(Las Vegas, NV) — Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are “dead” serious about fighting each other in a UFC Octagon.
UFC President Dana White said on TMZ Live that the CEOs talked with him earlier this week.
“I talked with Mark and Elon 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,” White said.
White says it would be the biggest fight in history.
“It would break all pay-per-view records. These guys would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity, and you don’t have to be a fight fan to be interested in this fight. Everyone would want to see it. The biggest fight of all time was Floyd and Conor, I just think it triples that — it triples what that did, there’s no limit on what that thing can make.”
The feud began on Twitter this week, when Musk replied to a tweet noting Zuckerberg was in the process of building a social media site similar to Twitter.
According to Zuckerberg, he has been fighting experience, saying he’s even partaken in jiu-jitsu competitions. While Musk seemingly has no background, he told White he’s been in “plenty of fights growing up in South Africa.”
So yes, this seems real. Two grown men, each worth billions, neither a professional fighter, are willing to fight each other in a cage.
