While the tense situation between Russia and Ukraine is on, many people’s attention has suddenly snapped towards the business mogul, Elon Musk. This includes UFC fighters as well.

Musk recently wrote a tweet that is half in English and half in Russian. As reported by several sources, the tweet was him challenging Vladimir Putin to single combat.

A few people even translated the tweet for those who weren’t proficient in Russian.

UFC fighter Terrence McKinney might have got a little excited after reading Elon Musk’s tweet. It seems that the athlete would love to corner Musk if he were to fight Putin. McKinney wrote on Twitter, “Let me corner you brotha, Elon Musk w/ T Wrecks”.

In addition to this, a few combat sports fans also speculated about what would happen if Putin and Musk actually fought. While some believed that Musk being physically larger would benefit him, others thought Putin’s combat skills cannot be ignored.

Further, Musk has also posted a tweet or two with memes, including the Russian President Putin. Many Twitter users jumped on the bandwagon and shared more memes, which included Musk and Putin. It would surely be interesting to see where Musk’s banter takes him.

While UFC featherweight McKinney would love to corner Musk, he is, unfortunately, coming off a recent loss. On March 13, the fighter faced Drew Dober and lost via a T/KO. His five-fight winning streak also came to an end with the loss.

While the fighter may have experienced a recent loss, he has been quite dominant in his previous fights. He tends to win fights through T/KOs or submissions, and not a single win has been left to the judges’ decisions. Therefore, it would be interesting to see him work on certain aspects of his fight game and be back inside the octagon soon.
