Elon Musk receives training offer from UFC star Jorge Masvidal ahead of Mark Zuckerberg mega-fight

Elon Musk has received offers from MMA stars Jorge Masvidal and Sean Strickland to train him for his billionaire super fight with Mark Zuckerberg.

The tech entrepreneurs agreed to face each other in a ‘cage match’ over social media and appear to be serious about getting it on.

Srickland competes for the UFC and is the promotion’s No7 ranked middleweight contender while Masvidal recently hung up his gloves after a stellar 20-year stint in the sport that saw him compete for the UFC welterweight title twice.

Both men are big fans of Twitter’s chairman and are willing to help him prepare for his proposed bout with Zuckerberg. 

Srickland was the first to offer his services as a trainer, tweeting: ‘Man f*** Mark Zuckerberg.. Dirty communist…. No one wants your goggles and your disinformation censorship but…. Facebook market gets a pass…. @elonmusk come to Vegas. We will put in work!’

Former two-time UFC welterweight title challenger Jorge Masvidal is also keen to train Musk

Masvidal quickly followed this up by putting his name in the mix as well.’@elonmusk lmk we get some work in,’ he wrote.

This comes after Musk posted a message on his social media platform Twitter affirming that he is ‘up for a cage match’ with Zuckerberg.

The Facebook founder responded: “Send me location,” a nod to UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov’s famous catchphrase.

Zuckerberg has been training in Brazilian jiu jitsu for eighteen months and recently won a novice tournament.

Meanwhile, Musk has a background in judo, taekwondo and karate. 

Many have doubted whether the fight will actually take place but UFC president Dana White, who has thrown his hat in the ring to promote the contest, affirms that they are ‘dead serious’ about squaring off.

Zuckerberg called out the Twitter CEO on his Instagram page, asking him to send a location for the fight

Musk, who took control of Twitter in October, tweeted that he was ‘up for a cage fight’ with Meta boss Zuckerberg

 ‘They both said, “yeah we’ll do it.” They both want to do it,’ he told TMZ. 

‘Mark Zuckerberg hit me up first and said “is he serious?” I said, “I don’t know, let me ask him” and I asked him, and he said “yeah, I’m dead serious.”

‘This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world. Bigger than anything that has ever been done.

‘It would break all pay-per-view records, these guys would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity. You don’t have to be a fight fan to be interested in this fight. Everybody would want to see it.’
