Elon Musk accepted the invitation to practice with the best MMA fighter in history
On the eve of the duel between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, Georges St-Pierre, a former UFC legend, attracted attention when he asked to be a coach for the Twitter boss.
"I'm a big fan of yours, Musk. It would be my honor if I could help you. Let me coach the match against Zuckerberg," Georges St-Pierre wrote on his page on June 25.
On June 27, billionaire Elon Musk replied briefly: "Okay, let's start". The Tesla CEO added that he also had a match with Lex Fridman, the famous Lex Fridman Podcast channel's owner and a black belt in Jiu-jitsu.
Georges St-Pierre is a former Canadian boxer who retired in 2017 with a victory over Michael Bisping. St-Pierre was a middleweight and welterweight champion.
In 2020, martial arts data site Tapology voted St-Pierre the best fighter in MMA history. In 28 fights, the 39-year-old former boxer won 26 times and successfully defended the title 9 times.
The "fight" of the billionaires began on the evening of June 20 when Elon Musk responded to a rumor on the social network Twitter that Meta Corporation, the parent company of Facebook, was about to announce Threads, the platform considered Twitter's rival.
The Twitter boss said that the launch of such a platform would leave the world "manipulated and controlled exclusively by Mark Zuckerberg". A Twitter account then joked with Musk that he should be careful because Zuckerberg knows Jiu-jitsu.
In response, Mr. Musk wrote: "I'm ready for a cage match with Zuckerberg if he accepts." After that, billionaire Zuckerberg immediately took a screenshot of the above tweet and posted it on the social network Instagram with the caption: "Send me the location".
Dana White, head of the company that organizes the Ultimate Fighting Championship, more commonly known as the UFC, has revealed that the hexagonal duel between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will break all records in revenue.
“This will be the biggest match in the history of the world in terms of size and revenue compared to any other fight. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will break all records for royalties per view," White said.
White said the record for the most expensive UFC single ticket ever is Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather's match of the century in 2017, bringing in more than $600 million in revenue for the company.
Currently, a standard UFC ticket costs $80. With the fight between two technology billionaires, the head of UFC is expected to raise the price to $ 100 per view.
