The much-awaited battle of the billionaire bout between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has yet to be booked. Recently, Musk tweeted that the fight would proceed without the UFC and that he would like to have surgery and recover before fighting Zuckerberg. The Meta CEO, Zuckerberg, takes martial arts coaching seriously and does not like the approach of Musk. He went on Threads to criticize and issue a challenge to Musk.

Zuckerberg claimed that Musk remained casual about the potential fight and refused to accept any date. The Meta CEO pointed out the hypocritical nature of Musk. At first, Musk stated that he had to get surgery but now wanted to do a practice round in Zuckerberg’s backyard octagon. He indicated that he would move on to opponents that would take the fight seriously.

Elon Musk is known for his trolling nature, and Zuckerberg does not think the fight would happen. In recent months, the Meta CEO has started training with experienced MMA fighters to improve his skill set. He has a good relationship with fighters from the UFC and ONE Championship. Fans believe that Zuckerberg will have the advantage in a potential bout because he is significantly younger than his opponent.

On the other hand, Musk has claimed multiple times that he would have the advantage due to his weight advantage. He recently trained alongside MMA legend Georges St-Pierre, BJJ coach John Danaher, and podcaster Lex Fridman. Fridman and GSP remain confident in Musk securing a win after training with the billionaire. Only time will if whatever Zuckerberg claims turns out to be true.

Fans may have turned on Musk after postponing the fight. It does not look like it will happen this year. The most likely scenario could be the first quarter of 2024 if both parties can agree on a date. However, at the moment, it does not look like it will happen.
