Referee in viral Mark Zuckerberg jiu-jitsu 'argument' video confirms what happened
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg surprised people recently after turning up at a jiu-jitsu tournament, with footage appearing to show him looking a little unhappy with the result of his bout. The Meta CEO was spotted taking on a fellow competitor in Redwood City in California on Saturday (May 6), and he was eventually pinned after a tussle in the ring. The referee stopped the fight and awarded it to his opponent after believing that Zuckerberg had 'tapped out'. However, the footage suggested Zuckerberg was unhappy with the result and it was changed to a 0-0 draw. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter He did well during the result of the tournament, with the 38-year-old winning gold and silver medals at his first public competition. Now, the referee from the event has spoken and clarified that there was no such “argument”. Referee Lucas Costa, who is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, spoke to bloodyelbow.com and explained what went down. “There was no argument,” said Costa. “It was in Gi and he got choked out. That was the video you saw. I stopped it and he wanted to check with me about why I stopped it. He didn’t know what was happening, which was one of the reasons I stopped it. But he had started to snore and the rule set says that snoring is a version of a verbal tap.” “I was paying a lot of attention,” Costa added. “I was paying even more attention because it was Mark. He got caught in an Ezekiel and I waited, but he didn’t fight back. And I was waiting, but on the third snore I had to stop the fight. He was very polite but he wanted to know how the rules work.” Speaking about the experience of meeting him, Costa said: “Mark’s fight was a surprise… I was impressed though. “He seemed like a normal guy. Looked me in the eye, gave me a firm handshake and an even bigger surprise was that he fights well.” Discussing his fighting style, Costa added: “He goes forward a lot. He attacks more. With very little defence.” Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.

Billie Eilish reacts to 'insane' crop top edit of her on fake CNN News account
The American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish has reacted to a fake viral image of her posted on a TikTok account posing as CNN where she sports a very short crop top. The 21-year-old pop star shared the image on her Instagram account on Wednesday. In her Instagram Stories, the 'What Was I Made For' singer shared an image from a TikTok account called CNN News. However, the real CNN's TikTok page is just called 'CNN' indicating that this account, which now appears to have changed its name, is either a parody or pretending to be the world-renowned news network. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The image shows Eilish on stage wearing matching off-white shorts, shirt and crop top. However, the crop top has been extensively edited, either by AI or Photoshop, to expose most of the singer's breasts. In the post, Eilish simply wrote: "This edit holy s**t. You guys. are insane" along with two skull emojis. It's not known where the original image came from or who made it but it has since resurfaced on TikTok. An account called Hunterm9.9 shared the image on July 7th and it has since received more than 1.2 million views. Many of the comments on the post noted that Eilish has shared the story on Instagram. "HELP SHE SAW THE PHOTO," wrote one person. "Here from Billie's story haha" another said. However, some were a little more critical of the sexualised image. One person added: "Ai is getting out of hand." Another noted the inaccuracies, stating: "That is not Billie. Those are not bills tattoos she has a dragon on her hip and 3 fairies on her wrist."
