Elon Musk Agrees To Join Forces with UFC Legend GSP to Fight Mark Zuckerberg in Epic Cage Match Showdown
Elon Musk has agreed to train with former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre (GSP) in preparation for a potential cage match against Mark Zuckerberg.
The Twitter exchange between Musk and GSP began when the retired UFC superstar expressed his admiration for Musk and offered to be his training partner for the fight against Zuckerberg. GSP, widely regarded as one of the greatest UFC fighters in history, holds championships in two different weight classes and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2020.
Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and owner of Twitter, had initially challenged Zuckerberg to a cage match on Twitter. Zuckerberg later accepted the challenge, and UFC President Dana White confirmed that both billionaires were “absolutely dead serious” about the fight. White even speculated that the match could be the “biggest fight ever in the history of the world” and break pay-per-view records while raising millions for charity. Musk took to Twitter to accept GSP’s offer, writing:
“Ok, let’s do it.”
Musk, who admitted to not regularly working out, will now have the opportunity to train with GSP, who frequently shares workout and training videos despite being retired. The idea for the cage match arose from a report suggesting that Zuckerberg’s company, Meta, was developing a Twitter-like application to compete with Musk’s Twitter platform.
The potential bout between Musk and Zuckerberg has generated significant attention and interest, with fans eagerly awaiting further developments.
In a twist nobody saw coming, it seems that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Elon Musk might actually step into the ring to compete against each other in a sanctioned fight of sorts. The buzz surrounding this potential matchup has reached new heights, with UFC President Dana White offering to host the fight, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship expressing interest, and now, even Pillow Fight Championship (PFC) wanting a piece of the action.
According to TMZ, White revealed, “Talked with Mark and Elon last night, both guys are absolutely dead serious about this. The biggest fight of all time was Floyd [Mayweather] and Conor [McGregor]. I just think [Zuckerberg vs. Musk] triples that — it triples what that did, there’s no limit on what that thing can make.”
This unexpected turn of events came about after a tweet suggesting that Zuckerberg’s company is developing a social media platform to rival Twitter. Musk, known for his witty responses, chimed in, “I’m up for a cage match if he is LOL,” referring to Zuckerberg recently taking up jiu-jitsu.
While not financially backed like UFC or BKFC, Pillow Fight Championship has thrown its hat into the ring, proposing that a professional pillow fight between the two tech moguls might be the most fitting way to settle their differences. In an Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg pillow fight, neither competitor is likely to sustain serious injuries, and the training required would be considerably less intense.
The social media team of PFC wasted no time jumping into the conversation, tweeting directly to Elon Musk, “Hey @elonmusk, forget a silly cage match. Fight Zuckerberg like a true warrior and challenge him to a professional pillow fight! We can even put it on ESPN! #pillowfight #professionalpillowfighting #PFC”
