Last week, Volkanovski’s agent confirmed that the Australian had been approached about training Zuckerberg ahead of his MMA fight against Musk.
Zuckerberg is a huge fan of MMA and has developed a good friendship with Volkanovski in recent years.
“Yeah, he’s a buddy,” Volkanovski said before a fight last year. “I knew long before he appeared in the UFC that he is a huge fan. He likes the sport.
“I really consider him my mate. Again, he’s a cool guy, we get along.”
It’s not known if “Zuck” – a Harvard dropout – will train much more with Adesanya, though he has been offered to be coached by a wide variety of elite UFC fighters, including Jon Jones.
On the other hand, Musk has received similar offers from other high-profile mixed martial artists, such as Jorge Masvidal, Dominick Cruz, and Georges St-Pierre.
A confirmation and official date for the much-speculated fight between Musk and Zuckerberg have yet to be revealed.
Last week, Musk admitted he needed “much more training” after a few grueling sessions with St. Pierre, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.
