Mark Zuckerberg looks slim and toned after a UFC-inspired training session.
When Mark Zuckerberg accepted the fight offer from Elon Musk, it was assumed that it was in a joking matter. It turns out that both have stirred the pot a bit by sharing different pictures following workouts with UFC champions. On Tuesday, it was Zuckerberg’s turn as he trained with UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
Last week, Musk was seen in a post next to UFC legend Georges St-Pierre following a training session. Podcast host Lex Fridman and jiujitsu coach John Danaher were also present. In June, it was Musk who initiated the contact between both sides.

Elon Musk holds a significant advantage in size as he stands close to 6-foot-2, compared to 5-foot-7 of Mark Zuckerberg but that seems to be all.
Unlike Zuckerberg, Musk does not have background in this area but linked up with UFC greats when the initial story broke. St-Pierre, the former two-division UFC champion, reached out to Elon Musk when the rumored fight with Mark Zuckerberg spread across the web. St-Pierre sent Musk a message over Twitter offering to help train the billionaire for his potential match with Zuckerberg.
