Mark Zuckerberg‘s putting his martial arts training to good use — the Facebook founder won gold and silver medals at a local jiu-jitsu tourney in Northern California … his first time competing!
38-year-old Zuckerberg kicked ass at a tourney on Saturday in Redwood City, CA — about 10 miles from Palo Alto — where he put his new skills on display, competing in both Gi (jacket) and no Gi.
It’s super impressive for a guy who has only been training for a short amount of time. In fact, Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan last year that he began practicing martial arts during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite Mark winning most of his matches, the day wasn’t without controversy. During one fight, Zuckerberg became visibly upset with a ref. It’s unclear why Zuck was upset, but after a short, but rather heated convo with the official and his opponent, everyone shook hands.

But, all in all … Zuck was awesome.
And, some of the biggest stars in MMA congratulated him on the medals … with guys like Israel Adesanya, Brandon Moreno, and Alex Volkanovski heaping praise on the billionaire.
“Wow congrats đź‘Źđź‘Ź,” Moreno, the UFC flyweight champ wrote.
Volk, the UFC featherweight champ commented … “Legend! Love the shorts mate”
“When the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world gives you shorts, you wear them” … Zuckerberg responded to Alex.
Somebody call Dana White… let’s get this guy a contract!
