“It would be an absolute honor to help you” - Georges St-Pierre steps up to train Elon Musk for potential MMA fight against Mark Zuckerberg
UFC legend Georges St-Pierre offered to train Twitter Chairman Elon Musk for a potential super-fight against Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Over the years, there has been plenty of massive fights in various combat sports. With that said, a recently proposed MMA bout could surpass the viewership of anything in the past. Earlier this week, Musk and Zuckerberg voiced interest in fighting each other, leading to widespread interest from millions of people.
The hypothetical blockbuster matchup took the next step when UFC president Dana White revealed that both billionaire business moguls were legitimately interested. If the fight were to happen, Musk and Zuckerberg would need high-level teams for their training camps.
Luckily for Musk, he already has a fighting legend who has offered their services as a training partner. Georges St-Pierre has this to say on Twitter:
“@elonmusk I'm a huge fan of yours and it would be an absolute honor to help you and be your training partner for the challenge against Zuckerberg”
Although Musk and Zuckerberg don’t have any in-ring experience, one of them would have a massive advantage if they fought. The Facebook co-founder consistently trains in BJJ and competed in several competitions.
@elonmusk I'm a huge fan of yours and it would be an absolute honor to help you and be your training partner for the challenge against Zuckerberg 👊😁
