Mark Zuckerberg is deeply dedicated to his mixed martial arts training. His commitment is so strong that he invited his senior executives to join him for workout sessions. This amusing revelation comes from a forthcoming book by Nick Clegg.
Meta’s former president of global affairs shares the story in his book. According to Clegg’s anecdote, Zuckerberg gathered some of Meta’s most senior executives to practice MMA with him at a management offsite. Clegg specifically recounts sparring with his deputy, Joel Kaplan.
Kaplan, who has since taken over Clegg’s role, apparently executed a mount during their session. Clegg described the experience as too close for comfort. Judging by the nature of MMA mounts, this does seem to be an intimate maneuver for a corporate setting. It makes one wonder what ever happened to good old-fashioned golfing.
