Chris Weidman says he’s all in on Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg, offers to train Musk
In the world of combat sports, billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been all the talk of a potential fight between the two. Speculation continued on last weekend when UFC President Dana White posted a video wearing a ‘Musk vs Zuckerberg’ UFC branded t-shirt, and responding to critics who called the fight a “gimmick” between them. A0s the conversations continue, so do the opinions of professionals, like Georges St-Pierre. The former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion offered his services to train Musk and now, he’s being joined by another former champion, Chris Weidman.
During this week’s episode of ‘Won’t Back Down Radio‘ on Sirius XM, Chris Weidman said he is “all in” on the fight between Musk and Zuckerberg, and went as far as to offer his training services if needed.

“I gotta be honest, I would love to see this fight go down. But I’m a big Elon Musk fan, so I would hate to see him lose to Zuckerberg, so anything I can do to help him out, I’m in, anything at all. Apparently Jon Jones had offered to train Zuckerberg, GSP had offered to train Elon, you can throw me on Elon Musk training bandwagon as well, I’m all in, because I got to see this guy win.
Listen, I’m all in on it, I think it’s fun, I think it brings more eyeballs to the UFC, more eyeballs to mixed martial arts, and it just makes our sport bigger and better, so I’m down.”
There’s no word as to just how serious the two powerful billionaires are about a potential fight, but it’s clear that several UFC superstars are ready to get involved with the training aspect, and Dana White is ready to give them the stage.
As for Chris Weidman himself, he will be returning to action for the first time in over two years when he faces Brad Tavares at UFC 292 in August.
