Think twice before you criticize Mark Zuckerberg on the internet. The Meta CEO can fight now! Recently, Zuckerberg left the world surprised after participating in his first-ever Jiu-Jitsu tournament. Winning gold and silver medals in GI and no Gi Jiu-Jitsu at Woodside High School in Woodside, the billionaire CEO left many in disbelief. It’s been over a month since the competition, yet fans are still buzzing about this unexpected feat.

Recently, Zuckerberg made an appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast for the second time. In the two-hour-long podcast, the two personalities talked about everything from Meta and AI to Zuckerberg’s passion for Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. Interestingly, one specific conversation between Fridman and Zuckerberg ignited some wild reactions from many listeners!

Mark Zuckerberg described as Khabib Nurmagomedov

When the two were talking about the American business magnate’s fighting style, Zuckerberg sounded very confident in his abilities. According to him, he is a pressure player and can defeat a top-ranked opponent. “I like Jiu-Jitsu. I also really like MMA. And, I think my style, I’m probably more pressure, and I’d probably rather beat the top player,” said Zuckerberg.

Moreover, Fridman made a bold comparison between Zuckerberg and Khabib Nurmagomedov! “You are basically like the Khabib Nurmagomedov type of fighter.” Upon being asked about his favorite submission, the 39-year-old named a solid variation for the rear naked choke.

“Back take to a rear naked choke. I think it’s like the clean way to go,” Zuckerberg said. This podcast was released just days after Meta’s denial statement in response to the Jiu-Jitsu competition’s referee, who publicly stated that Zuckerberg had passed out in one of his BJJ fights.

Fans react to Mark Zuckerberg’s confidence

Zuckerberg‘s bold statements didn’t go unnoticed by fans who wasted no time in expressing their opinions. Some fans couldn’t help but poke fun at his comparison to the undefeated MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, scoffing at the notion.

Others playfully questioned his self-proclaimed fighting style, highlighting their expertise despite lacking formal training.

• “He’s the reason why khabib retired”
• “The Zuck is in NO way, a khabib nurmagomedov type of fighter”
• “My style??? I’m not trained in anything and I KNOW I’m f*cking him up”
• “He thinks he’s khabib”

• “A majority of the population could beat this guy in a fight and don’t tell me his bjj record when he went to that one tourney he’s the richest guy in the world there’s no way he didn’t pay someone for that tourney”
• “That was the lamest way to describe ur skill”
• “F*cker does not understand mma bud said khabib”
• “After all the geeks get ruch (rich); they think they can achieve anything.”

Thus, the comparison did not sit well with many fans. Khabib Nurmagomedov’s fans know the Russian for being undefeated and humble and because many felt Zuckerberg was being boastful, social media users were not happy.
