A potential cage fight between Twitter CEO Elon Musk and META CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the last thing that people expected. The news of the battle between tech giants has taken the world by storm. Chances of a potential fight between the two are increasing every day and many want to be part of this event. Several fighters have decided to offer their services to Elon Musk and prepare him for the upcoming bout. Veteran MMA fighter Jake Shields has also joined the list.

The whole scenario began after news of an app to rival Twitter was announced by META. According to META’s CPO, the company is working on developing THREADS that will act as an alternative to Twitter. The CPO also suggested that their platform will be more sane as compared to Twitter since its purchase by Elon Musk. After receiving the news, Musk took shots at META CEO Mark Zuckerberg. However, a user suggested Elon be aware of Zuckerberg due to his Jiu-Jitsu. Musk immediately suggested a way to settle things by taking the feud inside the cage.

The news of Elon’s willingness to fight Zuckerberg caused a stir on Twitter. However, the internet absolutely lost it when Mark Zuckerberg channeled his inner Khabib and accepted Elon’s challenge. Mark Zuckerberg has been practicing Jiu-Jitsu for over a year and has also been working on his MMA skills.

Amid this, a controversial Kickboxer offered to train Elon for his bout due to his grudge against META. Veteran MMA fighter Jake Shields also approached Elon with the same proposition for his fight.

The news of the battle between tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has taken the internet by storm. After receiving confirmation from Mark Zuckerberg, both CEOs have talked and are serious about their cage fight. Mark Zuckerberg has been involved in mixed martial arts even since Covid. Zuckerberg religiously practices Jiu-Jitsu and also won a gold medal in a BJJ competition.

Although Elon Musk claims to have trained in mixed martial arts during his childhood, he might not be training as frequently as Mark does. This is why MMA veteran and former UFC fighter Jake Shields wants to help with Elon’s training. Although Shields is a controversial character, he has fought some of the biggest names in the UFC.

He trained alongside UFC legend Nate Diaz and has won championship titles in several other MMA organizations. Elon’s callout to Zuckerberg was followed by Shield’s praising the Twitter CEO for putting everything on the line despite his tremendous wealth.

After both billionaires agreed to the fight, Shields took to Twitter and put his name forward to train Elon. “If you need help training ill fly out to Austin,” tweeted Shields. His tweet was also followed by Andrew Tate‘s brother Tristan Tate, who suggested he would be there as well. Given the META CEO’s recent improvements in MMA, Elon would need all the help he can get.
