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

Mark Zuckerberg was training for a fight early next year.

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.
