In a surprising turn of events, Mark Zuckerberg has taken to social media to share a shirtless photo showcasing his sculpted physique, accompanied by two renowned MMA fighters.
The image, posted by the Meta CEO on Instagram, features Zuckerberg flanked by two modern-day MMA icons: Israel Adesanya on his left and Alex Volkanovski on his right. This unexpected snapshot suggests that Zuckerberg is actively recruiting top-tier training partners for his own endeavors.
Israel Adesanya, known for his sharp wit, captioned the post, “No fugazi with Mark. This is serious business,” alluding to the ongoing rumors of a potential cage match between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
The timing of Zuckerberg’s recruitment of Adesanya and Volkanovski coincides with Musk accepting an open invitation from former UFC legend George St-Pierre to train together, a move that gained attention on Twitter.
The rivalry between Musk and Zuckerberg escalated further with the launch of Threads, Zuckerberg’s text-based social media platform and competitor to Twitter. Musk engaged in more trash talk, even challenging Zuckerberg to a “dick-measuring contest.”
Zuckerberg’s latest display of his toned physique seems to be yet another step in the never-ending cycle of online posturing between the two tech billionaires.
While a physical showdown between the two remains uncertain, Dana White, UFC’s president, has expressed willingness to facilitate a pay-per-view event if it were to materialize. However, it’s worth noting that Musk’s biographer doubts the likelihood of an actual fight, suggesting that this public feud serves as a platform for the two to air their grievances, disregarding potential betting lines.
Regardless of the outcome, both Zuckerberg and Musk find themselves indulging in a publicity frenzy fueled by testosterone, diverting attention from the groundbreaking products they create.
A spokesperson for Meta declined to comment on the photo or the cage match speculation, leaving fans and followers eagerly awaiting further developments in this captivating saga.
