- The famed former UFC Middleweight, Uriah Hall, came up with a deal for Twitter CEO Musk in return for teaching him one of his deadly moves.

- The noted UFC play-by-play commentator Jon Anik expressed his doubt about Musk’s preparation for the showdown. But, he also had a piece of positive news for him.
@elonmusk Not sure if your corner is set but word on the street is 2x UFC bantamweight champion @DominickCruz has expressed interest in cornering you for your upcoming fight.

- The former UFC Lightweight champ, Eddie Alvarez also picked Musk’s side, offering to train him for the bout.

- The former UFC Flyweight queen, Valentina Shevchenko, didn’t pick any boat, but she suggested a timeline and venue for the fight to be organized.

However, the arguable ‘GOAT of the UFC’, Jon Jones, chose to stand out as he picked the Meta CEO, Zuckerberg as his choice. ‘Bones’ also offered to train ‘Zuck’.
You already know I am Team Zuck…. Let me know if you need a training partner!
— BONY (@JonnyBones) June 23, 2023
But, looking at ‘Zuck’s’ current combat sports prowess, many would believe that conquering him is going to be a really uphill task for the Twitter CEO. Let us know whose side are you on in this rivalry between the two business moguls.
Daniel Cormier reveals his warning for Michael Chandler before the Conor McGregor bout
Like a lot of others, the former UFC champ-champ and current commentator, Daniel Cormier, also wasn’t pretty pleased about the ‘almost-done’ scrapping of the Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler bout. But, he still asked Chandler, the interested one, to never give up on this bout.
In one of the recent videos on his YouTube channel, Cormier addressed Chandler stating, “But my one bit of advice to him was, don’t let the fight fall by the wayside. Do whatever you have to do in order to keep this fight together. Because this is a fight that can really elevate you to a level that no one else in the fight game can.”
A lot of fight fans might agree with Cormier on this. After all, success mostly comes only after hustles. It’s apparent that ‘Iron’ will have to do the same to even get this fight confirmed.
Andrew Tate picks Elon Musk’s side and also offers to train him
How could the ‘Top G’ Andrew Tate stay away from the coveted Zuck vs Musk fight when he himself was a world champion kickboxer? Well, the answer is he couldn’t. Tate also picked up his side for the coveted tech giant CEO rivalry. Further, he made an offer to train the CEO, whom he picked as his choice.
Tate’s tweet revealing his take on the issue read, “Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines. But now we can restore honour with a strike at the enemy clan’s leader. I will train you @elonmusk.You will not lose.”
