Elon Musk seems to be a man of his word after recently being photographed alongside the legendary coach John Danaher. As it happens, Danaher wasn’t the only black belt in attendance, as Lex Fridman and ex-UFC champion Georges St. Pierre were also in attendance. Here, they stood next to Musk in no-gi attire, with the South African smiling from ear to ear.
This comes just weeks after Musk called out Mark Zuckerberg for an MMA fight. So, it looks as though he may actually be taking training seriously. This comes after Zuckerberg recently trained with Mikey Musumeci and revealed that he had been training BJJ for months.
In fact, Musk’s callout came after he saw Mark Zuckerberg winning a BJJ competition – so he may have had a bit of the green-eyed monster.
Despite Zuckerberg being considerably more experienced than Musk in BJJ, you can see in the above picture that Musk is far bigger than Zuckerberg, both in terms of height and weight which could be a key factor in an MMA fight.
The above picture was originally posted by Gordon Ryan on Instagram, who captioned it by saying, “Zuck, your move, cowboy.” Although their proposed MMA fight is still in the realms of fantasy, it still shows that this one could genuinely happen – in which UFC president Dana White called it ‘The biggest fight in history’. Watch this space.
