Elon Musk agrees to train with UFC legend Georges St-Pierre before potential cage match with Mark Zuckerberg

Twitter's Elon Musk has found a new training partner ahead of his potential battle of the billionaire's cage match with Mark Zuckerberg. On Twitter Monday evening, Musk agreed to begin training with none other than UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre.

"Ok, let’s do it," Musk responded to the retired UFC superstar, who initially posted that he was a "huge fan" of Musk’s and said it would be an "absolute honor" to train him.

"I'm a huge fan of yours and it would be an absolute honor to help you and be your training partner for the challenge against Zuckerberg," tweeted GSP, who is widely regarded as one of the best UFC fighters of all time and one of the greatest fighters in mixed martial arts history.

St-Pierre (26-2-0), a French-Canadian fighter who held championships in two different UFC weight classes, last competed in the Octagon when he resoundingly defeated then-UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping in 2017. He came out of retirement for the match, defeated the champ and retired again, voluntarily vacating the title.

While retired, the UFC veteran regularly posts workout and training videos.

Musk, who owns also SpaceX, previously admitted to not regularly working out, although he tweeted Friday that he previously trained in "judo, Kyokushin (full contact) & no rules streetfighting."

What began as banter on Twitter between Musk, who owns and operates Twitter, and several users on the platform swiftly evolved into him issuing a challenge to fight in a cage match against Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, who owns Facebook and Instagram.

The Zuck later accepted the challenge, with UFC President Dana White later confirming the two billionaires were "absolutely dead serious" about a potential bout.

"They both said, 'Yeah, we'll do it.' They both want to do it," White told TMZ Sports.

White also speculated the celebrity contest could be the "biggest fight ever in the history of the world."

"This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world," the UFC president said." Bigger than anything that's ever been done. It would break all pay-per-view records. These guys would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity. You don't have to be a fighting fan to be interested in this fight. Everybody would want to see it."

He continued: "The biggest fight of all time was Floyd Mayweather and Conor [McGregor], I just think it triples that. I think it triples what that did. There's no limit on what that thing can make. … Everybody would watch it, everybody would want to see it."

The idea for a cage match stemmed from a report that Meta was working on a Twitter-like application that would be a direct competitor to the platform.

"I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options," Musk tweeted in response to the report.

He then said he was "up for a cage match if he [Zuckerberg] is."

The next day, Zuckerberg appeared to accept the challenge on his own platform, saying "Send Me Location" on Instagram.

"If this is for real, I will do it," Musk responded, suggesting the bout should take place in Las Vegas, inside a UFC Octagon.

During the former two-division champion's reign in the UFC, he primarily dominated the welterweight division with submissions and TKO victories over some of the best in the sport at the time. He also holds wins over Johny Hendricks, Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit, Jake Shields, Josh Koscheck, Dan Hardy, BJ Penn, Jon Fitch, Matt Serra and Matt Hughes.

He was inducted into the UFC's Hall of Fame Class of 2020. 

LSU beats Florida 18-4 to win College World Series despite losing previous game by 20 runs

The LSU Tigers won the College World Series championship after an 18-4 victory over the Florida Gators in Game 3 of the finals Monday night, claiming its first national title since 2009.

The victory came after Florida forced a third game with a record-setting 24-4 victory in Game 2. LSU gave up the most runs ever in a College World Series game in the contest.

The Tigers (54-17) bounced back from the lopsided score and staved off elimination three times during the tournament to claim its seventh championship. They hold the second-most titles behind Southern California’s 12.

LSU fell early in the contest with a 2-0 deficit but swiftly answered with a six-run second inning. The runs kept coming throughout the game, resulting in the 14-run margin – the largest ever in a CWS final.

Recording the most hits in a CWS game with an impressive 24, the Tigers also racked up the most runs in a title game since USC’s 21-14 win over Arizona State in 1998.

LSU’s Thatcher Hurd (8-3) allowed Wyatt Langford’s two-run homer in the first and then kept the Gators off the board, allowing no hits or runs while retiring 18 of the next 21 batters.

The Tigers’ Riley Cooper took over to start the seventh inning and gave up the Gators’ Ty Evans’ CWS-record fifth homer. Gavin Guidry finished the combined five-hitter.

The Tigers notably sat ace Paul Skenes in Omaha. He threw a combined 243 pitches over 15 2/3 innings in two spectacular appearances in the previous contests. He would have been working on three days’ rest.

Though his LSU teammates did not need his defense as they poured on the runs and Hatcher kept dealing. Skenes headed to the bullpen to do some stretching in the seventh inning, but ultimately to the dugout and stayed there until he and his teammates rushed the mound to celebrate their victory following a game-ending strike out by Guidry.

Skenes was named the Most Outstanding Player of the CWS.

Three key offseason transfers for LSU developed the CWS-winning roster, including Skenes who became the first college pitcher in 12 years with 200 strikeouts. He could be the No. 1 pick in the amateur draft.

Tommy White hit 24 homers and drove in a nation-leading 105 runs. Hurd was also solid as a starter and reliever, and matched his longest outing of the year in the title game.

The Tigers were the consensus No. 1 team in the polls from the preseason until the first week of May when Wake Forest overtook them. LSU finished the season well enough to be the No. 5 national seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The Tigers swept through regionals and super regionals in Baton Rouge, punching their ticket to Omaha for the first time since they were national runners-up six years ago.

The SEC has now won four straight national championships with LSU joining Mississippi, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.

Florida (also 54-17) won the SEC regular-season title, was the No. 2 national seed and set school records for wins and home runs, but the Gators were unable to carry over the momentum from their record-setting production Sunday to Monday night's matchup.
