Move over “Bones,” there’s a new celebrity trainer in town.
Mark Zuckerberg trains jiu jitsu.
Not only does it help the Facebook founder focus on his Meta empire, it also leads him to victories over opponents he didn’t beat. That’s the mark of a true “savage,” according to Joe Rogan, and probably why UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett is ready to roll with the social media “lizard.”
At the behest of meddlesome UFC fans.
“He was at a UFC [event] not too long ago,” Pimblett told Happy Endings. “He’s doing jiu jitsu. Lad, the amount of times I got tagged in that video, the video where he was doing pads and then rolling with someone. I got tagged in that video about a million times, people’s stories, ‘Oh Paddy he’s coming for you.’ I would [train with him]. I called him a lizard. I got me Instagram back. If he ever wants to do some jiu jitsu he can get on me.”
No disrespect to Pimblett, but I think Zuck has that covered.
Pimblett, 29, improved to 21-3 with his unanimous decision victory over Tony Ferguson at the UFC 296 pay-per-view (PPV) event last month in Las Vegas. It should be noted the English “Baddy” has nine wins by submission, including two by way of flying triangle choke.
And one decision by way of hand sanitizer.
