It’s still unclear what total bluffing is in this fighting business, but he’s counting on Elon Musk to keep adding pieces to the machine. On Tuesday he accepted a proposal from a former MMA champion to train him for his cage fight against MarK Zuckerberg.
“I am a huge fan of yours and it would be an absolute honor to help you and be your training partner for the challenge against Zuckerberg,” Canadian Georges Saint-Pierre wrote on Twitter. “Okay, let’s go,” Elon Musk responded.
Georges Saint-Pierre is one of the greatest fighters in his discipline, several times world champion of the UFC, the main MMA franchise.
The head of the UFC, Dana White, also assured last week that the head of Twitter and the head of Meta are “absolutely serious” about this fight that could take place in Las Vegas.
Another former fighter, Chael Sonnen, says Mark Zuckerberg is planning this fight for UFC 300, an event that hasn’t been announced yet but is supposed to happen around spring 2024. A Meta spokesperson denied the information to TMZ.
The clash, launched last week, is the latest taunt by Musk against his rival, whom he accuses of preparing a rival app for Twitter. But Tesla’s boss is far from extraordinarily reliable and this fight could well be just another joke from the billionaire.
