Apparently, the referee thought that the Meta CEO tapped out. He stops the match and raises Zuckerberg’s opponent’s arm in victory.

The entrepreneur is seen arguing with the referee throughout and talking to his opponent after, which – as reported by Sportskeeda – in the end resulted with the referee overturning the call and the bout being declared a draw.

Mark was courteous, polite and we managed to convey a positive image of Jiu-Jitsu.
He loved the experience of feeling the energy of the first competition.
