Jorge Masvidal wants to train Elon Musk for a potential UFC fight against Mark Zuckerberg.
Tech titans Musk and Zuckerberg have agreed to an MMA fight in recent weeks and UFC boss Dana White has promised he will make the fight a reality. Several fighters such as Jon Jones and Georges St-Pierre have offered to help train Musk and Zuckerberg for the fight and former 'BMF' champion Masvidal is the latest fighter to offer his services.
"Elon, you need me on your team, brother! If you're watching this we all know you're a smart dude. You're going to want as many options, missiles, if you're going to war, right, you're going to want the snipers, you're going to want everything. Give your boy a shot, man! I can show you some techniques to deal with these jiu-jitsu guys that they don't like," Masvidal told TMZ.

"I'm not going to be teaching all this arm bar stuff. I'm just gonna show you some techniques to break someone's face. All of the amateur fights that I've got, all the street fights that I've got. Elon, you need me on your team, brother! That's who you need on your team."
The UFC has already begun selling custom t-shirts for $40 to promote the fight, which could take place in Rome's historic Colosseum. Both Musk and Zuckerberg spent 90 minutes on the phone with White to discuss the fight and they plan to donate all the money they earn from it to charity.
Masvidal added of Musk: "The reason why I love Elon so much, this dude's a patriot. He's just a dude that's for America, that understands how our rules work, and he's not even like naturally American. He understands how well this country works and what makes this country work, that's why I'm cheering for Elon."
White plans to sell the pay-per-view for $100 and he predicts the fight would generate over $1billion. Zuckerberg is a big fan of MMA and he took up Brazilian jiu-jitsu a few years ago, recently winning medals in his first grappling competition last month. Musk has admitted that he rarely exercises but does have combat sports experience as he used to train in judo, Kyokushin karate, and taekwondo in his youth.
