In a joint post on Instagram on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg and Israel Adesanya shared images of themselves alongside Alexander Volkanovski, UFC featherweight champion, in the gymnasium.
In the pictures, the trio are bare-chested and geared for a contest, with Zuckerberg looking sweat-drenched.
The post was captioned: “No Fugazi with Mark. This is serious business!”
In the comment section, the Meta CEO said, “It was an honour to train with you guys!”
The development comes amid a constant teaser of a potential mixed martial art (MMA) bout between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla Inc.
In June, Musk had jokingly challenged Zuckerberg to a “cage match” — a proposed contest to which the Meta CEO replied, “send me location.”
The feud between the two billionaires took a new twist a few weeks later when Zuckerberg launched Threads, a new text-based social media platform to rival Musk’s Twitter.
The launch came days after Musk announced that a temporary limit had been imposed on the number of posts users can read daily on Twitter.
In response, Twitter threatened Zuckerberg with a lawsuit over “the unlawful misappropriation” of its trade secrets.
