Tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg posted an image of his bruised face Sunday night after what appeared to be an intense sparring session.
Zuckerberg took to Instagram to share the photograph of his battle wounds with his 12.6 million followers. He made light of his injuries by writing, “Sparring got a little out of hand. May need to update my avatar 🤣” as his caption.

The Facebook CEO had a cut on the right side of his face and visible bruising underneath each of his eyes. The photograph didn’t demonstrate full black-eyes, but the potential for the bruising to worsen was evident.
The actual injuries were not severe compared to what happens to the majority of MMA fighters after a real fight. Fans joked about Zuckerberg’s minor bruising and seized the opportunity to tell him his face would become a meme.
“Damn! Sorry, man. This picture is about to become a meme on the internet, though,” one user wrote.
“Damn you got beat the fuck up man. God damn. I still love you though,” another joked.
Many fans flooded his comments section with words of encouragement and support as they cheered him on for staying committed to his training.
