Fight fans have been waiting in anticipation ever since tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg seemingly agreed to a cage fight during one of their online tirades.

Adding to his already impressive credentials, earlier today, Zuckerberg shocked his fans when he revealed that he had officially been promoted to a blue belt in jiu-jitsu.

Mark Zuckerberg BJJ: When the Meta CEO entered a jiu-jitsu tournament incognito
In a recent appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg shared his experience participating in his first-ever jiu-jitsu tournament.
Per the tech billionaire, it was a fun experience, and for him, a tactical sport like jiu-jitsu is instrumental to his mental health. Interestingly, when he signed up for the event, he did so using his first and middle name, trying to make it as low-key as possible:
"To compete, I needed to get around the fact that I didn't want it to be like this big thing. So basically, I just rolled up with a hat and sunglasses, and I was wearing a covid mask, and I registered under my first and middle name. So Mark Elliot. And it wasn't until I actually pulled all that stuff off, right before I got on the mat, that people knew it was me."
