'Elon Musk watch out': Mark Zuckerberg passes another level in fight training, shares news
Mark Zuckerberg has an important update that can be seen in lines with his potential fight against Elon Musk. The two agreed for a cage match.
The rumblings about a possible Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk fight gained a lot of traction a few weeks ago when the two billionaires were engaged in a social media chatter. But as time has passed, the excitement among the fight fans is beginning to nosedive. While UFC president Dana White has claimed that both Zuckerberg and Musk are on board for a one-on-one encounter in the Octagon, no development has occurred lately. Even the MMA fraternity has gone quiet on the subject. Since the UFC, which may take the onus of conducting the fight, has a history of throwing huge surprises, it would be too early to comment on whether the teach giants will embroil in a takedown or not. For those rooting for the fight to take place, a possible update has been dropped from the Meta founder's side.

Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk: Picked up and dwindled
In the aftermath of Elon Musk's proposal of a 'cage match' and Zuckerberg accepting it, the fight fraternity was left in splits with some wanting to see the fight whereas others don't comply with the idea. Initially, it seemed the escalations are taking place and matchmakers are interested in propelling a fight of the ages and once in for all take the Twitter vs Facebook battle from the airconditioned conference rooms to the nerve-wracking atmosphere of the Octagon. Moreover, Georges St-Pierre offering his hand to train Elon Musk gave further fuel to the fire. The pictures of Musk in a perspiring state after an intense session with GSP made further waves. Zuckerberg, on the other hand, had rounds with UFC Middlewight Champion Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski, which implied that the preparations are in place from both sides. Nevertheless, the noise has tamed down in the last few weeks.
Mark Zuckerberg leaves the fight world guessing yet again

"Congrats Dave Camarillo on your 5th degree black belt. You're a great coach and I've learned so much about fighting and life from training with you. Also honored to be promoted to compete at blue belt for the Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu team." Wrote Zuckerberg while congratulating his coach and also highlighting his achievement.
