Is Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg happening in Dana White’s UFC Apex?

What started as a funny callout is on its way to becoming possibly the biggest PPV event of this year. The battle between two tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, is starting to gain momentum. Both tech CEOs are reportedly very serious about this fight and have also contacted UFC President Dana White.

META CEO Mark Zuckerberg has started taking mixed martial arts seriously since Covid. Zuckerberg is a huge fan of mixed martial arts and has been religiously training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over a year. He won a gold medal in a BJJ tournament and recently sparred with BJJ legend Mikey Musumeci.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk claims that he dabbled in different forms of martial arts since he was a kid. Like Zuckerberg, the Tesla CEO is also a fan of mixed martial arts and had also called out Russian President Vladimir Putin to a fight. Elon has several MMA veterans ready to train him for the fight.

Why do tech billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk want to fight each other

The battle between tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is slowly starting to materialize itself. The fight originally started with META CPO announcing an app that would rival Elon Musk’s Twitter. ‘THREADS’ the app in question would rival Twitter and also be a ‘sane’ space according to the CPO. After the announcement, Elon Musk took to Twitter and took shots at the META CEO. “I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options. At least it will be “sane.” Was worried for a moment there,” tweeted Elon.

A Twitter user warned Elon that he should be aware of Mark Zuckerberg as the META CEO has been practising Jiu Jitsu. However, this did not scare Elon one bit and suggested settling things inside the cage. “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” tweeted Musk. Elon Musk had previously called out Russian President Vladimir Putin for a fight, but it failed to materialize. However, this time around, Mark Zuckerberg replied to Elon’s callout.

Zuckerberg channeled his inner Khabib Nurmagomedov and posted “Send me location,“ in response to Elon’s callout. Elon quickly decided on Vegas as the potential venue. Both tech giants also contacted UFC president Dana White for the cage match and White was happy to oblige.

Controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate ready to train Elon Musk for the Mark Zuckerberg fight

After Elon Musk’s callout to fight Mark Zuckerberg in the cage, several MMA fighters put forward their names to train The Tesla CEO. Controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate was also one of them. Andrew Tate has been a huge fan of Elon Musk after the Twitter CEO unbanned his Twitter account. Andrew Tate has been removed from a good amount of social media platforms. He has a personal grudge against Mark Zuckerberg for banning his accounts on Instagram and Facebook and wants to make sure that Elon wins at all costs.

Tate took to Twitter and posted a tweet in support of the Tesla CEO. “Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines. But now we have a chance to restore honor by attacking the leader of the opposing clan. I will train you, Elon Musk. You will not lose,” tweeted Andrew Tate. Apart from Andrew Tate, UFC veteran Jake Shields also suggested that he could offer his services and help Elon prep for the upcoming fight.

UFC color commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan previously suggested he would train Elon for a fight with the Russian President. While the podcast host seems to be silent this time, Elon Musk has a part for Joe Rogan. After calling out Zuckerberg, a user suggested Joe Rogan become the official referee of the bout. Elon Musk loved the idea and reacted to it. While fans would love Rogan to be the referee, he would most probably stick to his domain and have a fun time commentating.

Will the Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg fight take place at Dana White’s UFC Apex facility?

After the news of the battle between the tech giants took the internet by storm, UFC president Dana said that he would be interested in hosting the fight. Both CEOs have contacted Dana and are dead serious about the fight. “Talked with Mark and Elon last night, both guys are absolutely dead serious about this,” said Dana White during his interview with TMZ.

White believes that both men are capable of handling themselves inside the octagon and a potential fight between the two would become the biggest fight of all time. “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,” added the UFC head honcho.

Both men have agreed upon Vegas as the potential venue. Since the UFC would be hosting the battle of billionaires, a fight at the UFC Apex could be expected. However, the Apex only holds around 1000 people. Dana White believes that this could be the biggest fight, so instead of Dana White’s UFC Apex, the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas would be a better choice. The T-Mobile Arena has hosted several huge MMA and boxing PPV events and would suit as the venue for a fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
