Mark Zuckerberg Undergoes Knee Surgery following a Knee Injury suffered during Training for an upcoming Mixed Martial Arts Competition

Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has undergone surgery after suffering a knee injury while practicing for an upcoming mixed martial arts tournament.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Zuckerberg disclosed that he had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.

In the post, the 39-year-old posted a series of pictures of himself from a hospital bed, with one of his knees in an elaborate brace.

“Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me.”

The billionaire said that due to his injury, the competitive MMA fight he was training for is now delayed.

“I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that’s delayed a bit,” Zuckerberg said. “Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support.”
