In one corner stands the executive chairman and CEO of Meta (Facebook), Mark Zuckerberg. In the other is Elon Musk, the top dog at Twitter, SpaceX, Tesla, and several other companies and corporations.
Both combatants are worth several billion dollars, but for some reason, the two are actually considering stepping into the ring or Octagon to see who can scrap better.
Online entertainment sportsbooks have been posting MMA odds for Mark Zuckerberg ever since photos of him practicing grappling techniques appeared online.
Musk has always been one of the options for a Zuckerberg opponent in these entertainment betting lines, but that was merely speculation based on Elon’s occupation and billionaire status.
Now, the beef is apparently stemming from Meta working on a rival to Twitter called Threads. A post regarding the development of Threads was responded to by Musk, and another user suggested that they step into the ring to settle their differences.
A few exchanges between Musk and Zuckerberg followed, and now here we are with a potential boxing or mixed-martial-arts cage fight in the works.
Dana White, President of UFC, has been in contact with both Zuckerberg and Musk, and they appear to be serious about a celebrity MMA event.
“I was talking to Elon and Mark last night. Both guys are absolutely dead serious about this… Because they both said, ‘Yeah, we’ll do it.’ They both want to do it. Mark Zuckerberg hit me up first and said, ‘Is he serious?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, let me ask [Musk].’ I asked him, and he said, ‘Yeah, I’m dead serious,”
UFC President Dana White
