At the age of 51, if you are thinking about stepping inside an MMA cage to fight for the first time in your life, having Georges St-Pierre as a coach is an excellent choice.
Elon Musk seems to have realized this as he accepted the UFC Hall of Famer’s offer to train him for a proposed fight with Mark Zuckerberg.
UFC president Dana White is seriously considering hosting this fight inside the octagon. St-Pierre is one of the many UFC fighters who have offered to train the tech titans.
GSP tweeted to Musk, “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.
Musk replied, “OK, let’s do it.
If this mega fight actually happens and they train together, Musk will be in good hands with St-Pierre. St-Pierre is widely considered the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, having won two UFC division championships in his career.
The potential fight between Musk and Zuckerberg came into existence after Zuckerberg accepted Musk’s challenge during a social media spat. While it seemed like nothing more than internet tough-guy talk, White said the next day that both men were “dead serious” about meeting inside the cage and that he welcomed building a UFC pay-per-view event around a headliner of Musk vs. Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg, who has a background in jiu-jitsu (white belt who has already conpeted), has yet to publicly accept any offers to train, including from current UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones
