Twitter boss Elon Musk has been spotted in a martial arts training session ahead of a potential cage fight with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

What started as a joke is gaining momentum after photos of Musk training with renowned Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt holder Lex Fridman surfaced online.

Fridman shared two photos from the session with Musk, observing that he was "extremely impressed with the Twitter boss' strength, power and skill."

"I did an impromptu training session with @elonmusk for a few hours yesterday. His strength, power, and skill on the feet and the ground are extremely impressive. It was epic," part of the tweet read.

Fridman suggested the tech billionaires take on martial arts training instead of a cage fight, adding that Musk revealed that an "entertaining outcome is the most likely".

"It's really inspiring to see Elon and Mark doing martial arts, but I think the world is served far better if they train in martial arts but not fight in the cage."

"That said, as Elon says, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely. I'm there for them, no matter what," he added.

According to The Mirror, the SpaceX owner previously trained in Kyokushin karate, taekwondo, and judo.

Zuckerberg recently won two medals at a jiu-jitsu tournament in California.

UFC Heavyweight champion Jon Jones has offered to train Zuckerberg for the anticipated fight in the Octagon.
