Elon Musk is gearing up for his highly anticipated fight with Mark Zuckerberg and is wasting no time in preparing for the showdown.
He recently engaged in a training session with renowned black belt Lex Fridman, who has trained alongside fellow billionaire Elon in the past.
Lex Fridman, a popular podcaster and jiu-jitsu black belt, shared a photo of Elon Musk slamming him to the ground during their impromptu training session on Monday.
Lex was thoroughly impressed with Elon’s fighting abilities, praising his strength, power, and skill both in stand-up combat and on the ground.
“I’m extremely impressed with his strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground,” Lex expressed. “It was epic. It’s really inspiring to see Elon and Mark engaging in martial arts. However, I believe the world would be better served if they trained in martial arts without actually fighting in the cage.”

While Lex acknowledges the desire of fans to witness a battle between Elon and Mark, he emphasizes the importance of their martial arts training beyond a competitive spectacle.
He supports their pursuit of martial arts but hopes it extends to personal growth rather than a physical confrontation.
“That said, as Elon says, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely… I’m there for them, no matter what,” added Lex, reflecting the anticipation surrounding the potential fight.
The training session with Lex comes after his recent podcast episode featuring Mark Zuckerberg, during which they also engaged in jiu-jitsu training together. It seems martial arts has become a shared interest among these tech moguls.
Elon’s commitment to preparing for the fight extends beyond his session with Lex Fridman. He has accepted an offer to train with UFC legend Georges St-Pierre, showcasing his dedication to honing his fighting skills. On the other hand, Mark has received an offer of training from Jon Jones, another prominent figure in the world of mixed martial arts.
UFC President Dana White confirmed the seriousness of both Elon and Mark regarding their desire to step into the octagon. Elon’s recent training session with Lex Fridman further emphasizes his determination to make the fight a reality.
Fans eagerly await further updates on this highly anticipated match-up, which has captured the attention of both the tech and martial arts communities. As preparations continue, it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will ultimately face off in a fight that promises to be a captivating spectacle.
