During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience last August, Zuckerberg said he got into mixed martial arts training during the COVID-19 pandemic and quickly fell in love. He shared video of his training last fall and got compliments from multiple fighters:

"From the very first session that I did, like five minutes in, I was like, 'Where has this been my whole life?'" Zuckerberg said. "Alright, my mom made me do three varsity sports and my life took a wrong turn when I chose to do fencing competitively instead of wrestling in high school or something."
After his success over the weekend, there's a chance it won't be the last time Zuckerberg tries his hand at a competition.
