"UFC President Confirms Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg's Serious Intentions for a Fight"


The initial exchange of playful remarks between Meta (formerly Facebook) and Twitter regarding their respective platforms has now escalated into a potential Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event.


UFC president Dana White revealed that he had extensive conversations with both Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, stating that both individuals are genuinely committed to the idea of a fight.


The discussion began on Tuesday when Musk expressed his willingness to participate in a cage match against Zuckerberg, who has been actively practicing jiu-jitsu. Zuckerberg responded on his own platform, eagerly accepting the challenge and requesting the fight's location.


While several third-party observers have shown interest in facilitating the match, the UFC seems like a natural choice to host the Battle of the Billionaires due to its expertise in MMA-style events.


Musk broached the topic of an MMA-style fight on Thursday, which aligns with the UFC's specialization.


According to White, Zuckerberg was the first among the tech titans to inquire about Musk's sincerity. White relayed the question to Musk, who confirmed his unwavering commitment to the fight. White emphasized that both men possess the determination to put up a formidable fight, citing Zuckerberg's well-known training regimen and Musk's personal history of involvement in fights during his upbringing in South Africa.


Several hypothetical betting lines have already emerged, with the fight being considered a closely contested event.


From a promotional standpoint, White sees himself as the ultimate beneficiary, believing that this fight would surpass all previous records and become the largest fight in history. He expressed confidence that it would break pay-per-view records and generate hundreds of millions of dollars for charitable causes.


As of now, there has been no immediate response from the UFC, Zuckerberg, or Musk regarding Insider's request for comment.
