At least it will be “sane”. Was worried there for a moment”, Musk tweeted. What started as banter soon developed into a potential fight that has all fans excited!

Zuckerberg is always known for embracing the spirit of competition. He did the same here, by responding to Musk’s tweet on his Instagram story. Without using many words, the Meta CEO posted the phrase “Send Me Location” with the screenshot of Musk’s fight challenge.

This phrase was first made popular by the UFC GOAT Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Russian fighter said this in a press conference when talking about the controversial bus incident involving Conor McGregor. It was intriguing for the fans to see Zuckerberg use the same phrase.

Fueling the flames further, popular Verge editor Alex Heath suggested that Zuckerberg is genuinely interested in this fight. Musk was quick to respond by suggesting the Vegas Octagon as a potential venue for their hypothetical showdown.

According to White, this clash between two tech giants would surpass any previous event in terms of magnitude and global interest. “This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world, bigger than anything that’s ever been done”. With the Space-X creator interested in Vegas as the venue, it might be possible than Dana White becomes the promoter of the fight.
