Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO and Twitter owner is open to facing the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in a fight! Readers must be wondering what all the fuss is about. Recently, Twitter user Mario Nawfal brought to light that Mark Zuckerberg was in the process of coming up with an alternative app for Twitter, which is tentatively called “Threads.” In response to that, Musk took some shots at the Meta head honcho.

However, once Elon Musk was reminded of Zuckerberg’s recent jiu-jitsu training, the former seemed unbothered and even went on to claim that he is up for fighting the latter. It has started a massive conversation about the two of them actually fighting and it seems like Mark Zuckerberg is also open to the idea. Taking to his Instagram stories, Zuckerberg channeled his inner Khabib Nurmagomedov and simply added, “Send Me Location”
Zuckerberg’s reply has also reached Elon Musk, who revealed that he was open to fighting Meta boss and he was indeed serious about it. Some users even suggest that Joe Rogan could serve as the referee. Musk, who has a great relationship with the UFC commentator, was open to the idea and replied with a fire emoji.

As far as the location goes, Elon Musk wants to hold the fight in Las Vegas. It was seemingly a nod at Zuckerberg booking out the UFC Apex in 2022 to enjoy a night of fights with his wife.
Dana White is interested in booking Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg
UFC President Dana White, who never misses out on an opportunity to promote the company, is at the forefront of the issue once again. He saw Mark Zuckerberg’s reference to Khabib Nurmagomedov and immediately shared it on his Instagram story while tagging “The Eagle.” In another post, he also tagged Zuckerberg, seemingly stating his interest in putting the fight together.
While Elon Musk is undoubtedly a genius in his field, Mark Zuckerberg definitely has the advantage in the cage. The 39-year-old has been training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) discipline for quite some time now. Zuckerberg, who started his MMA training during the pandemic, has fallen in love with the sport. Not only has he been taking striking lessons, but Zuckerberg is also a dedicated jiu-jitsu practitioner.

He even won in a jiu-jitsu tournament recently where he represented the Guerilla Jiu-Jitsu team as a white belt. He competed in the Master 2 lightweight division and managed to win the tournament handily. Afterward, he posted his accomplishments on Instagram and he was incredibly proud of the feat! So it does look like he will have the advantage as there is no word on Elon Musk doing any kind of physical training as of now.
