    We nearly had musk v Elon in mma. It's so unfair. I despise them both but I'd love watching the lizard man beat the crap out of him in the ring.

          I know in my heart that Zuck would have won that fight and it wouldn't have been close. If you look at his competition footage and his stuff with Lex Friedman you'll see him kind of fumbling around, but he's within the 1 standard deviation of a white belt. (Looking back on them with my last year of progress, I see the INSANE foot sweeps he could have hit if he knew they were there). He doesn't get flustered when the rubber meets the road and he is able to execute a game plan. He can do SOMETHING which is more than enough to stop Dr. Eggman.

          I think he low diffs if not no diffs

                  So Zuck practices/practiced BJJ. I have a brown belt in BJJ and with experience coaching competitors and classes, so I feel qualified to analyze white belts. You can see some competition footage of him as well as a roll with Lex Friedman who, say what you will about him, is a BJJ black belt[1][2]. In his no gi competition he gets some real resistance even in the stand up right at the very beginning. Then you see him defend submission attempts and, though sloppy, he manages to figure out how to pass the guard. If you combine that with his footage with Lex Friedman, you can see him doing honest to god BJJ. This is significant because there are celebrities who will train BJJ who don't get "real" looking BJJ - which is to say that it looks as if their practice does not include resistance[3]. Distilling its history as distinct from Judo, BJJ, the collection of martial techniques, prides itself on the effectiveness of its techniques against resisting opponents, so "unreal" BJJ is the subject of ire. Celebrities will often times get private lessons (with prestigious coaches) so they don't risk getting injured by the general public and putting some movie shoot, and all the employees working on it, on delay. So it's cool when Lex Friedman puts Zuck in real dilemmas and you see Zuck think through it with techniques that make you go leo-point .

                  Musk, on the other hand, name drops a bunch of different martial arts he tried as a child[4]. It arouses my ire even before you give them the 9999 billionaire hate-coefficient. It's like your uncle who used to bench 4 plates. It's the kind of thing I grin and walk away from IRL. This man would have pointed to his competition experience if he had any. He is 51 years old and wears it. Not like it's a problem until he's walking around telling people you'd beat a practicing martial artist in martial arts. Steven Hawking's oil paintings wouldn't be subject to harsh critique unless he goes around bashing the cis teens who painted the chapel.

                  To round it all out: Zuck wouldn't have had to take an asprin after taking melon-musk off balance and climbing on top of him on the floor. There's always a market for "the striker vs the grappler" fights. But in those kinds of fights the data bares out that the grappler has the edge. In the UFC, the most prestigious league, a base of wrestling makes more champions than any other base (they, however, must be great in every dimension to be the best anymore). So even given Musk has an equivalent amount of experience in kyokushin, the most MMA relevant art he listed, and comparable athleticism then he's still at a disadvantage. But in every way he's not a real rival for Zuck's white belt BJJ. It's smoke and mirrors. Zuck might as well bring a dog collar into the ring and try and put it around Musk's neck. He should bring a book in case he gets bored fighting Musk.

                    Im pretty good at BJs myself as well actuallly 💅 lmao

                    Okay so I think I followed 🥰

                    So Zuck is actually really good at grappling and it's not just for show to the point people trained and well read can be like holy shit leo-point

                    Musk is a lying hack who lists a load of stuff he did as a middle age crisis or as a kid and thinks being tall, big and pretending he can throw a bunch will somehow rival actual skill and technique someone seriously nurtured.

                    That it?

                      I wouldn't go so far as to say he's good. When it comes to white belts, you don't exactly bring your A-game against them. You have to play around with them, try your silliest moves, and control the pace. If you watch Lex fight him, you might see that Zuck can only work techniques because Lex gives him some space to try. The thing is that Zuck is showing the kind of competency you can expect of a white belt in general. He's not fighting like a celebrity, he's part of the crew, part of the ship. And I think you can expect a BJJ practitioner, in general, to beat the divorced as a state of mind Elon Musk in a 1 on 1.

                      Besides that, yeah, you're exactly right. At the end of the day, grappling, while being very human and ubiquitous with every culture ever, is very funny. If you want to watch a really funny fight (or at least the theatrics around it), might I suggest Craig Jones vs Gabi Garcia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HID-Xi8hOUw). It's only kind of problematic because Craig's whole mission was to get women athletes paid.

                Isn't there a scene in the marky mark dinosaur transforms where this dude over 18 has a minor gf and whips out some card that says its legally okay for them to date or something nuts like that? Not a serious and healthy folk franchise. catgirl-disgust

                        Mirrors are sexist and they will be required to self crit under my new regime and only present flattering and fair reflections back. This will make up some of their crimes.
