Mark Zuckerberg loves MMA so much that he’s rented out entire arenas, sparred on a barge, had major surgery to fix a fighting injury, won medals, and built a “backyard” octagon at his Ko’olau Ranch compound in Hawaii. And according to a new book 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

Fast Company<\/i> reports 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” maneuver.<\/p>\n

Clegg wrote it was “too close for comfort,” the outlet notes.<\/p>\n

Meta investors have been warned in official filings 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, if you’re looking for a tell-all about the inner workings of Meta, this is not it.<\/p>\n
