Mark Zuckerberg tore one of his anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) while training for the match.
The mixed martial arts (MMA) enthusiast posted a photo on Instagram of himself in a hospital bed with his left leg raised high and heavily bandaged.
According to the NHS, the ACL is a ligament on the inside of the knee that “gives stability to the knee joint.”
“I tore my anterior cruciate ligament while sparring and just had surgery to replace it,” said the Facebook co-founder, 39.
“I was training for a mixed martial arts fight early next year, but it got delayed a little bit.
“I am grateful to the doctors and team who treated me.”
Zuckerberg said he was “still looking forward” to competing in MMA “after he recovers”, adding: “Thank you to everyone for your love and support.”
In May, he completed his first Jiu-Jitsu tournament.
A few weeks ago, he shared a close-up photo of his face with bruises on the bridge of his nose and under his eyes.
The sparring “got a little out of hand,” he said.
