The monumental clash between tech billionaires, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, captured the attention of the entire world. Both Zuckerberg and Musk do not need to earn money through a fight, as they already have all the riches in the world. However, they chose a cage fight to resort to their rivalry in the tech world. Ever since the planning of a cage fight between them took momentum, the UFC fighters chose whom to support. The UFC legend, Georges St-Pierre, who is considered the GOAT of MMA by many, chose the side of the X owner. Surprisingly, he also helped Musk sharpen his MMA skills.

After training with Musk, GSP claimed that Musk is much stronger than the average man and that he has all the potential to win against Zuckerberg. However, at the moment, Musk needs some time for the clash, as he might need surgery. After Musk mentioned this hurdle on the way, GSP’s coach John Danaher came up with a request. He asked the billionaire titans to focus on something other than a cage fight. Let’s dive deeper to find out his request.

He continued, “And think there’s two people who have put themselves in a position where they can create greater benefits for humanity than almost anyone else on the planet. And so there’s a sense in which I wish they would focus more on that than fighting each other.” According to Danaher, both Musk and Zuckerberg should focus on doing greater things for the well-being of society. However, it seems that presently, most of Musk and Zuckerberg’s time is invested in training for their upcoming showdown.
