Mark Zuckerberg looks shredded in photo after training with UFC champions
Just one week after a photo of Twitter CEO Elon Musk and former UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre made the rounds via social media, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg one-upped him.
On Tuesday, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya posted a photo of himself, UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and an impressively shredded Zuckerberg after a training session with the two City Kickboxing standouts.
“It was an honor to train with you guys!” Zuckerberg commented on the post via Instagram.
Adesanya and Volkanovski are just two of the many UFC fighters (including heavyweight champion Jon Jones) who offered to help Zuckerberg train for a rumored mega-fight with Musk in the future. It appears the trip to Lake Tahoe wasn’t all business, however, as Adesanya’s Instagram story shows Zuckerberg wakeboarding while being pulled by a boat.
Conversely, Musk has had several training sessions with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt Lex Fridman, who tweeted the post-training session photo of himself, Musk, St. Pierre and renowned MMA instructor John Danaher, who’s coached several former champions including St. Pierre, Chris Weidman and Jake Shields.
“Really fun!” Musk tweeted in response to Fridman’s photo. “The obvious conclusion is that I need a *lot* more training.”
Former UFC welterweight title contender Jorge Masvidal has also offered to help train Musk for his showdown with Zuckerberg.
