In what seems like a battle between microblogging platforms Meta Threads and Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is reportedly preparing himself for a potential "cage match" against SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. The intense training regimen of Zuckerberg has been highlighted in a recent Instagram and Twitter post by Israel Adesanya, the current two-time UFC middleweight champion. The photos depict a ripped and muscular Zuckerberg, flaunting his abs alongside Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski, the current UFC featherweight champion.
It appears that Zuckerberg is taking the idea of a "cage fight" seriously, as the billionaire has been apprenticing under renowned MMA fighters to refine his skills. The visible results of his training speak for themselves, showcasing a transformed physique.
While the exact date of the photo taken is unclear, Zuckerberg is captured in the middle, with Adesanya to his left and Volkanovski to his right as posted by the UFC Champ. The caption accompanying the pictures, "No fugazi with Mark. This is serious business," indicates that Zuckerberg views the challenge as more than just an internet joke but rather a genuine provocation.
This development comes shortly after UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre posted a picture on Instagram, training with Elon Musk, Lex Fridman, and jiu-jitsu instructor John Danaher.

The fresh photo further fuels speculation about an epic clash between the tech titans, with both parties investing significant effort to outperform each other.
Adding to the anticipation, UFC president Dana White had earlier shared an Instagram video wearing a Zuckerberg vs. Elon shirt, showing his support for the potential fight. White has even offered to set up a pay-per-view event for this potentially historic showdown.
Fans and observers now face the decision of picking sides, whether they align with Team Elon Musk or Team Mark Zuckerberg. The ultimate showdown between these billionaire fighters awaits, and may the best competitor emerge victorious.
