Whatever has happened in the story arc of Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg is nothing less than a dramatic movie script. Two tech billionaires who have decided to settle their differences in an MMA cage are now training with real and accomplished fighters to hone their skills. Mark Zuckerberg has been famously training with UFC champions Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski.

Elon Musk, on the other hand, has had training sessions with UFC legend Georges St-Pierre. However, the X owner doesn’t apparently feel content with training under just one MMA legend. This is why he allegedly tried to get another UFC legend, Khabib Nurmagomedov to train him.

A Reddit post is making rounds on social media, and it reports that the 52-year-old billionaire Elon Musk offered Khabib Nurmagomedov to train him. However, ‘The Eagle’ refused the offer, for reasons unknown. However, the entire MMA world knows of Nurmagomedov’s reservations to step back into the world of combat sports. Considering that, it wasn’t surprising for the former UFC champ to decline this offer.
