Elon Musk has admitted that he still needs a lot more training after undergoing an exhausting training session with a UFC Hall of Famer and ex-world champion ahead of the battle of the billionaires with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
The Twitter and Tesla owner shared the update ahead of the mega-bout after undergoing further intense preparations.
The 52-year-old had a grueling session with UFC legend Georges St Pierre (GSP) after he had offered to train him for the fight.
Musk posed for a photo alongside GSP, popular American podcaster host and combat expert Lex Fridman, and martial arts instructor John Danaher ahead of a proposed meeting with Zuckerberg.
Fridman labelled the training session as ‘epic’ and posted the image of the four fight enthusiasts on his Twitter profile with the caption: ‘Had a great training session with Elon Musk, Georges St Pierre and John Danaher last night. Everything about this was epic!’
GSP then posted the same image that has been viewed over 2.8million times on Twitter and joked at the wealth of intelligence on display, stating: ‘Great training session with 3 men that I really admire. Combined IQ in this photo is 1000. « Not including me »’
Musk was keen to get in on the action taking place on his platform and gave a humorous insight into his lack of fighting pedigree as he gave an honest appraisal of his performance.
‘Really fun! The obvious conclusion is that I need a *lot* more training,’ he said in response to Fridman’s tweet.
