‘How Crazy Is This?’ Zuckerberg Trainer ‘Not Sure’ About Cage-Match Success Against Musk

'He's a really nice guy,' Khai Wu responded when asked about the Meta CEO's chances

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's martial arts trainer is hedging his bets on his client's chances in a much talked-about "cage match" against Twitter owner Elon Musk.

Musk last week challenged his fellow social media titan to what initially seemed like a joke taunt.

But Zuckerberg fired back: "Send Me Location."

UFC President Dana White has insisted the billionaire pair are "absolutely dead serious" about fighting.

Zuckerberg's MMA (mixed martial arts) trainer Khai Wu was pressed by Forbes about his client's chances of beating Musk in an interview posted Sunday.

"Is he going to smash Elon Musk if they climb in a cage?" writer Brian Mazique asked.

"He's a really nice guy, to be honest with you," Wu responded — which doesn't sound like the most impressive assessment of strength and prowess for a cage match.

“My job is a trainer,” Wu mostly demurred.

“I just go and train. I can only speak on how hard he [Zuckerberg] works. He works really hard," Wu emphasized.

"I’m not sure how the fight will play out, so I don’t want to speculate, but I’m like you, I’m like: ‘How crazy is this?’” he added.
