The world is in for a thrilling spectacle as business magnates Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have expressed serious intentions of battling it out in a UFC Octagon. The idea sparked off from a playful Twitter exchange has now grown into a potential event that could shatter all prior records in combat sports history.
The Genesis of the Face-off
The fascinating discourse between the two tech giants began when Musk humorously suggested a cage match to Zuckerberg in response to the latter’s plans of launching a rival platform to Twitter. The Meta boss, a recent enthusiast of jiu-jitsu, was quick to respond, signifying his seriousness with a phrase well-known in the UFC world – “Send me location.”
Endorsement from UFC President
Dana White, President of UFC, confirmed that both Musk and Zuckerberg are ‘deadly serious’ about this unique face-off. He expressed his enthusiasm to promote this potential fight, stating that it would surpass all previous pay-per-view records.
“This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world, bigger than anything that’s ever been done,” White told TMZ.
The Role of Prominent UFC Champions
The scenario has also attracted the attention of UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre and former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz. Both have volunteered to train Musk for the epic showdown. On the other hand, Jon Jones, another acclaimed UFC fighter, has pledged his support for Team Zuckerberg.
” I’m a huge fan of yours, and it would be an absolute honor to help you and be your training partner for the challenge against Zuckerberg.”

On the other side, Jones tweeted, “Let me know if you need a training partner!” to Zuckerberg.
The Combat Capabilities of the Contestants
While the idea of two tech billionaires fighting in an octagon might seem surreal, it’s worth noting that both have some level of combat training. Zuckerberg has recently participated in jiu-jitsu competitions, while Musk has a background in martial arts and has had his share of fights during his youth in South Africa.
The Potential Impact on Pay-per-View
With the fight garnering global attention, Dana White suggested that the pay-per-view cost could rise to $100, significantly higher than the standard $80 for a UFC fight. He believes the event’s earnings could reach hundreds of millions of dollars, all of which would be donated to charity.
The Partnership with UFC
Zuckerberg’s venture into the UFC realm does not stop at his upcoming fight. He has partnered with UFC for a Metaverse project and has shown his interest in the organization by booking the entire UFC Vegas 61 event for his family.
