When word got out Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk could meet in an MMA cage, the internet went into a tailspin.
\nMany were sceptical about the skills either man possesses, but the META boss is getting a lot of high praise including that of ONE Championship standout Mikey Musumeci.
\nMusumeci is the organisation\u2019s reigning flyweight submission grappling world champion with an unblemished 5-0 record to add to his Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt and multiple world titles.
\nNot only that, he\u2019s been training with Zuckerberg, and when speaking to TMZ, only had good things to say about him.<\/p>\n

“I was pretty shocked,\u201d Musumeci said. \u201cHe\u2019s a grinder. He has that grind in him. The second I saw that I said, ‘Okay, he can be very good at MMA or jiu-jitsu’ because first of all, he has the highest IQ, but he’s also tough. And he’s a strong guy. He’s like, my size, you know, and he’s really strong for my size.”
\n\u2018Darth Rigatoni\u2019 was also impressed with how quickly Zuckerberg would grasp concepts and be able to put them into action – something which bodes well for his future development.
\n\u201cYou show him a movement one time, and he instantly knows it, hes that type of guy. He has so much potential,\u201d he said.\u201d
\nAnd while a potential battle against Musk may never materialise, Zuckerberg has indicated he would like to step into a cage and take on a pro. His training lengths have even gone as far as seeing him install a cage in his back garden. Musumeci is excited by the prospect of what might come next.
\n\u201cAnything he does is 100% – so if he\u2019s into MMA he\u2019s going to put a cage in his backyard. It is so interesting to see him improving and his progress – I am fascinated by it, it\u2019s like this crazy science experiment.\u201d
\nMusumeci next fights Japanese legend Shinya Aoki next at ONE Fight Night 15, starting at 3am Mecca time.
