The fans were taken aback by this sudden exchange between the two billionaires on social media since there was no preface to this verbal confrontation on social media. The UFC president, Dana White, recently made his official comment on this matter, and that changed everything about how people were viewing this little ‘altercation’.  Musk is now getting a host of training offers to make him combat-ready. One such offer is from a former UFC fighter who has offered to train Musk in return for something special.

In the middle of all this, former UFC Middleweight fighter Uriah Hall chimed in with his tweet to get a piece of the action and hoping to get a Tesla out of the deal he was trying to strike.

With Uriah Hall involving himself in the mix, UFC fans are sure to get involved as well. Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg is trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has been trained in various forms of combat since childhood. There was a good chance that Zuckerberg could have walked away with the win in this case. However, if UFC fighters like Uriah Hall pick sides and decide to train them, then the fight could get much more interesting. Not to mention, even.

It’s not just Uriah Hall who has gotten involved. UFC commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan and UFC president Dana White are also two of the people who have been involved in this matter. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg fighting would be the biggest fight of the generation, if not the most graceful.

When one fan suggested that Joe Rogan should officiate the match, Musk agreed by tweeting a fire emoji.

Now, however, UFC President Dana White has provided exclusive updates on this front. He has said that he has spoken to both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg and that both business magnates are really serious about doing this in the Octagon and that he would be interested in promoting the match between the two billionaires.
