His wife, Priscilla Zuckerberg threw him a party that exclusively related to his past. Zuckerberg uploaded multiple photos of his birthday celebration and captioned it with a long message, “Grateful for my first 40 years! Priscilla threw me a little party and recreated a bunch of places I lived in the early days….” 

His birthday post caught the attention of the MMA community who came in unison to wish him a ‘Happy Birthday’, Conor McGregor was one of the first people who wished the tech mogul-“Happy Birthday bro.” His birthday wish got an unexpected response from the tech CEO, ” @thenotoriousmma Thanks!

Enjoy.” Furthermore UFC heavyweight champion, Jon Jones writes, “Happy Birthday Zuck.” 

Well, he got the love of the entire MMA world, however, his investors were not that happy about him venturing into MMA.

The time when Meta investors asked Zuckerberg to take it lightly

Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most important CEOs of the modern world and his existence matters a lot for the world. His fascination with MMA might be intriguing for him but it was a high bp task for the Meta administration to ask him to take it as a hobby and not to get seriously involved in it. The Meta administration highlighted concerns in their financial reports, stating that Mark Zuckerberg’s passion for combat sports might not be in the best interest of the organization.

In their annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Meta added that Zuckerberg should stay away from the world of Combat Sports for a while. “We currently depend on the continued services and performance of our key personnel, including Mark Zuckerberg. 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 wrote in their letter.

Despite, the company’s efforts to keep Zuckerberg away from combat sports, the tech CEO has been more drawn to it. Nonetheless, what’s your take on Mark Zuckerberg’s love for MMA? State your thoughts in the comments below.
