Mark Zuckerberg Trains With UFC Champions, Adesanya, Alexander
American business mandate and Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, was spotted
on Tuesday, training with UFC champions, Israel Adesanya and Alexander
Volkanovski.
The photo which was shared online adds fuel to rumours of a potential cage match with Twitter boss, Elon Musk.
These speculations started from friendly online exchanges several weeks
ago, but the recent launch of Zuckerberg’s Twitter-like app, Threads,
has increased tension between the two tech leaders.
Launched on July 5, 2023, Threads has quickly gathered over 100 million users globally.
However, Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, criticized the app, suggesting it achieved success by “cheating.”
“Competition is fine, cheating is not,” Musk tweeted on July 7, 2023, in response to a post about a potential lawsuit against Meta by Twitter.
As the online debate over Threads intensified, the playful idea of a cage fight between the two CEOs resurfaced.
The recent photos of both Zuckerberg and Musk training with MMA fighters only added to the anticipation.

guys!”
In response, Adesanya tweeted, “No Fugazi with Mark. This is Serious Business,” while Volkanovski added, “@zuck you’re a beast! Always great to catch up.”
Meanwhile, Musk seems to be preparing for the hypothetical showdown as
well. He was spotted training with UFC legend Georges St-Pierre on July
3, 2023.

Ásake’s much-anticipated homecoming concert may be heading into stormy waters as fans take to social media to criticise the staggering ₦300,000 ticket fee.
What was expected to be a triumphant Lagos return for the global Afrobeats star is now spiralling into an online revolt, with many longtime supporters accusing organisers of “pricing out the true fans.”
The sentiment has grown so intense that several fan pages are warning that the high-end pricing could dampen excitement around Ásake’s headline performance.
FlyTime Fest, known for premium concert experiences, has steadily increased its fees over the years, but this latest jump appears to have crossed a psychological line.
Fans have flooded social media with criticism over the ₦300,000 ticket price for Ásake’s Lagos homecoming. Many expressed disbelief and frustration, saying the cost is outrageous and out of reach for those who have supported him since his early street-pop days.
Users questioned the pricing compared to international shows, with some noting that fans abroad can secure seats for less than half the cost.
Social media reactions have been fierce, @Yemmmmie_: “So Nigerians are paying $200 just to stand and watch Asake, while people abroad get seats for under $100? Make it make sense. How do you overcharge the people who actually built the fanbase? It’s giving ‘exploit your own’ and everyone’s just supposed to smile about it?”
@_ayzo: “I really wanted to go for Asake’s show but 300k is too ridiculous.”
@_blondehoe: “Asake ticket prices are ridiculous. Not even Chris Brown, Summer Walker and Travis Scott were this expensive. I might need a Nigerian bf to buy me a ticket soon.”
@richtosho: “Asake concert standing ticket is 300k, Rema 250k, Davido 250k, in a country of particular concern… but they will sell tickets in US for less than $100 ~150k and you might even see Chris Brown and Billie Eilish + 10 other artists… imagine?”
