Podcast host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan praised “super-nerd” Mark Zuckerberg for his first-ever jiujitsu tournament this week, where he snatched silver and gold medals to the surprise of martial arts fans.

During Wednesday’s episode of Rogan’s immensely popular “Joe Rogan Experience,” he sat down with fellow stand-up comedians Kim Congdon and Sara Weinshenk for a discussion about comedy. 

At one point, Rogan tried to convince the two women to take up Muay Thai, which is when the Meta CEO came up.

“Did you see Mark Zuckerberg won a gold medal in a Brazilian jiuitsu competition?” he asked. “Mark Zuckerberg is a f–king savage.”

Footage from the weekend bout in California showed Zuckerberg getting into a heated exchange with a referee after he called the match against the 38-year-old billionaire, believing he had tapped out after spending most of the fight on his back.

The match was eventually re-cast as a 0-0 draw, which appeared to please Zuckerberg in the video, who is then seen hugging his opponent.

Zuckerberg went on to take home gold and silver medals, which he touted via an Instagram post on Sunday. 

“This dude has been training jiujitsu. This is what he did. He wore a COVID mask, and he f–king put a hat on and he hid. He used an alias,” Rogan, a martial artist himself, said Wednesday.

“Imagine you’re right about to compete in like maybe your first competition. ‘Well just give it a try. I mean, what’s the worst thing that could happen?’ Worst thing that could happen — you get strangled by a super-nerd in front of the whole world,” Rogan said with a laugh.

Zuckerberg revealed his new hobby last year, sharing a sizzle reel of his training sessions with coach Khai “The Shadow” Wu on Instagram.

Zuckerberg had participated in private training sessions with Wu and others for the past several years, he told Rogan during an appearance on his podcast last year.
