A white belt enrolled as “Mark Elliot” in the Featherweight Master 1 category stole the show last week in a Silicon Valley BJJ event. When “Mr. Elliot” stepped onto the tatame for his first match, the audience found out his surname: Zuckerberg.
The creator of Facebook competed a total of three times in the event: two with gi and one without. In the no-gi competition he won his lone bout, netting the gold medal, while in the gi he won his first match before losing in the final via Ezekiel choke, earning silver.
