[{"selector":"#anim-ee864996-2ba6-4e10-b77a-f73e9dcbd810 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.206542992106654%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e0c76ccc-6228-471d-bd2c-3be29e308077","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-e17714ff-f443-4e47-bffd-112224716182","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9f4e3a9-aae2-47dc-8834-0bf23ee84150","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.76316%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The fight has undergone many modifications since Elon joked about fighting Mark on Twitter. Both tech giants have been training with some of the most famous UFC fighters since then.

[{"selector":"#anim-95b5900c-84bc-490f-8073-8fdd0038593b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.206542992106654%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4f331306-b4b8-4fa7-b796-8901f535fd43","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-50084e72-c0cd-4c36-b84f-b172edb01df3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e11e376-5f73-444d-9ed4-14dfa7c4aa43","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.76316%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Perhaps the bout now seems to be in jeopardy of happening, as Mark suggested making it a fight card in collaboration with the UFC, which can help promote the upcoming fighters as well.
