The spokesperson for Total Shape continued: ‘Zuckerberg is more about hiking and high endurance activities that naturally build a leaner body.
‘In contrast, Musk is more in favor of strength training and will have power in his corner. Therefore, when it comes down to who would win, it is agility vs strength.
‘Competitors with high levels of agility continue to make their way to the top of the sport time and time again. An example being Conor McGregor, whose speed and agility has become gold standard.
‘However, power in MMA is also a way of executing forceful movements rapidly, and is essential for successful striking and takedown attempts.
‘When it comes down the ideal body type and general endurance and skill for cage fighting, Mark Zuckerberg would have the upper hand.
‘With a high protein, health infused diet and demonstrative skills in mixed martial arts – he would most likely win.’
