VIDEO: Musk Trains with Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Blogger Before Fight with Zuckerberg
American billionaire Elon Musk has been preparing for his mixed martial arts (MMA) fight against Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg by training in jiu-jitsu with renowned blogger Lex Fridman, who holds a black belt in the martial art. Fridman announced this on Twitter.
“Yesterday, I had an impromptu training session with Elon Musk that lasted several hours. I am extremely impressed with his strength, power, and footwork skills. It was epic,” he wrote.
According to Fridman, “It’s very inspiring to see how Elon and Mark are involved in martial arts, but it would be better for the whole world if they just trained and didn’t fight in the ring.” He also shared photos where Musk is throwing himself to the ground during training. The billionaire responded to this post with, “It was fun.”
Recall that two of the world's most famous billionaires, 52-year-old Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter, and 39-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, head of Meta, have agreed to fight each other. Musk had posted on his Twitter account that he was “ready to fight Zuckerberg in a cage.” Following this, Zuckerberg shared a screenshot of Musk's post with the caption, “Send me the location.” Musk then replied to Zuckerberg, “Vegas, Octagon.” The Octagon is a venue used for UFC fights.
