This, I think, is also why I’m a bit disappointed in Musk. I hope he builds an anti-Superman suit next. Besides, a billionaire paying some of the world’s best grapplers to turn him into a fighting machine is so comic-book that, as a nerd, I’m honour-bound to respect it. That Zuckerberg is giving it a go, when he could probably just pay 100 bodyguards to follow him everywhere for the rest of his life, shows a humility and willingness to embrace the beginner mind that you have to admire, even if you’ve seen The Social Network. Though serious injuries in the sport are reasonably rare, you’re essentially daring random strangers to hyperextend your joints and squeeze your carotid arteries shut every time you have a match, and some of them are really, really good at it. Even if you’re hiring the best coaches in the world, you still have to do the work to get better, and there is (I’m assuming) no level of wealth that makes it feel better when another man grinds his shoulder into your face.Ī billionaire paying the world’s best grapplers to turn him into a fighting machine is so comic-book that I’ve got to respect itĬompeting is even scarier. As a two-decade BJJ bro with a handful of amateur MMA fights under my own (black) belt, I know how difficult that is. On the surface, this story probably reflects better on Zuck than Musk: the former, after all, actually practises mixed martial arts (MMA), and recently competed in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament where he won a brace of medals. Did I mention that it’s really hot outside?Īnyway. The only thing you really need to understand about this affair is that two men who shouldn’t have GSOH anywhere near their potential dating profile tried to make some funnies, and everyone else joined in the battle royale for attention. In case you missed this story, Zuckerberg’s company, Meta, recently released plans for a Twitter-like app Musk responded to tweets about it by saying that he was “up for a cage fight” with the Facebook founder Zuck shot back with a meme that only Ultimate Fighting Championship fans will actually get and the world continues to turn/get hotter. Are Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg going to have a cage fight? Of course they aren’t.
