Jon Jones, Royce Gracie Offer to Train Mark Zuckerberg & Elon Musk for Billionaire Super Fight
The ongoing Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg saga takes an even stranger turn as UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones and former UFC champion Royce Gracie have stepped forward to offer training to Zuckerberg and Musk, respectively.
"You already know I am Team [Zuckerberg].... Let me know if you need a training partner!" Jones announced on his Twitter on June 23.
"[Elon Musk], I will train you for the octagon or the mat." Gracie tagged UFC President Dana White in a Tweet on June 23.
To any staunch martial artist, an offer from either of these athletes would be the opportunity of a lifetime. Gracie is arguably the most well-known member of the Gracie family, responsible for pioneering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in MMA. The UFC hall of famer is a three time UFC tournament winner, and won the very first UFC tournament.

However, before anything else, it is crucial for Musk and Zuckerberg to demonstrate genuine commitment to the fight, as the current situation appears to be nothing more than a farce.
