Mark Zuckerberg‘s MMA interests have the stakeholders of META worried. In an annual report released by the company, Zuckerberg’s attempts to fight professionally have been cited as a risk factor that could endanger the company going forward. But how real is it all?

Perhaps his MMA skills and interests started coming to light when he and X CEO Elon Musk started beefing online. Both the billionaires agreed to have a cage match against one another, but the catch was, Musk has perhaps never professionally trained, ‘Zuck’ on the other hand is a blue belt in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. Will this cause him issues with his other professional life?

Will Mark Zuckerberg lose his long-term health?

Investors being worried about just about everything is nothing new. Whenever an investor decides to pour funds into an organization the size of Meta, their concerns feel often exaggerated. However, this time around, perhaps Zuckerberg leading a life in the discipline of MMA has been over-exaggerated.

“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,” the company’s annual report stated.

Injuries are common ground for professional MMA fighters. They go through intense camps and also put their bodies to the highest levels of exertion just so they can better themselves and secure wins. Which is essentially the biggest goal for any fighter. While Zuckerberg is not as active as say, a UFC fighter, he’s still been injured before.

Back in November, it was reported that the Meta CEO tore his ACL in sparring. So, how did fans react to the organization’s concerns in recent times?

While some fans alleged Zuckerberg tampered with elections, others had more positive thoughts for his future.

Yet others weren’t even aware of his MMA interests.

Some believed Mark Zuckerberg might want to start going to the gym, which he probably already does.

And some were still stuck on the Elon Musk fight.
