Reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion ‘Darth Rigatoni’ Mikey Musumeci and Facebook/Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have become really close friends over the past year, and the two ‘nerds’ are spending a lot of time together.
Whether that’s devouring boxes of Musumeci’s favorite pizzas, or rolling on the mats working on their jiu-jitsu skills, Musumeci and Zuckerberg are like two peas in a pod.
In a recent Instagram posted on Zuckerberg’s official account, the two can be seen working out together, where Musumeci is teaching the tech mogul his best techniques. They even spent some time trading strikes toward the end.
