It will not be a tag-team match, though. It is just a Mr. Miyagi-Daniel LaRusso kind of relationship.

George St. Pierre has decided to dip his hand in a planned fight between two of the wealthiest persons in the world - Elon Musk of SpaceX and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook.

The three-time former UFC Welterweight Champion said he wants to train Musk, just a day after another MMA legend, Jon Jones, took the side of Zuckerberg.

Jones tweeted that he would be there if ever the Facebook boss wants a training partner.

The planned Musk-Zuckerberg match started after the former replied to one Twitter user who asked him to be careful with his comments since the latter knows jiu-jitsu.

The warning came after Musk commented on another post about Facebook's plan to launch a Twitter rival feature called "Thread." Musk said he is up for a cage match.

Zuckerberg came across the cage match challenge and said "Send Location" on his Instagram story.

Musk's mother wants the match called off

While UFC president Dana White is excited about having the two billionaires face off inside the octagon, it looks like it will not happen.

Musk's mother, Maye, said she had already called off the MMA fight and said the two should instead do a comedy face-off.

"No joking," Maye Musk wrote on Twitter.

"Fight with words only. In armchairs. 4 feet apart. The funniest person wins."
