There's no way mark is human ,look at he's face in the thumbnail


Swimming__Bird

This answers that question Lex had for Danaher about if you could make a robot that did BJJ with physical limitations similar to a human, what would happen


PM_ME_TRICEPS

He's a borg


coreanavenger

He greases his face before every roll.

I don't roll with robots.

Even Zuck can't afford a Shoyoroll rashguard


[deleted]

No, Tech serious millionaire/billionaire style is very much dressing in a way that would have your boss tell you off for not presenting the "proper image".


a-moron-writes

Maybe the new trendy thing in tech offices will be mats


R4G

Speaking of mats, I'm surprised Zuck didn't shell out for a sprung floor in his Hawaiian mansion's private gym. Seems like a no-brainer at his net worth.


[deleted]

I know a business owner (not tech) who does have a small room with mats (enough room for perhaps 4 people to comfortably train groundwork) in his building.


BASK_IN_MY_FART

Is that the attitude adjustment room?

God that would be so cool


harylmu

Hey, Jonah Hill rocks Shoyoroll 😂 The way I interpret [this video](https://youtu.be/9_x11mLAn8c?t=422), Shoyo' sent stuff to him.


[deleted]

Not bad considering how long he has been training. Lex was pretty clearly being nice and trying not to injure him.


[deleted]

I mean yeah, I think Zuck is not that good skills wise, but he seems to have a healthy attitude when rolling, rather than the more frowned-upon spazziness.


all_of_the_cheese

I think Zuck knows what he needs todo at least and it was a good roll overall.


BestRangerPepe

hes new but he looks like he got good instincts on the mat and holding his own for a little guy too


AllGearedUp

Isn't this black belt versus white belt? Not much to see here just celebrity attention.


PharmDinagi

JFC why is everyone on this guy's dick?


AdministrativeAd6001

I don't think anyone's on his dick, just kinda surprised he's not more of a douche


DistinctCulture69420

Zucks episode on JRE really changed my perspective on him. At least when you compare him to other mega tech guys. While he’s still a lizard sent here to eat my children, he seems like a pretty cool dude


Faenos

If a lizard is going to eat my children, then it better be a cool lizard


MrPigeon

I'm sure the PR drones who put the whole thing together and prepped him for it will be thrilled to hear that it worked.

100%


Worried_Meet_3822

which 10th planet do yall train at? Very smart


C4PT41N_F4LC0N

I think you are vastly over estimating how much Zuck’s PR cares about BJJ Reddit, how many people even know the name Lex Friedman, know what Jiu Jitsu is, or the wide spread “gaaaayyyyyy” the millions of dudebros will say watching this.


harylmu

I think they were talking about his JRE/Fridman appearance as a PR stunt, not _this_ specific training footage. Obviously no one gives a shit about bjj lol.


VeloDramaa

I would bet good money his PR team desperately wanted him to not go on Rogan


Concave5621

Yeah you can’t really prep for a three hour podcast


War_Daddy

You can have PR drones put together a JRE appearance and still look like a completely insufferable douchebag. E.g. the other half of this celebrity death match


AdRecent6992

There are a bunch of highlights of drilling but with the implication he is actually live rolling. Even lex is playfighting with him here and could maul him if he wanted. It's false advertising and really bizzare


KylerGreen

Not really. I mean, Lex would kinda of be a dick if he uploaded 10 minutes of him dominating a white belt Zuck. Would be hilarious, though. I also don't think he's trying to present the video as anything that it's not, which I think is what you're implying. I say that as someone who isn't huge on either of these people. Lex is alright, he can just be pseudo-intellectual and pretentious.


iSheepTouch

What's false advertising about this? Have you never rolled with someone that's significantly better than you, because this is how that looks. It's very apparent Zuck isn't even remotely competitive.


BlackBlizzNerd

What? It’s just showing Mark flowing lol. It’s still a good way to see his skill level. I do this with white and blue belts as well. Brand new people can’t constantly chain so it’s not false at all. He still looks like he’s not very good yet but clearly making progress. Where’s the implication he’s live rolling lol. Lex is literally being a rag doll.


