In a surprising turn of events, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been seen training with UFC icons Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski, fueling rumors of a potential fight with Tesla owner Elon Musk. Following Musk’s social media challenge to Zuckerberg in June, speculation arose about a clash between the billionaire titans.
Recent images suggest that Musk might have his hands full against Zuckerberg, as the Facebook CEO showcased his toned physique in a gym photo alongside Adesanya and Volkanovski. According to TMZ, Adesanya and Volkanovski traveled to Zuckerberg’s home in northern California after a UFC event in Las Vegas, joining forces with the Meta head on the mats.
Although Zuckerberg may never reach the skill level of his esteemed training partners, Adesanya was impressed by his dedication, commenting on the Instagram post, “[Trophy emojis]. No fugazi with Mark [shark emoji]. This is Serious Business.”
Zuckerberg has already demonstrated his combat abilities by winning two medals at a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament earlier this year. MMA journalist Ariel Helwani shared his belief that the highly anticipated face-off between Zuckerberg and Musk could become a reality, citing the allure of substantial financial gains and the possibility that these wealthy individuals are simply seeking amusement.
While the idea of this matchup might initially seem like a joke, it appears that Zuckerberg is taking the opportunity seriously, training alongside renowned UFC fighters. As the speculation surrounding this potential fight grows, the world watches with anticipation to see if these tech titans will step into the Octagon to settle their differences.
