We are about to witness one of the world-famous bouts in history with a highly anticipated fight expected to take place soon between the Facebook Meta owner and his opponent, the Twitter rival billionaire as both parties gear up in their preparations.
On Tuesday, the Meta boss posed for snaps with UFC Featherweight Champion, Volkanovski, and two-time UFC Middleweight champ’ Adesanya at a gym in Lake Tahoe, Nevada as they keep up their bromance.
A day after the post which was on Wednesday, Nigerian descent Adesanya posted a video of the trio spending time relaxing on the lake, with Zuckerberg casually wakeboarding off the back of a boat and the two UFC champions soaking up the sun.
Later, Adesanya also posted some photos of him and Zuckerberg training together alongside the caption: ‘We both have South Africans to deal with.’
Adesanya is referring to undefeated middleweight contender Dricus Du Plessis, who he will likely fight next, and Zuckerberg’s bitter tech rival Elon Musk.
Volkanovski’s agent confirmed that the Australian had been approached last week about training Zuckerberg ahead of his MMA fight against Musk who is an avid MMA fan and in recent years, he has developed a good friendship with Volkanovski.
It is still unknown if Zuckerberg will do much more training with Adesanya though he’s been offered to be coached by a wide range of elite UFC fighters including Jon Jones.
On the other hand, Musk has received similar offers from other high-profile mixed martial artists, such as Jorge Masvidal, Dominick Cruz, and Georges St-Pierre.
A confirmation and official date for the much-speculated bout between Musk and Zuckerberg have yet to be revealed.
