Days After Mark Zuckerberg Phone Call Shocker, Israel Adesanya Adds Fuel to Fire as UFC Champ Joins Chael Sonnen Over Wild Claims on Elon Musk Fight

Israel Adesanya, the UFC middleweight champion, has once again made waves on social media, this time by inserting himself into the Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk super fight saga. The MMA community has been buzzing with anticipation over the potential showdown between the two billionaires. And Adesanya seems to have a big role to play in it!

Ever since regaining his Middleweight title on April 9th by defeating Alex Pereira, ‘Stylebender’ has been waiting for the next challenge. And it seems like one fighter is ready to step up! 

‘Stylebender’ confirms he spoke to Mark Zuckerberg regarding the Elon Musk bout

It all started when UFC fighter Sodiq Yusuff responded to a Twitter clip of Chael Sonnen, claiming that Mark Zuckerberg personally contacted him to arrange a fight with Elon Musk at UFC 300. Yusuff tweeted, “I can confirm this. He called me too.” This tweet caught Adesanya’s attention.

In response, Adesanya took to Twitter and shared a screenshot of him messaging Mark Zuckerberg, accompanied by the popcorn emoji and a meme featuring Fry from Futurama asking the shopkeeper to “shut up and take my money.” This playful interaction solidified Adesanya’s involvement in the super fight conversation.

While fans and fighters alike are excited about the prospect of the event, there is no official confirmation on the horizon. A representative for Zuckerberg has stated that the Chael Sonnen clip is false, according to TMZ, adding a layer of uncertainty to the situation.

Israel Adesanya’s future in the UFC Middleweight division

Turning the attention to Adesanya’s recent accomplishments in the octagon, he recaptured his middleweight title in a stunning fashion, delivering one of the year’s most memorable knockouts against Alex Pereira. Currently, there don’t seem to be any challengers in the division for Adesanya, as Pereira has moved up to the light-heavyweight division.

However, there has been controversy involving contender Dricus Du Plessis. Du Plessis, hailing from South Africa, made comments claiming to be the “real African” and implying that the UFC belt has never been brought to Africa. This rubbed Adesanya the wrong way.

Adesanya, who hails from Nigeria, took offense to these remarks, considering them disrespectful. Since then, the two fighters have engaged in a war of words on various platforms. Whether they will face each other in the octagon depends on the outcome of Du Plessis’s upcoming fight against Robert Whittaker.

As the Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk super fight remains uncertain, fight fans eagerly await further developments. In the meantime, Adesanya’s involvement in the conversation adds an intriguing twist to the already captivating world of combat sports.
