Quoted: I think some people are placing too much emphasis of Zuckerberg's fighting skills. Let's think this through logically. If a fight were to really be scheduled, it would have to be many months out due to the administrative stuff that would need to happen to make it possible. Elon would have a decent amount of time to not only get in shape but also train to fight. Several prominent conservative fighters have publicly reached out and said they would help. I'm sure more would be available if it was confirmed. No doubt Zuckerberg would also have great people training him but if Elon even gets semi decent in MMA style fighting, he has a great chance of winning. People seem to forget why weight classes exist. Sure, if you are smaller and are really good, you can beat untrained guys who are larger (up to a point). But I highly doubt Musk would go into this without any training. He would lose weight but also gain muscle. Size does matter in fighting. Anyone stating otherwise has little to no experience. I say all this as someone on the smaller side. I remember when I did wrestling in high school. I was in the 119/125 weight categories. I tried sparring with someone in the heavyweight category (around 240). Despite me having much better technique, the weight and size difference was too much. Granted, these two are currently about 50 lbs different in weight, which would change once they train but the point still stands. You can't compare sparring in BJJ though with a real fight. BJJ is just one fighting discipline. If musk got decent at striking for example, Zuckerberg would struggle due to the size and reach advantage Musk has naturally. View Quote Much like the whole Alex Baldwin thing, people are letting their emotions about people they dislike, blind them to reality. As I already mentioned: 1) 40-50lbs of FAT doesn't give much of a physical advantage. 2) if you were present in a room with 2 guys arguing, and the fat guy yells, "Fight me motherfucker!", and the 2nd guy replies, "Just name a time, and place", and the fat guy goes, "Uhhh...wait... ummm... how about 12 months from now? Yeah. 12 months... Gimme some time to train and I'll destroy you!", what would your reaction be? I know I'd be laughing my ass off at the fatass for being a blustering loudmouth. 3) you think the guy with THIS kind of coordination is magically gonna turn into a badass fighter in a few months? Elon Musk shows off bizarre dance moves at Tesla event in China If he at least demonstrated the coordination that RDJ or even Sam Rockwell did in Iron Man 2, I might consider the possibility that a few months of training could help. |

View Quote Lex Fridman is a black belt in BJJ. This is a training session with Zuck: Mark Zuckerberg vs Lex Fridman in Jiu Jitsu Maybe I just don't know shit about BJJ, but I don't see anything there that indicates Zuckerberg would win against Elon. My guess is Musk would go HAM while Mark lacks aggressiveness and the speed, surprise, and violence of action would win the day. I'm still sure the fight will never happen but my money is on Elon. |

Twitter Vs FB?
The Z trains and has actually done fighting. He even disguised himself so as to avoid being noticed just to fight. I hate to say it. Though Id want musk to win Im afraid its Z for the win. |

Quoted: Im a newish blue belt. I can manhandle friends who are 4" taller and out weight me significantly. BJJ is a cheat code to fighting untrained people. View Quote Anyone can spend two weeks learning how to defend takedowns, especially if they're much bigger than you. Laying on your back with your legs in the air, butt scooting, etc are all very good ways to end up getting your ass kicked by anyone with even a little training. BJJ is awesome but it can also lock you into a BJJ-Dojo mindset. |

I hope to not see either or both of two things:
1. It won't be a real fight. They'll be decked out like hockey goalies and just wrestle like a couple of schoolboys playing the living room floor. No broken noses, no fat lips, no blood on the canvas. 2. About 30 seconds into it, Zuck will get Musk in a submission hold (armbar, rear naked choke, etc.), and Musk will tap out. Then Zuck (and the media) will go around bragging about how he "beat" Musk in a "fight" when he really didn't do crap. Oh, please, please, please, no matter who wins, don't let this happen. |

Regardless of who wins it doesn't impact me. They'll both be very well off and have zero impact on my life and apparentyly they think it does.
