Mark Zuckerberg encouraged execs to do MMA training with him

Mark Zuckerberg's commitment to mixed martial arts (MMA) training has taken a surprising turn, as he has invited senior executives from Meta to participate in workout sessions alongside him. This intriguing detail is revealed in an upcoming book by Nick Clegg, the company's former president of global affairs. Clegg's book, which has received mixed reviews, features a number of unexpected anecdotes, including a memorable moment where Clegg sparred with his deputy, Joel Kaplan. During a management offsite, Zuckerberg gathered several of Meta's top executives for an MMA practice session, fostering a unique team-building experience. Kaplan, who succeeded Clegg earlier this year, reportedly executed a mount that Clegg humorously described as "too close for comfort," highlighting the unusual nature of the encounter. This unusual approach to executive bonding raises questions about the evolving culture within Meta. One can't help but wonder: has the corporate world moved on from traditional pastimes like golf to embrace the intensity of MMA training?
