Mark Zuckerberg tore his ACL training for a competitive MMA fight (not likely against Elon Musk)

For those hoping the fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk will still happen at some point, don’t expect to see it anytime soon.

In a post shared to Instagram Saturday, Zuckerberg said he had surgery to replace a torn ACL suffered while sparring as part of his training for a competitive MMA match early next year.

It’s unclear who the Meta boss was preparing to fight, but he said the bout will now be delayed.

In August, it seemed like a cage match between Zuckerberg and Musk was finally coming together after a bunch of back and forth. Musk even offered details of a location, saying it would take place in Rome. However, a few days later, Zuckerberg called off the fight, claiming Musk wasn’t being serious.

“If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me,” Zuckerberg said.

There hasn’t been much word on the matter since, so I doubt Zuckerberg was preparing to fight Musk. But whoever he was preparing to fight, they’ll have to wait a little longer.
