Deiveson Figueiredo wants to be the one to coach Mark Zuckerberg.
Get in line, Figueiredo… plenty of UFC stars have been campaigning for this unique opportunity after the Facebook founder and Tesla CEO Elon Musk verbally agreed to fight earlier this month. Even UFC boss Dana White desires to be part of this, as a promoter for the potential super-fight.
‘The God Of War’ Wants To Help Zuck Prepare For War
Former UFC Flyweight Champion Figueiredo is the latest fighter to throw his name in the hat to train Zuckerberg, leaking his DM’s with the social media innovator.
“Zuck counts on me to prepare for this challenge,” Figueiredo wrote on Twitter. “The marajoara fight will help you, I’ll make you sharp to reset that rocket that back @elonmusk tell me the place and time and I’ll be there.”

Team Zuck
Of course, Figueiredo isn’t the only champion to offer his services to train Zuckerberg. Jon Jones and Henry Cejudo have also extended their help to Zuckerberg amidst the lead-up to a fight that might never even happen.
Zuckerberg has yet to officially accept any of these offers, but in the meantime the Facebook founder has been seen training with PFL fighter Khai Wu as well as BJJ star Mikey Musumeci.
Team Musk
Elon Musk has also received a plethora of training offers from Georges St-Pierre, Dominick Cruz, Andrew Tate and others. Musk has since agreed to train with GSP.
