Ahead of the ‘cage match’ challenge between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, Lex Fridman had the opportunity to engage in an impromptu training session with Elon Musk, lasting for a few hours.

The research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) expressed great admiration for Musk's impressive physical attributes, highlighting his strength, power, and skill both in stand-up combat and on the ground. The experience left Fridman in awe, describing it as an epic encounter.

Witnessing both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg's dedication to martial arts is a source of inspiration for Fridman. However, Fridman believes that their contributions to the world would be better served if they focused on training in martial arts without engaging in actual cage fighting.

Nevertheless, Fridman acknowledges Musk's perspective that the most entertaining outcome tends to be the most likely one, expressing his unwavering support for both individuals regardless of their choices.

Earlier, a video capturing Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's training in the Brazilian martial art of Jiu Jitsu has gained significant attention, becoming viral. The footage was shared by Lex Fridman, who has been engaged in training sessions with the Facebook founder.

The buzz around their martial arts activities began when Elon Musk, in response to news of Meta's potential release of a Twitter rival called "Threads", made a remark about the world being exclusively controlled by Zuckerberg with no alternative options. In a lighthearted exchange, a Twitter user playfully alerted Musk to Zuckerberg's Jiu Jitsu training.

In response, Musk jokingly expressed his willingness to engage in a cage match if Zuckerberg was up for it. Surprisingly, Zuckerberg swiftly responded and seemed to accept Musk's challenge.

On a Wednesday night, Zuckerberg took to his Instagram story, sharing a screenshot of Musk's tweet alongside another user's comment urging the Twitter owner to commence his training and concluding with the words, “Send me location".
