Mark Zuckerberg loves MMA so much that he’s rented out<\/a> entire arenas, sparred on a barge<\/a>, had major surgery<\/a> to fix a fighting injury, won medals<\/a>, and built a “backyard” octagon at his Ko’olau Ranch compound in Hawaii. And according to a new book<\/a> by the former president of global affairs at Meta, Zuckerberg even asked some company leaders to get on the mat.<\/p>\n “Mark’s commitment to MMA is so strong that he insisted one morning, during a management offsite, that some of his most senior executives join him for a training session,” wrote Nick Clegg in his soon-to-be-released book, How to Save the Internet<\/i> (Penguin; November 11, 2025).<\/p>\n Related:<\/b> Mark Zuckerberg’s Daily Routine: The Schedule of the Meta CEO Who Wears the Same Thing Every Day and Trains with MMA Fighters<\/a><\/p>\n\n Fast Company<\/i> reports<\/a> that, in the book, Clegg details one particularly uncomfortable-sounding scene, when he is being straddled on the mat by a colleague in a “Domination Mount<\/a>” maneuver.<\/p>\n Clegg wrote it was “too close for comfort,” the outlet notes.<\/p>\n Meta investors have been warned in official filings<\/a> that Zuckerberg and other members of management participate “in various high-risk activities, such as combat sports, extreme sports, and recreational aviation, which carry the risk of serious injury and death.”<\/p>\n The book also looks at the future of AI and how social media has changed the world, but as Semafor<\/i> reports<\/a>, if you’re looking for a tell-all about the inner workings of Meta, this is not it.<\/p>\n Related: <\/b>‘I Love This Sport’: Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Enters Into ‘Massive Partnership’ With UFC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mark Zuckerberg loves MMA so much that he’s rented out<\/a> entire arenas, sparred on a barge<\/a>, had major surgery<\/a> to fix a fighting injury, won medals<\/a>, and built a “backyard” octagon at his Ko’olau Ranch compound in Hawaii.
