- Mark Zuckerberg posted on Instagram that he has now earned a blue-belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
- Since the COVID-19 Lockdown, Zuckerberg has trained in jiu jitsu and MMA.
- Recently, Musk and Zuckerberg have discussed the possibility of a cage-fight, but nothing has been finalized.
Mark Zuckerberg has taken a step towards mastering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. However, speculation continues about Elon Musk and a possible cage-fight.
Zuckerberg posted some photos on Instagram to celebrate his promotion to blue belt. In the photos, Zuckerberg posed with Dave Camarillo – a Brazilian jiu jitsu fifth-degree black belt who he has been training with and who also worked with Keanu Reeves from "John Wick".
"Congratulations to @davecamarillo for your 5th-degree Black Belt. "You're an amazing coach, and I have learned so much from you about life and fighting," Zuckerberg said. "I'm also honored to have been promoted to compete as a blue belt for the @guerrillajjsanjose Team."

Zuck’s Jiu-Jitsu Journey
Zuckerberg began training in jiu jitsu for the first time during COVID-19 lockdowns.
He said to podcaster Lex Fridman, that learning martial arts meant he was "beaten up quite a bit." Zuckerberg now trains in jiu jitsu and MMA between three and four times a weeks.
In September, Zuckerberg posted a video in which he exchanged punches with Khai Wu. Aljamain Sterling joked that Meta CEO could be ready for his UFC debut soon (this was before Elon Musk had challenged Zuckerberg to a fight in a cage).

Zuckerberg shared images from his first Jiu-Jitsu tournament in May. In the post, Zuckerberg said he had won silver and gold medals and thanked his instructors.
Zuckerberg enjoys other forms of exercise besides fighting. He has done surfing, CrossFit, and running. However, he said recently that he had given up running because he "could think a lot while running."
Whatever mix of exercises he has been doing, it seems to work. Zuckerberg, who is not shy to show off his progress, posted an Instagram picture of himself shirtless, next to two MMA matches, showing a lean, muscular body.

The question that looms is whether Zuckerberg, or should we call him "X", will ever fight Elon Musk, owner of Twitter.
As of now, there is no set date, but it is clear that Zuckerberg will not be letting up his training anytime soon.
