According to UFC CEO Dana White, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were legitimately in talks to have an MMA fight at the Colosseum.

Zuckerberg, a fighting enthusiast who has trained with many UFC champions, has repeatedly expressed interest in stepping into the cage.

The Meta CEO then broke the internet in 2023 when he agreed to fight Musk, with the latter making the first call, saying he was ‘up for a cage fight’ with Zuckerberg.

However, after months of rumours, talk of the clash happening dwindled when Zuckerberg said Musk wasn’t ‘serious’ about it, adding that it was ‘time to move on.’

Aside from Zuckerberg’s claim that Musk wouldn’t commit, there seems to be no other reason why the battle of the tech giants never came to fruition.
