Musk vs. Zuck? No thanks!
So the internet is awash with rumors that Elon Musk has challenged Mark Zuckerberg to an MMA fight and from the Tweet battle that is taking place - in a friendly way, mind you - it appears as though Zuck is down for a fight with Elon should they both actually want it.
There's a lot of people that are talking about how much they would love to see this but honestly guys, have you ever seen two people who don't really know how to fight try to do so in some sort of fanfare event?

According to various sources, one of them being Dana White of UFC, both of these guys actually do train in MMA but to what degree we can't really know since both of them kind of try to keep their lives as personal as possible. Just because you train in a martial art doesn't mean that you are prepared for an octagon cage fight though. I know a bunch of people that have trained in various martial arts in a half-assed sense that when they got into an actual fight, it was kind of embarrassing to watch. I was very dedicated to kickboxing and kung fu when I was in my late teens and early 20's. I ended up doing 3 sanctioned semi-legal fights in front of a crowd and even I will admit that the competitors, including myself, were pretty sloppy in our tactics.

I'm reminded of the Celebrity Boxing matches that have taken place over the years and just how terrible almost all of those fights were. They were difficult to watch at points because it became very clear that none of these people actually know how to fight. Hell, even when Jake Paul first started out it was hard to watch because there is a certain amount of skill that can only come from people who train full or near full-time.

Vanilla Ice vs. Willis (Todd Bridges) was even more cringe. The guys had a little bit of time to train and well, that just isn't long enough not to mention that the cardio of someone that does something else for a living, such as being a CEO of a social-media company, isn't good enough to keep up the pace of an exciting fight.
How about someone like Kimbo Slice (RIP) and how he was a street-fighting legend but got absolutely dismantled once he was presented with actual fighting against actual fighters. His cardio was garbage as well and especially towards the end of his ill-fated professional fighting career, this became extremely apparent.
So while I think the hype is fine and the memes are even better, I honestly hope that this Zuck vs. Musk fight doesn't ever happen. You might think it would be amazing to see these two slug it out but it almost certainly would be boring AF. It also wouldn't do either one of these guys any favors to be seen in public with their shirts off.
Musk vs cuckerberg would be the height of cringe. Two people who barely resemble actual humans. Gross.
Hahaha. Ah man, great post! These two clowns are part of the swarm that want to keep us entertained so the collective can pull off their shenanigans. Even if the fight does happen, everyone should boycott it as a way of telling them that we know what they are up to 😆

sadly I think people are really stupid enough that they would line up to see it even though it is guaranteed it is going to suck.
I have seen conflicting updates about this with one of them being the fight is "definitely going to happen" and the other saying "Elon's Mom said he is not allowed." Oh well, at least the comedy will be good regardless.
I don't see it happening as they have nothing to prove even though they have big ego's. The celebrity fights as you rightly say are always cringe as there is no skill and no stamina due to having no cardio.
The amount of cardio required to be involved in 2-3 minutes of fighting or wrestling or whatever combat sport is involved is absolutely immense. I've never experienced anything as exhausting because even though something like football takes a lot of endurance, you generally speaking aren't getting punched in the head the entire time as well.
Almost everyone wants to get one step ahead of others, specially if the next door competitors are battling nail to claws to win. It wasnt a Zuck -Musk duo as they had their own arena's and worlds prior to Musk's purchasing Twitter's ownership and he entered the unqiue realm of social media.
What I think is, despite being the top billionaire's, neither of them bragged of having such assets, they paid least heed to them. But, true it is Meta is expanding and in the race of social media, Zuck would win, because thats congenital to him.
Ha ha, Mma fight would be a great pleasure really if that happens someday,at least it can be taken as a joke right away.
😄👍
I really can't imagine it would happen. Neither of them stands to gain anything by doing it. They already have enough clout although I would say that Zuck is probably more reviled just because he doesn't look like a person.
