It’s the battle of the billionaires that no one saw coming. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Elon Musk are reportedly gearing up for a potential fight that could settle their long-standing rivalry once and for all.
Zuckerberg has made a surprising move in his preparations by hiring professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters to train him for the possible showdown.
UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski were spotted arriving at Zuckerberg‘s residence in Northern California right after the UFC 290 showcase in Las Vegas.
Social media users were stunned by the photos that emerged online, showing Zuckerberg’s transformation from a nerdy tech mogul to a ripped and athletic fighter.
The photos captured the trio posing together while showing evidence of the intense training regimen.
