Facebook co-owner Mark Zuckerberg recently revealed his ridiculous McDonald's order. The tech CEO has been going viral on social media because of his current fit physique, and the intense training he's been doing to achieve it.
Last June, Zuckerberg agreed to facing Twitter owner Elon Musk in cage match. Many people initially thought that they were joking around, but a spokesperson from Meta said that Zuckerberg seemed to be serious about the match. Shortly after, the Facebook owner started posting photos of his training session with UFC champs Alexander Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya, and that time he earned a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. However, there's still no confirmed date or place for the supposed cage match.
Zuckerberg also revealed that he had been bulking up and consuming 4,000 calories a day, fueling more speculations that the cage match was happening. He further proved this by revealing his outrageous McDonald's order on Threads. The official McDonald's Threads account recently asked its followers if they wanted to order anything, which Zuckerberg replied with 20 chicken nuggets, a quarter pounder, large fries, a McFlurry, apple pie, and extra cheeseburgers. The only thing missing would be a Pokemon card Happy Meal to go with the spread.
Many people were surprised by the Facebook owner's McDonald's order. Some joked that he should have a good cardiologist on standby because of the large calorie intake. UFC fighter Mike Davis also said Zuckerberg shouldn't be having McDonald's while in training, but he said he wasn't cutting weight and needs around 4,000 calories a day "to offset all the activity."
It's clear that Zuckerberg has been taking his fitness very seriously lately, despite concerns about his seemingly excessive calorie intake. Meanwhile, Musk doesn't seem to be sharing any of his fitness progress, and even tweeted that he "almost never" works out. So, it's still unclear to many people whether the fight would indeed happen in the near future, or they're just playing around on social media. But there are still those who want to watch Zuckerberg and Musk duke it out in the octagon ring, especially with the rise of influencer boxing matches.
Whether the cage match happens or not, gamers might start creating their own version of it once UFC 5 releases in the future. They could utilize the game's create-your-own-character feature or find a character mod for Zuckerberg and Musk that they could use in matches. There's already a case for WWE stars to appear in the upcoming UFC game, so EA might hinge on these tech giants' supposed match.
