Tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg facing each other in a cage was the last thing fight fans would have expected in 2023. Thanks to one of Musk’s random Twitter sorties, the whole world was talking about Musk vs. ‘Zuck.’ The 52-year-old stated he would fight the Meta CEO in a cage, and Zuckerberg asked for a ‘location.’ Since then, it has garnered the support of many MMA personalities, including UFC president Dana White who is willing to set up the fight. Ex-UFC star Georges St-Pierre was one of the many who offered to help Musk train. Now, it appears Musk accepted his offer.
