Joe Rogan has offered to help train SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk for the billionaire’s proposed single combat against Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Musk, recognized by many as the wealthiest man in the world, challenged the Russian leader to fight on Twitter in early March, saying that the “stakes are Ukraine.”
Now, Rogan, a UFC commentator and podcast host, appears to want in on the action.
I hereby challenge

“I offered my services. I texted him. I said, ‘Dude, I will arrange all your training.’ I go, ‘If you really do fight Putin, I will arrange all your training,'” the 54-year-old said on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience last week.

Rogan, an experienced mixed martial artist and a black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu, noted how Musk claimed to have thrown a sumo wrestler.
Yeah, I did manage to throw the world champion sumo wrestler, but at the cost of smashing a disc in my neck that caused me insane back pain for 7 years!

“Managed to throw him, but it cost me smashing my c5-c6 disc & 8 years of mega back pain!” the billionaire tweeted, according to a report.
Musk posted a picture of him and the sumo wrestler.

“According to him, he had some match with a world champion sumo wrestler back in the day for fun, and he f***ed his neck up, like, throwing this guy outside of the ring,” Rogan said. “But he actually defeated some world champion sumo wrestler.”
Rogan added, “Elon Musk is a strange character because, first of all, he’s a very big man. He’s not small. Putin is smaller than me. Elon is quite a bit bigger than me. Elon is probably 6-foot-2 and he’s big. He’s a big guy.”
Whether Musk will take Rogan up on his offer is unconfirmed.
He already turned down advice that he should train with Chechen special forces, the report noted.
“Thank you for the offer, but such excellent training would give me too much of an advantage. If he is afraid to fight, I will agree to use only my left hand and I am not even left-handed,” Musk tweeted in response.
So how do Musk and Putin match up?
Putin, 69, is a former operative of the KGB with unknown wealth, has a black belt in Judo, is trained in karate and sambo wrestling, and has decades of experience in the Russian armed services.
