The internet exploded when Tesla and Twitter owner Elon Musk called out the owner of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, for a cage fight over Twitter. Zuckerberg responded with an affirmation, leading to people getting hyped about a possible billionaire fight. The two were apparently quite serious about it.

UFC President Dana White had expressed interest in promoting the fight but had to face severe criticism for promoting a ‘gimmick fight’. In between all of this, UFC fighters from different weight classes had pitched in, offering their training services for the fighters. In fact, UFC commentator Joe Rogan was one of the names suggested for officiating the match, and Musk seemed to love the idea.

Training Ensues – Elon Musk a step ahead in training gear

MMA legend Gordon ‘King’ Ryan had called out UFC fighters, slamming them for ‘seeking attention’ by nominating themselves to help train the tech giants. However, he recently uploaded a picture on Instagram with a caption that is in contrast to what he had said before.

Arguably one of the best martial artists of all time, Ryan posted saying, “@zuck your move, cowboy 😂”.

From the looks of it, Elon Musk has been training with the UFC Legend, Georges St-Pierre.

St-Pierre was one of the fighters who had nominated themselves to help the billionaires train. Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, hasn’t provided any updates on his training or his mentor. However, in this regard, Zuckerberg has an edge over the Twitter CEO. Apparently, Zuckerberg is trained in BJJ and has a more illustrious combat background as well.

UFC commentator Laura Sanko re-shared Gordon Ryan’s post on her Instagram story with a caption that read “… the plot thickens”. 

Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg – How it all started!

Elon Musk was the first one to call for the fight when he called out Mark Zuckerberg over Twitter. He proposed a cage fight at the UFC Vegas Octagon – and Zuckerberg accepted it. Since then, fighters like Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Dominick Cruz, and others have started picking sides. UFC HW champ Jon Jones offered Zuckerberg training in case he needed it.

Musk has been pretty active in terms of pursuing this fight. But Zuckerberg is like the silence before the storm.

With GOAT candidates like Jon Jones and Georges St-Pierre placed on opposite ends, it is guaranteed to be a fun fight to watch.