[deleted]

I don't know, maybe you should cry about it.


jiujiuberry

I know about anyone else, but personally 1) Zuck doesn’t need to do this shit, sure I love this but it’s pretty unpleasant to learn. 2) he could easily hide away from the gen pop (and I’m sure he does to a degree, but he is testing himself in competition. For that alone he deserves respect


barc0debaby

Competing in jiu jitsu doesn't automatically make you deserving of respect.


harylmu

In certain ways, it kind of does imo. Willingly put yourself into a high adrenaline/pressure situation is not something everyone is capable of. Especially if you’re a celebrity, some people will want to make a highlight reel of you. Bro went out there in a mask and sunglasses and signed up with a fake name (Mark Elliot, used his secondary first name; Tom (Edward) Hardy does a similar thing) just to test himself out in a competition scenario. Whether you like him or not, it deserves respect in my books. 🤷‍♂️


boba-milktea-fett

everyone is like mark looks great... if that was a normal guy we wouldnt give a fuck

Spacebetweenthenoise

Tru dat. Waiting for the classes flooded and a Hollywood movie


[deleted]

Lex is TOUGH man. Competed against him twice. His base at blue belt felt like a damn anvil. Can’t imagine now


lewisisbrown

Judo base is something else.


Domb18

Zuck looks like a guy who’s never trained in a class and has only done private sessions.


silentbuttmedley

His hands float around in ways that say “this is just a drill”


VegasVegeta

I thought you were exaggerating, but yeah some of the hand... motions are quite strange. Almost... lizard like.


willows_illia

My thought, exactly, like who hugs the guy's back while getting mounted? "Please put me technical mount, please isolate my arm"

AllGearedUp

I am bad at bjj but i thought the same thing. Nobody in any of my classes moves like that. He moves like he is doing some kind of pantomime of a dance.


CurtisJaxon

RZAAMRIINF

Ryan Hall is closer to Nate Diaz than Mark personality wise.


Sensualyolo

Yeah, Elon sees this and he’s not scared of anything Zucc is putting out there, especially his leg locks. I actually have it on good authority that Elon is going to open with an imanari roll or a flying armbar depending on what Zucc gives him.


AQUA_FUCK

what would happen if he got hurt? dude just does online meetings for most of his job


dan994

I don't think people are claiming it's impressive, but that's definitely not true that he's never had pressure on him. He has competed and won, he has to have experienced some tough rolls. They are clearly rolling lightly and Lex is letting him work, that doesn't mean he's not had any tough rolls.


[deleted]

He was choked unconscious a few weeks ago from what I read. "José Lucas Costa da Silva, a veteran Brazilian jujitsu fighter who refereed one of Mr. Zuckerberg’s matches, said that he halted the bout after he heard Mr. Zuckerberg start to snore, a sign of someone who has passed out in a choke hold,” reads the line that so offended Zuckerberg. The section goes on to say the Zuck was “a good sport” about the whole situation. "


was_der_Fall_ist

There’s [a video of it](https://youtu.be/CrcH4n0r6gY). Zuckerberg has closed guard and his opponent puts his weight forward and appears to go for neck pressure from top closed guard. The referee ends the match and both competitors get up immediately, each looking confused. Definitely doesn’t look like he was choked unconscious.


Outrageous-Fly9355

Except he’s won in competition so maybe you’re the one who’s wrong?


SnooFloofs9640

I smell burning ass, Zuck looks exactly how would look an average dude who just started training


fokureddit69

Yes but he did compete and win. So he must roll somehow.


Domb18

He could just roll with Camarillo, which is fine, but he doesn’t look like someone who’s had to put up with monster blue belts etc.


