Meta issues a statement regarding Mark Zuckerberg

Meta recently released a 10-K annual report, where they mentioned some severe consequences for Mark Zuckerberg’s venture into combat sports. The company stated that there are several risks involved with ‘Zuck’s combat sports endeavor as it could result in serious injuries or even death. The company’s concern arose after Mark Zuckerberg shared an image of him in a hospital bed with a serious injury.

“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 report stated.

Alexander Volkanovski opens up on dealing with his mental health issues

The undisputed featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski recently had a conversation with Israel Adesanya in a video on YouTube. There, he revealed that he developed an alcohol addiction after his fight against Yair Rodriguez at UFC 290. Volkanovski even went on to claim that he was not ready to fight Islam Makhachev at UFC 294, where he suffered one of the biggest losses of his career.

“Just a little, little pressure that a lot, that everyone goes through, and a little uneasy. The drinking was helping, and I just wasn’t happy where I was. I was, again, like you said, self-aware. I’m someone who’s very self-aware, and I’m always good like that,” stated ‘Volk’. The featherweight champion also mentioned that the loss against Makhachev helped him get back to his old self, as he was disappointed with the type of person he had become heading into UFC 294.

Sharaputdin Magomedov wants to fight Marvin Vettori

‘Bullet’ recently made a triumphant debut with a unanimous win over Bruno Silva at UFC 294. But now, he already has his sights on another opponent. Sharaputdin Magomedov recently called out Marvin Vettori, who was the ideal opponent of choice for him for his UFC debut. He opened up about it during an interview. Meanwhile, a video clip from that interview was shared by ‘Red Corner MMA‘ on social media.

“[I want a fight] against Vettori. Him being ranked top 5 says absolutely nothing to me. When [I] start beating him up, my knuckles, my elbows, and my knees won’t care what he’s ranked,” said Sharaputdin Magomedov. It remains to be seen if Dana White would make this fight happen as ‘Bullet’ looks confident about defeating Marvin Vettori should they ever square off.
