As you may know, Elon Musk challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight (similar to a typical UFC ring) in a Twitter thread, and the challenge escalated quickly. Now, the CEO of Meta has accepted, and it seems like the fight is imminent.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been photographed training with a renowned Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt who is known for training celebrities. This social media post serves one purpose: to intimidate Mark and make it clear that he is seriously training.
Despite public backlash, Musk has started preparing for his MMA cage fight against media mogul and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, engaging in a training session with black belt podcaster Lex Fridman.
Elon Musk is already preparing for combat
Fridman, who has also trained with Zuckerberg, stated that he was “very impressed” with Musk’s skill but would prefer that the pair not end up exchanging blows.
“Yesterday, I had an impromptu training session with @elonmusk for a few hours. I’m very impressed with his strength, power, and ability, both on the ground and on his feet,” Fridman posted alongside photos of the pair grappling.
“It was epic. It’s truly inspiring to see Elon and Mark practicing martial arts, but I believe the world would benefit much more if they trained martial arts without stepping into the cage,” I have concluded.
The biggest fight in history?
UFC President Dana White has jumped on board and believes it could be the most lucrative fight of all time, although there are no firm plans on when and where it could take place.
“I’ve talked to Mark and Elon… both of them are taking it very seriously,” White told TMZ last week, before stating that it could be the most-watched fight in history.
White suggested that the fight could take place in Las Vegas and the pay-per-view price would be $100, $20 more than the usual cost for UFC events.
