Speaking to the media ahead of UFC 290, the former welterweight and middleweight champion described their training session, stating:
"It was a lot of fun. He's very strong, physically very strong. Much stronger than the average man. Very tough. I didn't know that in the beginning, he has a judo background. It was an amazing experience. He's someone that I have admired for years because of what he has done, his accomplishments and for all the ideas that he stands for and for me it was a dream come true to meet him in person."

While Musk and Zuckerberg teased a mixed martial arts fight between one another, nothing has come to fruition aside from Georges St-Pierre's training session with the Tesla CEO. It is unclear if the two business moguls will actually face off or if the back-and-forth banter was simply for fun.
Dana White believes that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will clash in the octagon
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg teasing a mixed martial arts bout led several fighters and even UFC President Dana White to look to get involved in the potential bout. The promotional frontman recently shared that he has spoken to both businessmen looking to promote the bout, stating:
"I was talking to both Elon and Mark last night. Both guys are absolutely dead serious about this. They both want to do it... This would be the biggest fight ever, in the history of the world. Bigger than anything that's ever been done. It would break all pay-per-view records. These guys would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity. You don't have to be a fight fan to be interested in this fight. Everybody would want to see it."
