It seems Elon Musk is seriously considering fighting Mark Zuckerberg in the cage. He has already begun preparations with a popular internet personality known for his love for jiu-jitsu.
Last week, Musk and Zuckerberg engaged in some friendly social media banter that led to the two tech billionaires seemingly agreeing to a cage fight. Things heated up when UFC president Dana White confirmed both men were serious about their fighting intentions and that he could make it happen.
While Mark Zuckerberg is a known jiu-jitsu aficionado, Elon Musk was not a known practitioner of any martial art form. However, the Tesla CEO was recently seen doing a grappling session with famous podcaster Lex Fridman. He recently tweeted pictures of their training session and wrote:
"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."
