Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently become the center of attention on social media after he posted a selfie on Instagram sporting two black eyes.
The eye-catching image, which he attributed to an intense jiu-jitsu training session, quickly went viral, drawing humor and curiosity from netizens around the world.
In his Instagram post shared on October 2, Zuckerberg humorously captioned the picture, "Sparring got a little out of hand. May need to update my avatar."

This candid glimpse into the Meta CEO's life showcases his commitment to physical fitness and martial arts, which he adopted during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Zuckerberg's fascination with martial arts is not new. In a podcast interview with Joe Rogan last year, he expressed his passion for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and how it complements his demanding work schedule.
"MMA is the perfect thing. After an hour or two of working out, or rolling or wrestling with friends, or training with different folks, it's like now I'm ready to go solve whatever problem at work for the day," Zuckerberg told Rogan.
However, what truly stole the spotlight in this viral post was the comments section. Netizens flooded the post with witty remarks and creative predictions. Some users speculated that the image could soon become a popular internet meme template.
"This picture is about to become a meme on the internet, though," one user commented. Others couldn't resist making playful references to popular culture, with one comment suggesting, "Facebook After Hours Fight Club."
The viral selfie serves as a reminder that even tech titans like Zuckerberg are not immune to the playful banter of social media.
It also underscores the power of social platforms to connect individuals and share moments of humor and levity, even within the high-stakes world of tech entrepreneurship.
