The Meta owner confirmed the news to his 12.6 million followers on Instagram and has announced that the serious injury required surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg posted the update accompanied by several images of himself in a hospital bed. The billionaire shared pictures of himself with a cast on his left leg and being tended to by his wife of 11 years, Priscilla Chan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tore my ACL sparring and just got out of surgery to replace it,&#8221; Zuckerberg said in a post via his Instagram account. &#8220;Grateful for the doctors and team taking care of me. I was training for a competitive MMA fight early next year, but now that&#8217;s delayed a bit. Still looking forward to doing it after I recover. Thanks to everyone for the love and support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The post was met with an overwhelmingly supportive response, including a comment from UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones who said: \u201cWe got this.&#8221; Australian Strawweight MMA fighter also reacted, adding: &#8220;Heal up and speedy recovery.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> <svg width=\"50px\" height=\"50px\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\"><g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><g transform=\"translate(-511.000000, -20.000000)\" fill=\"#000000\"><g><\/path><\/g><\/g><\/g><\/svg>View this post on Instagram<\/p>\n<p>A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Zuckerberg has been no stranger to martial arts in recent years and has frequently posted images of himself taking part in Brazilian jiujitsu training.

But I said from the first time I met him what a bit of an athlete he is, people just don&#8217;t get to see that side of him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you can see from that photo, I think that&#8217;s what raised a lot of eyebrows, he&#8217;s in shape. I mean you can see it that he&#8217;s in shape but he really is in shape. It&#8217;s not just looks, he really is, he trains, he&#8217;s pretty athletic, he&#8217;s coordinated and he&#8217;s committed&#8230; He loves it, he&#8217;s got a passion for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/ufc\/1831603\/Mark-Zuckerberg-surgery-cancel-MMA-fight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that he has torn his\u00a0anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) following a sparring session in preparation for a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
