Having GSP in his corner makes a lot of sense. Zuck likely has the edge on the ground, if Elon is gonna beat the odds he needs to be standing and use his longer reach and more experience with striking. GSP should be great to teach him takedown defence. Wonder if this will be a longer collaboration where GSP drops everything to go coach Elon. It would be one of the biggest fights ever with $100M+ PPV so maybe GSP would do that.

Elon without a significant other is worst Elon.

I remind you, as an example, that when he was with Talulah he went wing walking. I remember several people having a conniption fit about that.
He’s living life to the fullest and as determined an individual as he is, I wouldn’t bet against him. This isn’t a fight to the death. So maybe he gets some teeth knocked out, or a sprained ankle. Maybe his tweeting fingers get broken; that’ll make you happy, huh?
I love how you find the silver lining in everything: I'm sold!
When he was with Grimes he tried to take Tesla private at $420 a share. Far more dangerous.I remind you, as an example, that when he was with Talulah he went wing walking. I remember several people having a conniption fit about that.

Regarding the mma fight with Zuck. Actually, net, this fight is a plus. Elon absolutely needed a reason to get into shape because he’s got fifty million other things pulling him in different directions. So this fight gives him a much needed occasional brain downtime/distraction as well as improving his heart health (otherwise, he’s a walking heart attack time bomb). And the fight itself, at worse, will give him some facial bruises, bloody lip, maybe some other bruises. He isn’t fighting an actual trained MMA fighter, remember, he’s fighting another amateur that also happens to be appreciably smaller than himself. Hardly something to worry about.
Also this fight will once again skyrocket his personal and Tesla brands to the moon and beyond.
If he cared about winning yes. I think both of them really like MMA and want to do something nice for the sport and also challenge themselves. Zuck has decent strikes and kicks:

Dangerous for who? That tweet saved Tesla from a hostile takeover.

More like a no win situation. He has a significant size advantage, they would never fight in the same class in sanctioned MMA matches, so if he wins there's a caveat and if he loses it looks much worse.

He's certainly got better moves than I was expecting, and after seeing Elon's dancing skills Zuck should be able to out outmaneuver him both standing and on the ground, but the size difference is significant and as I said in the main thread they'd never be in the same weight class in a real match.
I envy your optimism.
We have a (great) Tesla CEO that his worn thin by being also the CEO of SpaceX, owner of Twitter + Neuralink and BoringCo, + father of 10, + social media influencer, etc.
I don't know what other distraction does he need tbh.
His biographer said recently on record that context switching does not do him any good, and Elon did say that himself (jokingly, as he does):
Train is one thing, train for the most viewed fight in history is another, and I fail to see how this will "improve" his focus on Tesla problems. Anyway, nothing I can do about it but vent, and I'll stop it now.

You realize that'd make him losing to "that facebook nerd" a lot worse, right?
Not if he get's his ass kicked.
Zuck is Ju Jitsu trained, Elon has a bad back /slipped disc?due to a sumo wrestling match. Fighting a ju-jitsu black belt with no training ....(odds are worse than Khabib vs McGregor)
But ya I think this is a good goal to have as it will improve his health and fitness.
In the end, it will be fun&games and charity event, shouldn't impact Tesla in any way
When will Elon be done training ... in 2 weeks
when will the fight take place two weeks after the two weeks
