Elon and Zuck are Apparently Serious About Doing a UFC Fight

Don’t get too caught up in the Russia coup situation to miss out on the fact that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have apparently agreed to a cage match.

Dana White has said he’s in talks with them.

It seems to be a situation where Elon thinks this is funny and Zuck is actually mad and too autistic to understand it’s a joke.

Personally, I would rather see Elon fight Bill Gates.

But I’ll settle for this.

A proposed cage match between tech billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg would be the most profitable fight in history, the Ultimate Fighting Championship president told TMZ Sports this week.

Dana White said the broadcast “would break all pay-per-view records,” referring to the standard television service used to broadcast UFC fights.

“This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world, bigger than anything that’s ever been done,” White predicted.

A standard UFC PPV costs $80, but White said he would charge $100 for the Musk-Zuckerberg face-off. So far, the biggest PPV in history was a boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor in 2017, White said, which generated 4.3 million domestic PPV buys and more than $600 million in total revenue.

Mayweather-McGregor was also a circus sideshow event, as well as being a kind of interracial BDSM thing.

McGregor took the money to get his ass beat. No one anywhere believed he had even a one in a million chance of beating Mayweather.

“I just think [the potential Musk-Zuckerberg fight] triples what that did,” White said, implying that the bout could bring in over $1.8 billion. He added that “there’s no limit on what that thing can make.”

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the No. 1 and No. 10 richest men in the world, have been trading barbs on social media for several days, following news of Zuckerberg’s plan to launch a rival to Twitter. Their to-and-fro resulted in Musk challenging Zuckerberg to a “cage match,” which drew the response: “send me location.” Musk then tweeted: “Vegas Octagon,” the famed arena that hosts UFC fights.

According to White, who said he spoke with both Musk and Zuckerberg, they are both serious about the contest. White said he was already in the “early stages” of planning the fight, but declined to speculate as to when it might take place.

Yeah, have Musk fight Gates, then have Zuck fight Jake Paul.

No, but seriously: you’d think Elon would beat Zuck – you would just instinctively think that – but Elon is much older and really out of shape, and Zuck does a bunch of new age Silicon Valley health stuff.

It seems unlikely that it will happen, but funnier things have happened. I think this should happen, really. It’s good for everyone, including the Jews trying to distract us with bullshit. But it’s such funny bullshit, that I don’t mind being distracted with it. Much better than the MCU.

I’d be willing to train Elon for the fight if he gives me my account back.
