META Is Concerned With Mark Zuckerberg's Infatuation With MMA, Thinks It Increases His Risk Of Dying
In 2022, a very unexpected storyline emerged: Mark Zuckerberg started to train MMA. The meat-smoking robot himself turned out to be not bad either.
Into 2023 he continued to train and teased a fight in the Coliseum with Musk:
However, in early November, Zuckerberg tore his ACL during sparring:

Now, META is expressing some concern surrounding Zuck's commitment to MMA:
I'm all for MMA Zuck, but from an investment perspective, I understand the concern from META. Let's say that Zuck were to disappear tomorrow, META would definitely lose a lot of their market value.
So, let's do a thought exercise: what are the chances that we lose Zuck? There's always the chance of a random death, but that's probably the same for every person (lower for Zuck considering he has security guards and lives in a high-end neighborhood, plus he doesn't drive as much as the common person). Outside of that, you'd have to look at comorbidities/lifestyle habits (drinking, smoking, fitness levels). Zuck seems to be as strong as an ox and he focuses a lot on his health, which is good. At this point, if META were to look at this from a risk management aspect, the founder of Facebook is a LOW risk……until we get to MMA. That is where all of Zuck's risk lies. Could he die in training? There's always a chance when people are throwing punches, kicks, and chokes. However, I'd still put it at an incredibly low chance (under .0001%). People don't just die sparring in an MMA gym or rolling JiuJitsu, specifically the ones that Zuck would be frequenting. Sure, you could argue potential brain damage and whatnot, but I'd say the love of rock climbing or even mountain climbing is more dangerous.
LET ZUCK FIGHT!
