Mark Zuckerberg revealed he tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) while preparing for an upcoming MMA fight—and the Meta founder took to Instagram to share photos post-surgery.
The photos show the Facebook co-founder in good spirits while still in his hospital bed, with a few showing his wife Priscilla Chan tending to him.
He captioned the post:
"Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it."
"Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me."
He continued, noting that the injury he incurred during training will set his fight back, but that he is greatly anticipating it nonetheless.
"I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that's delayed a bit. Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support."
Viewers of the post wished Zuckerberg a speedy recovery.

Of course, the news of Zuckerberg's injury has greatly riled Elon Musk supporters wishing to see the two in a cage fight, especially since just a week ago Musk claimed on The Joe Rogan Experience that the Meta CEO "chickened out."
While it's true Zuckerberg backed out of a potential fight, it wasn't for lack of preparation or planning...It just wasn't worth his time.
He shared on his own X rival Threads:
"I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on."
“I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity."
"Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead.”
Welp, looks like that window has officially closed.
Get well soon, Zuck!
