Mark Zuckerberg training with UFC champions Israel Adesanya & Alexander Volkanovski.
Days after Elon Musk and Georges St-Pierre joined forces for a training session, Zuckerberg has received help from a pair of UFC champions.
In a series of photos posted Tuesday by UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, Zuckerberg appears to have gotten in a training session with him and UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, who just three days removed from a title defense at UFC 290.
Musk’s preparation for a fight has also been publicly documented, as photos of him training with computer scientist and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu black belt Lex Fridman surfaced a few weeks ago.
Zuckerberg has trained in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for some time, capturing two medals in his first Jiu-Jitsu tournament in May.
Over the past year, Zuckerberg has continued to increasingly align himself amongst those in the MMA community. In addition to following almost exclusively MMA accounts on social media, Zuckerberg attended an event with his wife, Priscilla Chan, at the UFC Apex in October. The Facebook founder has also competed in Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions.
In recent weeks, an online feud between Zuckerberg and Tesla founder Musk resulted in both billionaires indicating they’d like to face each other in an MMA bout. UFC president Dana White has repeatedly said he spoke to both men and that they are serious about a fight. The UFC has even printed “Musk vs. Zuckerberg” apparel, which is being sold on their online store.
It is unclear if a fight between Zuckerberg and Musk will happen, but tensions have continued between the two executives as their companies compete to dominate the social media marketplace. On Monday, Musk posted two tweets in which he called Zuckerberg a “cuck” and pitched a “literal dick measuring contest,” with the Meta CEO. The tweets were posted the same day it was announced that Meta’s Threads, Twitter’s new rival platform, reached 100 million users. Musk accused Meta last week of misusing Twitter’s “trade secrets and other intellectual property” and poaching former Twitter employees to develop a “copycat” app.
