"Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk take cage fighting seriously"
"Both are absolutely serious," UFC boss Dana White says
Dana White, head of the US mixed martial arts organization Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC), says Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are "very serious"
about facing each other in a cage fight.
According to Sky News, the bosses of Meta and Twitter took to their
respective social media platforms - Instagram and Twitter - earlier this week
to talk about their willingness to fight.
"The two have apparently since spoken to mixed martial arts boss Dana
White," the news agency said.
In coverage for TMZ Live, White said a fight between Zuckerberg and Musk
would top viewership at a boxing show between Floyd Mayweather and Colin
McGregor in 2017.
The much-discussed fight between Mayweather and McGregor drew an estimated
50 million viewers in the United States alone.
"There's no limit to what this thing can do," said White, who
also claimed to have spoken to tech billionaires recently.
"Both are absolutely serious."
The discussion surrounding their fight came after the 51-year-old Twitter
boss said he was "ready for a cage fight" if Zuckerberg was up for
it.
In response, the 39-year-old meta-boss posted a screenshot of Musk's tweet
to his Instagram Story and said, "Send me the location."
Musk then suggested that the game take place in the Vegas Octagon - an
octagonal fighting arena in Las Vegas
It's hard to say who could emerge victorious, but Zuckerberg trains with a
jiu-jitsu team, while Musk has previously admitted he rarely trains 'other than
picking up my kids and throwing them in the air'.
