The battle lines are drawn! The anticipation of a clash between two tech titans – Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, has captivated the fans for long. As the excitement builds, renowned figures from the MMA and combat sports world are joining the fray. Notably, MMA icons like Georges St-Pierre and UFC top guns like Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski have already begun training their favored fighter out of the pair.

While St-Pierre is rooting for the Twitter CEO, Adesanya, and Volkanovski, the two UFC hot-shots are siding with the Meta CEO. What’s more – in a recent interview, UFC Featherweight champ and pound-for-pound #1 fighter Volkanovski shed light on Zuckerberg’s commitment to training and his seriousness about the much-discussed fight. But he wasn’t too sure about Musk! And ‘The Great’ has some really revealing statements on the Meta CEO’s alacrity for the fight.

‘The Great’ is vouching for the Meta CEO

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, ‘Volk’ spoke candidly about his training experience with the Meta CEO. During a recent training session at New Zealand’s City Kickboxing gym, ‘Volk’ had the opportunity to train alongside Zuckerberg, who displayed surprising athleticism and dedication to his fitness regimen.

Quoting Volkanovski, he said, “I’ve said it – even from the first time I met him, how much of an athlete he is… like people just don’t get to see that side of him. “

‘The Great’ also noted that people often overlook this aspect of Zuckerberg’s persona due to his public image as a tech entrepreneur. The Featherweight champion was impressed by the Meta CEO’s physical condition, emphasizing that his well-built physique surpassed mere appearance. Zuckerberg’s commitment to training and athleticism resonated with Volkanovski, as it showcased his genuine passion for the sport.

Moreover, ‘The Great’ asserted that Zuckerberg is committed to the training, adding, “He’s coordinated and he’s committed. I guess he commits to everything he does – [otherwise] he wouldn’t be where he is if he didn’t.” However, UFC #1 remained unsure about Elon Musk’s level of dedication to the contest.

In the same vein, according to Volkanovski, “I’m telling you, he [Mark] is serious. I don’t know how serious Elon is… but I’m telling you, he’s training [hard].”
