The much-anticipated cage match between tech titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has taken an unexpected turn, with talks of a historic venue adding to the excitement of the upcoming MMA bout.
Fans of both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are eagerly anticipating their clash in the cage, and organizers are taking steps to ensure the event lives up to the hype. The latest development suggests that the venue for this epic showdown could be none other than the iconic Colosseum in Rome, a location rich in historical significance that befits the magnitude of the battle.
According to reports from The Sun, Dana White, the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has revealed that discussions have taken place with senior officials in Italy regarding the possibility of using the Colosseum as the arena for this high-stakes encounter between the tech moguls.
Despite the fact that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have yet to finalize a fight date, the UFC CEO remains confident that whenever this battle unfolds, it will yield an astounding $1 billion in revenue. Speaking on Mike Tyson’s podcast, Dana White shared his insights, affirming the authenticity of the fight’s potential. “It’s real, it’s real, they do wanna fight. We were literally talking about the Colosseum for that fight,” White explained, referring to discussions with officials from the Italian Ministry of Culture.
White emphasized that the fight would adhere to the rules of genuine MMA competition, stating, “It would be MMA. We’re talking. No steroids, no steroids allowed; these guys would be drug tested.”
The intriguing aspect lies in the backgrounds of the combatants. Mark Zuckerberg is a fervent UFC fan and trains actively, while Elon Musk’s history includes a background in judo, making him a credible judo practitioner.
White also underscored the enormity of this potential event, musing, “This is one of those fights that, if we did do that, I would build a killer undercard with tons of great fights and them in the main event. But think about how big that fight is!”
While Mark Zuckerberg has shown his commitment by constructing a training octagon in his backyard, Elon Musk’s response to the proposed fight date of August 26 is still pending. Musk cites the need for an MRI and possible surgery before the match can take place, due to his ongoing neck and back issues. Additionally, Musk has already secured a claim to the broadcasting rights, underscoring his anticipation for the bout’s realization.
As the saga continues, the potential cage fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg promises to be an unprecedented spectacle that could go down in history. The idea of this battle taking place in the Colosseum adds another layer of grandeur to the anticipation, reminding the world that even in the realm of technology, clashes of titans can echo the ancient battles of old.
