Meta has warned investors that Mark Zuckerberg’s martial arts hobby carries the risk of serious injury or death.
The social media giant said that its founder’s fondness for competitive fighting, which saw him undergo surgery for a torn ligament last year, could affect the company if he was sidelined.
In an unusual disclosure to investors, Meta said: “Mr Zuckerberg and certain 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.
“If Mr Zuckerberg were to become unavailable for any reason, there could be a material adverse impact on our operations.”
The Meta chief has become increasingly obsessed with mixed martial arts, building an “octagon” in his garden and training with former professionals.
Last year, he discussed setting up a “cage match” with Elon Musk, although talks over the fight went nowhere.

It’s too bad that they told him.
Meta is big enough it could carry on without “them”.
Trumps or someone else?
Zuckerberg is a pussy.
No disclosures about taking drugs?
If the MMA guys training with Zuckerberg were smart, they’d narrowly lose all matches with him.
And that wouldn’t make for very good training, would it?
So what’s the down side?

I rolled with a silver medalist from the Heavyweight Division of the Pan Am Games.
Him going at 15% is beyond adequate for training me or most.
Wimpy boy decides he can’t do this after all
From the video I saw he’d be hard pressed to break a nail......looked like 2 dudes engaging in foreplay to me
In my younger days I trained with a Taekwondo guy. Well, one day he missed a block and I inadvertently rang his bell pretty good. That was the end of the training. He called it off. No hard feelings, but he called it off. Pity, because I thought it was useful for the both of us.
As I said, that was in my younger days. Now I’m more like the guy from ‘King of Queens’.
Discussing a possible fight: “After the first minute I’ll have to fight sitting down.”

Kevin James is a big MMA fan.
He moves quite well for a fat dude.
He had some really funny videos he did during the idiotic covid lockdowns- he produced them himself- and posted to youtube- he’s a pretty talented person
I would guess he is somewhat conservative. He’s buddies with Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, et al.
He understands the formula in storytelling to make you root for him.
I saw one stand up, and he was funny.
Put him in a cage match with a big Polynesian guy who was thrown off his ancestral land on Kauai.
That I would pay to see.
LOL keeper
Wasn’t this a storyline on an episode of “Friends?” Didn’t turn out so well, I recall.
