Competition in business appears to be insufficient for two of the IT industry’s most influential billionaires. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have stated that they want to resolve their differences in a cage fight. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will most probably get into a cage fight which was initially prompted by Musk himself. In reaction to Elon Musk’s latest tweet, in which Musk stated that he was “up for a cage fight,” Zuckerberg replied by sharing an image of Musk’s message with the phrase “send me location.”
Zuckerberg’s Instagram post, which has been verified as not a joke, has placed pressure on Musk to reply. According to Meta spokesman Iska Saric, “The story speaks for itself.” Musk responded with a two-word response: “Vegas Octagon.” (Via- The Verge)
One quirk is the disparity in size between the two. Musk, who stands at an estimated 1.87 meters (6ft 1in) and weighs 187 lbs, is several weight classes taller than Zuckerberg, who stands at 1.71 meters (5ft 7 in) and weighs less than 154 lbs. All other things being equivalent, Musk could have an edge, even after accounting for the 12-year age difference between the two.
UFC President Dana White stated to TMZ Sports the two men Musk and Zuckerberg are “absolutely dead serious” regarding battling one another in the octagon. “I was talking to both Elon and Mark last night. Both guys are absolutely dead serious about this. They both said, ‘Yeah, we’ll do it!.” said White. The chain of events that triggered the current turmoil began on Tuesday when Musk slammed news that Zuckerberg’s Meta was contemplating the launch of a Twitter competitor called Threads.
Does Elon Musk have any MMA experience?
Known for his expertise in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Zuckerberg is a fan of the sport and has quite the experience. Zuckerberg not only attends UFC events but also participates in many BJJ competitions. On the contrary, Musk has no prior experience in MMA or any other fighting sport; if he has, he has been hiding it from the public eye.
It is still unclear whether the entrepreneurs are really stepping into the cage, but if that is the case, the fans would love to watch the show. A vital public figure, Andrew ‘Cobra’ Tate, has shown a willingness to help the Tesla CEO. Tate, a man with a professional kickboxing history, turned to Twitter to offer his hand to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
According to Top G, he was banned from all social media sites by META, the firm managed by Zuckerberg, for speaking out against COVID-19 vaccinations.
Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines.

But now we can restore honour with a strike at the enemy clans leader.
I will train you @elonmusk.
You will not lose.
Andrew Tate appeared to be serious in his offer and tweeted: “Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines. But now we can restore honour with a strike at the enemy clans leader. I will train you @elonmusk. You will not lose”
Mark Zuckerberg’s Jiu-Jitsu record
Recently, Zuckerberg went viral when a few of his clips posted online clearly showed him participating in Jiu-Jitsu competitions. While Musk has a bigger frame and height advantage by being 6-foot-1, Zuckerberg has now been training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for nine months.

Zuckerberg was also spotted training in a series of clips posted online. Clips also revealed him striking a few blows which could only mean that the Meta CEO is focusing on taking up mixed martial arts as well. To his credit, Zuckerberg won two medals last month competing in a Jiu-jitsu competition held in California.
Zuckerberg is 39 years old and appears to have an edge in every way. Nevertheless, it’s uncertain how the two will proceed, although they might end up fighting in a cage. Musk is also 51 years old, meaning he is unlikely to be at his athletic pinnacle.