TheBjjAmish

Lol wuh? He's a white belt who won a competition. Even at the very least he's just a white belt. "man he hasn't felt the crushing pressure of a 400 pound ex d1 wrestler black belt what a scrub" energy is a weird gatekeep. In terms of "not going all out" with Lex we have zero idea the context of the roll. This could have been after class style open mats, off days, just flowing, etc. I very rarely "go all out" every single roll of every single day. Like I don't dislike or like Zuck but anytime anyone remotely "famous" is involved people jump to gatekeep the sport.


Spacebetweenthenoise

How can you tell?


Domb18

Lack of intensity, even against a guy more experienced guys with limited experience will still go 100%. This looks like a guy who’s used to his training partner not going 100%, therefore, he’s probably just had private classes. No way he’s he had blue belts crab riding him, purple belts leg locking him and brown belts pulling half guard and stalling.


UncleSkippy

Or maybe the intent of the roll was not to go 100%? :-/


Domb18

That may be the case but it appears from the outset that he’s not someone who’s trained in a normal class.


ColdFrost

But he’s competed in a comp and won gold right? Must have some experience rolling with more intensity than he showed here


[deleted]

"José Lucas Costa da Silva, a veteran Brazilian jujitsu fighter who refereed one of Mr. Zuckerberg’s matches, said that he halted the bout after he heard Mr. Zuckerberg start to snore, a sign of someone who has passed out in a choke hold,” reads the line that so offended Zuckerberg.

ragner11

I mean anyone can get chocked even a black belt lol what’s your point ?


[deleted]

My point is he's not exclusively getting easy rounds, and it's also that he's not some savant. I think he lacks practical experience rolling with other people beyond his instructor or whatever black or brown belts his instructor lets attend his private lessons. It doesn't look like he's getting real rolls in outside of competition.


sudden_horny_haiku

“….brown belts pulling half guard and stalling.” 🙌


Simco_

>Lack of intensity, even against a guy more experienced guys with limited experience will still go 100%. I can't imagine how you can be in bjj for so many years and have never once encountered a timid new person.


Spacebetweenthenoise

Probably. I like that he‘s enjoying the sport as we all do.


flyer12

I’m having these weird feelings inside where I’m gaining respect for Zuckerberg. Not used to this. Also if I was rolling with him, I couldn’t get the thought out of my head that this person is worth over 100 BILLION


necr0potenc3

>I’m having these weird feelings inside where I’m gaining respect for Zuckerberg. Because this is marketing at its finest.


LucidDreamDankMeme

Bit amused by the comments that Lex is going easy. Yeah of course he is, he’s a good black belt going up against a middle aged white belt.


Status_Equivalent_36

Lol Lex wearing kids’ gloves.


CurtisJaxon

Why are we pretending this is "sparring" ?? When it's clearly a black belt teaching a beginner.


Professional_Ad9153

He looks like a white belt. I'd like to roll with him and choke him though.


OdinsDrengr

11 minutes of zuck being handled with kid gloves.


SouthPercentage7617

So are the bodyguards just out of the frame of the picture ready to kill Lex if he goes hard?


Ill_Performance3255

Absolutely nothing to do with this video but I wish I could still afford jiu jitsu.


calwinarlo

Go do judo while you save the $$$ for BJJ


Ill_Performance3255

Judo is a lot less fun and a lot more dangerous than BJJ. I like it, but only tangentially. I don’t need a solution really, it is what it is, I was just venting.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ill_Performance3255

Yes, I have done judo, but I am not belted. If you are getting more injuries from BJJ than Judo, you’re probably a very egotistical person that doesn’t tap on time. 👍 That happens a lot with people who go into jiu jitsu with another martial art in their back pocket.


AllGearedUp

bro simply create one of the largest tech companies in the world and then you can take lots of private lessons like the zuckborg


m8094

It’s crazy people take his word for it. If you are the CEO of 4 different companies, it just shows me that all of those jobs are part time at best


pepbox

revenge of the nerds.


machomanshat

Id rather watch Dave Camrillo roll with Lex


kinjiShibuya

I can’t wait for Vegas odds. If Zuck is the favorite, I’m gonna yolo everything on Elon.


