Mark Zuckerberg Takes Corporate Fitness to the Next Level with Mixed Martial Arts Sessions

Mark Zuckerberg’s dedication to mixed martial arts (MMA) is evident, as he extended invitations to senior executives for workout sessions. This intriguing detail emerges from Nick Clegg’s forthcoming book. The former president of global affairs at Meta narrates this account, which Fast Company characterizes as a book with “thin prose,” yet enriched by some “surprising anecdotes.”

One such anecdote involves Clegg recounting his sparring session with deputy Joel Kaplan during an MMA practice at a corporate retreat. According to Clegg’s narrative, Zuckerberg assembled several top-tier executives for the training session. It appears that Kaplan, who recently assumed Clegg’s role following his resignation earlier this year, executed a mount on Clegg described as uncomfortably close for a corporate setting.

Upon investigating MMA mounts briefly, such an intimate maneuver does seem uncommon in a professional setting.

One wonders about the return of traditional golfing exercises in corporate environments.
