UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre offers to train Elon Musk for a hypothetical MMA fight against Mark Zuckerberg, while Jon Jones shows support for Team Zuckerberg.
Imagine a scenario where Georges St-Pierre is coaching Elon Musk in a corner opposite Jon Jones, who is mentoring Mark Zuckerberg for an MMA fight. Although it may sound like a bizarre fever dream, St-Pierre mentioned his interest in training Musk for a potential fight between Musk and Zuckerberg on Saturday.
UFC Hall of Famer St-Pierre claimed to be a massive fan of Musk, who initially sparked the idea of a cage match with Zuckerberg in response to the Meta CEO’s potential Twitter competitor. St-Pierre tweeted, “I’m a huge fan of yours and it would be an absolute honor to help you and be your training partner for the challenge against Zuckerberg.” Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has gained attention for his recent foray into jiu-jitsu, even winning medals in his first tournament appearance.
Former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz also offered to coach Musk, who jokingly mentioned smothering the social media mogul with his size during the match. The prospect of two billionaires battling it out in the octagon quickly gained worldwide attention, and UFC President Dana White even volunteered to promote the event. White told TMZ, “This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world, bigger than anything that’s ever been done. It would break all pay-per-view records.” Jon Jones also showed support for Zuckerberg, tweeting, “Let me know if you need a training partner!” It seems that sometimes, reality can be stranger than fiction.