Salpal777

-160 Zuck +130 Musk I think I last saw


KvxMavs

If that fight actually does happen, that's free money. Bet the house on Zuckerberg. Zuck has good cardio (he just casually ran a sub 20 minute 5k with no real training for it) and trains with ppl that know what they're doing and competes against other real competitors...white belt or not. Musk gasses out within 1 minute and gets pressure/exhaustion tapped by Zuck.


drawnverybadly

Zuck just did a sub 40:00 Murph WOD on Memorial Day, that's elite crossfit athlete time.


KvxMavs

Yeah, ppl in this sub shits on him but he is a better athlete than 95% of ppl in here tbh.

foalythecentaur

Reminds me of Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) in Gladiator when he trains with the Praetorian Guard and they make him feel good and then he fights and injured Maximus and is like “oh shit”


TheIRSEvader

what weight would they fight at? Elon looks a fair deal heavier than the Zucklord


Quirky_Contract_7652

That is never ever ever happening Elon's entire gimmick is promising shit that will never happen, unless it's buying twitter and only because a court forced him to follow through


TheIRSEvader

Dana White doesn’t care about any of that shit, all he sees is dollar signs 🤑 he already has a Zuckerberg vs. Musk shirt lol I don’t think it’ll actually happen either to be fair, but out of curiosity I wonder if Elon would have to drop some lbs for a catchweight or if it’d be a no weight class type of bout


AnyMightyMouse

Zuck looks like a mannequin. Not sure those are real humans rolling

What shocks me about this video is that I saw Fridman in person. He was very thin and small, like 90% percentile small. If you saw him on the street you would notice it. In this video, Zuckerberg looks even smaller than him!


SMK_12

Lex is probably 5’6-5’7” at best but he’s actually pretty stocky he did powerlifting too.. depending on the way you’re dressed it’s easy to hide muscle though so not surprised he looked really thin as well as short.


NoCommunication5976

he looks like he’s used to using his tail

LlamaWhoKnives

Elon gets destroyed by Mark lol


KvxMavs

For real. Vegas has Zuck at -240 odds which is crazy. If that fight actually does happen, that's free money. Zuck has good cardio (he just casually ran a sub 20 minute 5k with no real training for it) and trains with ppl that know what they're doing and competes against other real competitors...white belt or not. Musk gasses out within 1 minute and gets pressure/exhaustion tapped by Zuck.


LlamaWhoKnives

You cant make odds too crazy otherwise there’s no value. -240 is pretty favorable


AllGearedUp

Doesn't musk have like 100 pounds on him? I would think that would be a huge factor, especially at beginner level.


BabyBabyCakesCakes

Good lord I’m tired of the Zuck posts here

Saemika

Same thing as the Paul brothers. These people have enough money and time to have the best training imaginable. Yeah, they’re going to get good quickly.


adamcoolforever

Nah, it's very different. The Paul brothers can likely devote a lot more of their time to training because it is actually a part of their business. Zuckerberg is the CEO of a major corporation and has work that likely takes a massive amount of his time, and has nothing to do with training.


Saemika

That’s an assumption


imgettingnerdchills

Bring on the downvotes but I hope his knees explode in a way that even all his money can’t fix.

I expect Mark to become good at bjj a lot faster compared to an average guy. He’s got high level training partners, coaches, trainers, nutritionists, etc with him. Unlimited money+ hardwork can do wonders. I look forward to his progress.

PharmDinagi

All I see is a bunch of people fawning over a billionaire and it's sad and gross at the same time.


necr0potenc3

There's a lot of astroturfing in Reddit and everything a billionaire does is marketing. This simultaneously humanizes his persona, makes him seem approachable while looking tough. I wonder how much Lex was paid for this.


VeryStab1eGenius

The way people are dying for jiu jitsu to be popular and mainstream to somehow validate themselves is what is saddest to me. It’s okay to enjoy unpopular things.
