Multi-billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are gearing up for a potential scrap inside the UFC Octagon. And as per the company’s boss Dana White, both are “dead serious” about it.
The rivalry between the tech moguls stems from their history of animosity. And the recent fight challenge emerged as reports circulated about Zuckerberg’s Meta working on a Twitter competitor. The brewing conflict only adds fuel to the fire, heightening the anticipation for their potential physical confrontation.
Considering the magnitude of the potential showdown, several UFC personalities, active and retired, have expressed support for either party. The UFC president, known for his hatred for “gimmicky fights,” was recently rocking a Zuckerberg vs. Musk t-shirt. The 53-year-old is leaving no stone unturned to make sure he gets to promote what would arguably be the biggest exhibition match in the combat sports realm.

While stoking the excitement surrounding this bout, Dana made some stunning revelations about the records it could break. Speaking with TMZ this past week, White said, “This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world, bigger than anything that’s ever been done. It would break all pay-per-view records. I think it triples (Mayweather-McGregor). There’s no limit on what this thing can make.”
While Dana seemingly works behind the scenes to get the ball rolling, creative fans have started dishing out rad-looking posters. And amidst all of this, some not-so-flattering pictures of the SpaceX CEO have seemed to resurface the internet.

The candid photos date back to July 2022, when Elon Musk was seen soaking up the sun aboard a luxury yacht in Mykonos, Greece. Page Six caught hold of the now-viral pictures. What’s also noteworthy is that UFC’s Ari Emanuel was also aboard the ‘Zeus,’ a reportedly $20,000-per-week motor yacht.
Soon the Tesla CEO stripped down to just his bathing suit and took a dive into the ocean. But once back on the yacht, the Endeavor CEO hosed him down. These photos had now started circulating once again, amidst the weight class speculation of his potential scrap with the Meta CEO.
Fans throw strong criticism toward shirtless photos of Elon Musk
Twitter and social media in general are filled with the most random things. However, when perfectly timed, it can certainly stir things up, especially in the MMA community. While comparing the physical attributes of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, these photos definitely prove Mark to have the upper hand.
The strange yet hilarious photos incited all sorts of reactions from social media users. Here are some of them –

That other guy in the picture is so compassionate, trying to keep the whale’s skin moist with the hose. I hope it can be unbeached.
