In a surprising turn of events, billionaire tycoon Elon Musk has teamed up with UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre as a training partner as the anticipation for a future cage bout versus Mark Zuckerberg grows. Following an exciting conversation on Twitter, Musk, and St-Pierre decided to work together.
Musk received a message from Georges St-Pierre, who is considered as one of the best fighters in the history of mixed martial arts, expressing his respect for him and making an offer to train with him for the much-awaited match with Mark Zuckerberg. St-Pierre has a great career consisting of a 26-2-0 record and titles in two distinct UFC weight divisions. His last fight in 2017 against Michael Bisping resulted in a resounding victory before retiring and voluntarily vacating the title. Despite his retirement, St-Pierre remains committed to his fitness, frequently sharing workout and training videos.
Elon Musk, known for his eccentricity and involvement in various ventures such as SpaceX, accepted St-Pierre’s offer. The former Twitter CEO, who confessed to not regularly working out, has previously dabbled in disciplines like judo, Kyokushin (full contact), and even “no rules streetfighting.”
What initially began as banter on Twitter quickly escalated into a challenge for a cage match between Musk and Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta. Surprisingly, Zuckerberg accepted the challenge, leading UFC President Dana White to confirm that both billionaires were “absolutely dead serious” about the potential bout. White even speculated that this celebrity clash could become the “biggest fight ever in the history of the world,” surpassing all pay-per-view records and raising substantial funds for charity.
The concept of the cage match emerged from reports of Meta’s development of a Twitter-like application designed to directly compete with the platform. Musk, voicing concerns about a monopoly, playfully suggested the idea of a cage match, which Zuckerberg seemingly embraced by responding, “Send Me Location” on Instagram. In response, Musk proposed Las Vegas as the venue, suggesting the fight take place inside a UFC Octagon.
Georges St-Pierre’s involvement adds an additional layer of intrigue to this captivating storyline. Throughout his UFC career, he was a dominant force in the welterweight division, securing victories over notable opponents such as Johny Hendricks, Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit, and Matt Hughes. These accomplishments led to his induction into the UFC Hall of Fame Class of 2020.
