"We were trying to get Tom Hardy versus Zuckerberg for CJI1. We did come close. We did come very close. I asked Tom though. I remember we're just in New York and I was like yo Tom if you come out of Faith Zuckerberg and as you touched hands he said remember I can read all your DMs. What happens in that match? since like I tap"

Craig Jones revealed he came close to organizing a grappling match between actor Tom Hardy and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for his inaugural CJI event. Jones structured the entire CJI 1 around attracting Zuckerberg, featuring his favorite grapplers including Mackenzie Dern. Both celebrities reportedly agreed in principle, though timing issues prevented it from materializing.
