The coveted fight between the billionaires, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, had taken the world by storm before falling apart. Even a lot of people who have never followed combat sports were well into the fight. But it eventually fell apart due to a lot of complications. However, a large chunk of UFC fans may remember how the noted UFC legend, Chael Sonnen, came up with a piece of startling information about Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s words related to the fight.

‘The Bad Guy’ also appeared on noted MMA coverage personality Ariel Helwani’s podcast in June 2023, where he detailed the information that he had. But a lot of fans may be completely unaware of the entire scenario. So let’s dive in to learn more about the revelations made by the former UFC middleweight about Zuckerberg’s wishes related to the fight.

Chael Sonnen claimed that Mark Zuckerberg had revealed his wish to him over a call

Most UFC fans might agree that there’s hardly a better trash talker than Sonnen in the history of the promotion. Many former UFC stars, like Tito Ortiz, have accused him of getting high-profile fights just due to his ability to sell them with his smack-talks. Well, many fans may have smelled a similar goofery when Sonnen said that the Meta CEO, ‘Zuck’ gave him a call to reveal the event where he wanted to fight Elon Musk.

It was on Ariel Helwani’s podcast, ‘The MMA Hour’, where Sonnen told the MMA community about the call between him and Zuckerberg. He said, “Zuckerberg has told me that he has agreed to fight Elon Musk at UFC 300, and it was a very big deal.”

But the myth that Sonnen was trying to propagate got busted shortly afterward.

Despite the confirmation, do you think there might be some truth in Sonnen’s words?

Chael Sonnen hasn’t been proven false yet

As already mentioned, Sonnen said that the coveted fight between the billionaires is going to happen at UFC 300. But the UFC world is currently gearing up for UFC 295. Hence, it’s quite apparent that the UFC 300 may be quite far away. Since Sonnen revealed that Zuckerberg wanted to fight Musk at the UFC 300, nobody can prove him wrong until the final fight card of the UFC 300 is announced. Do you see any way in which Sonnen’s words may eventually materialize?
