Mark Zuckerberg has seemingly been training with the Last Stylebender amid rumours of a potential bout with the world's richest man.
Mark Zuckerberg recently teamed up with a pair of UFC champions for MMA training.
The Meta CEO has always been a serious fan of mixed martial arts and has been spotted at several Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events in recent years.
Zuckerberg got a private viewing of a UFC Fight Night event last year that was headlined by Mackenzie Dern vs. Yan Xiaonan.
Mark Zuckerberg links up with Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski in training ahead of potential Elon Musk bout
In preparation for a potential appearance in MMA, Zuckerberg got some work in with UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya and UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski following UFC 290.
In a recent tweet, Adesanya shared some photos of Zuckerberg's MMA training.
Adesanya tweeted on Tuesday: "No fugazi with Mark. This is Serious Business!" while sharing a picture of himself alongside Meta CEO and the UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski.
It is no secret that Facebook CEO Zuckerberg, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, have teased a potential cage fight this year, an idea that UFC President Dana White has taken seriously.
White has stated his intention to see two of Earth’s most famous billionaires slug it out one on one in the Octagon.
Zuckerberg has proven himself as a formidable opponent in the ring, having recently won his first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament.
According to reports, he primarily trains with PFL fighter Khai Wu and others in California.
Both Zuckerberg and Musk have been seen training hard as they prepare for the potential clash.
This comes amid reports of a legal battle between the billionaire duo over a new Zuckerberg’s famous new app called 'Threads'.
A report last week revealed that Twitter had threatened legal action against Meta over its new text-based app, Threads, which has drawn tens of millions of users since launching this week as a rival to Elon Musk’s social media platform.
The move also increased the tensions between the social media giants after Threads debuted last week, targeting those who are seeking out alternatives to Twitter amid unpopular changes Musk has made to the platform since buying it last year for a staggering $44 billion.
