The Meta Chief Executive Officer, Mark Zuckerberg, on Tuesday, was pictured training with UFC champions, Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski.
The picture of his training
session with the UFC champions has further increased speculations on the
possibility of an MMA fight between him and Twitter CEO, Elon Musk.
Recall that the prospect of an
MMA showdown between the tech gurus started as an online banter some weeks
back.
However, tension has heightened
between the duo since Zuckerberg launched his Twitter-like app called Threads.
Threads launched on July 5, 2023,
and has since gathered more than 100 million users worldwide.
However, Musk, the Tesla and
SpaceX CEO believes Threads was only made possible by “cheating.”
Musk stated this while responding
to a tweet reporting that Twitter was threatening to sue Facebook and
Instagram’s parent company Meta for cheating with its new app Threads on
Friday, July 7, 2023. Musk tweeted, “Competition is fine, cheating is not.”
As arguments heated over the new
app online, the two tech moguls have once again renewed their banter challenge
on having a showdown cage fight.
However, while some viewed the
challenge for an MMA fight as playful banter between the influential figures,
the anticipation surrounding this unlikely showdown continued to grow with both
of them pictured training with MMA fighters.
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg while
reacting to his picture with the UFC champions – Adesanya and Volkanovski
wrote, “It’s an honour to train with you guys!”
Responding, “The Last
Stylebender’ who posted photos of the training session, wrote, “No fugazi with
Mark. This is Serious Business.”
Also, Volkanovski, the UFC
featherweight kingpin responded, “@zuck you’re a beast! Always great to catch
up.”
Musk also looks to be in a
training session already as he was also spotted with UFC legend Georges
St-Pierre on Tuesday, July 3, 2023.
