Watch out Elon! Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg shows off his incredibly ripped physique after a training session with UFC stars as he prepares for a billionaire fight with Twitter rival Musk
Mark Zuckerberg has shown off his incredibly ripped physique ahead of his hyped billionaire fight with Twitter rival Elon Musk after coming out of a training session with UFC stars.
On Tuesday, the Meta boss posed for snaps with UFC featherweight champion, Alex Volkanovski, and two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya at a gym in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
“No fugazi with Mark,” Adesanya shared on Instagram along with a shark emoji. ‘This is serious business!!’
Zuckerberg responded to a post by stating that “it’s an honor to train with you!” as he gears himself up for his battle against Musk, with whom he’s been feuding since the launch of Threads – a new competitor to Twitter – earlier this month.
Last week, Volkanovski’s agent confirmed that the Australian had been approached to train Zuckerberg ahead of his MMA fight against his big technical rival.

Elon Musk (R) had a grueling training session with Georges St Pierre (red shorts) earlier in July.
Zuckerberg is considered a huge fan of UFC and has developed a 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 is not known if “Zuck” – a Harvard dropout – is “close” with Adesanya, although he has been offered to be trained by a wide variety of 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.

GSP also shared the same image, joking about the wealth of knowledge on display in the photo, tweeting, “Great training session with 3 guys I really admire. Combined IQ in this photo is 1000. “Not counting me”‘
‘Very nice! The obvious conclusion is that I need *much* more training,” Musk said on Twitter.
Musk was also pictured training with a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt specialist in June.
