Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg in BJJ might happen, says Gordon Ryan!
Firstly, Ryan talked about Musk training with his coach, John Danaher, and others at his gym. Moreover, he revealed that Zuckerberg reached out to him to train together. While Ryan hadn’t personally trained with Musk or Zuckerberg, he saw Zuckerberg in action and knew Musk was bigger but older.
Ryan said, “Zuckerberg actually messaged me. He wants me to go out to California sometime and train with him. I didn’t actually get to train with Elon or Zuckerberg yet but John trained with Elon and I’ve seen Zuckerberg train and compete.”
Zuckerberg, in his thirties, is committed to training and even competes in Jiu-Jitsu. The famous martial artist revealed that he had spoken to Zuckerberg, who was fully on board for a super fight against Musk at ADCC (Abu Dhabi Combat Club) next year. If both parties agree, Mo Jassim, the organizer of ADCC, would facilitate the matchup.
“So if they were to compete in jiu-jitsu right now, which Zuckerberg (is), I talked to him, and he’s a hundred percent in to fight Elon at ADCC for a super fight next year. Mo will actually make that happen if they both want to do it,” stated the five-time ADCC champion. He further gave his prediction for the super fight as well.

Ryan said, “If they competed in jiu-jitsu right now, I think Zuck would win pretty easily. I don’t think Elon trains very much. He trained judo apparently a long time ago, but the muscle memory probably isn’t there. Zuckerberg is training every day, hard, and he’s serious about it.”
