Elon Musk’s MMA Training Photos Are Released
Elon Musk is serious about taking on Mark Zuckerberg in a cage fight following the release of some photos showing the SPACEX founder grappling.
Talks over a mega fight first emerged in response to reports that Zuckerberg was considering setting up a rival to Twitter, with Musk stating that he would consider a cage fight.
And as Zuckerberg demanded to know the location, Musk replied with Vegas, as the feud heated up.
While there were doubts that the exchange was just for entertainment, Dana White confirmed that he had spoken to both men, who were serious about a bout.
“They both said, ‘yeah we’ll do it.’ They both want to do it. Mark Zuckerberg hit me up first and said, ‘is he serious?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, let me ask him’ and I asked him, and he said ‘yeah, I’m dead serious.’
“This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world. Bigger than anything that has ever been done. It would break all pay-per-view records, these guys would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity.
“You don’t have to be a fight fan to be interested in this fight. Everybody would want to see it,” White
Since then Jon Jones has offered to train Zuckerberg, while St George Pierre has offered to do the same for Musk.
You already know I am Team Zuck…. Let me know if you need a training partner!

With that being said, Musk has already begun his training with the scientist Lex Fridman.
I did an impromptu training session with @elonmusk for a few hours yesterday. I'm extremely impressed with his strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground. It was epic. It's really inspiring to see Elon and Mark doing martial arts, but I think the world is served… pic.twitter.com/cq00A9Xnmw
