It seems like Mark Zuckerberg is learning from the best to prepare for a war against his rival in the tech world, Elon Musk. The two have been engaged in a social media battle that might just translate into an MMA fight. Recently, fans saw the Meta CEO train with UFC champions Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski.

Was it for a fight against Musk? No one can surely confirm at the moment. But it is clear that Zuckerberg is taking the thought of stepping into an MMA cage very seriously. Moreover, he also participated in a Jiu-Jitsu competition a few months ago, where he bagged multiple medals.

Giving fans a bit more exposure about Zuckerberg’s fighting skills, Israel Adesanya recently talked about it in his YouTube video. In the video, the UFC middleweight champ did not hold back while praising Zuckerberg’s dedication and intelligence.
