more scrambled than his algorithm! Recently, the Meta CEO shocked the world when he participated in a Jiu-Jitsu competition and bagged multiple medals. Some people were left impressed by this, but not everyone seemed to share the same enthusiasm.
Recently, the tech mogul has been training with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt competitor Michael Musumeci. Musumeci is a highly accomplished athlete, boasting an impressive track record in the world of Jiu-Jitsu. Moreover, he has clinched numerous titles, including four World Championships and a Pan American Championship in colored belts. Also, Musumeci is the current flyweight submission grappling champion at ONE Championship.
