What started as a joke has become more relevant. Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg could face each other in an octagon, as revealed by UFC director Dana White.

Musk had teased the idea of ​​a cage fight after learning that Zuckerberg’s company Meta is developing a platform to compete with Twitter. That’s why Meta’s executive told the Tesla owner to give him the location for the fight.

Will we see Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg fighting in a ring?

Musk (aged 51) responded with two words: “Vegas Octagon,” in what appears to be a joke to suggest a specific place for the fight.

Faced with this situation, White said TMZLive that he has communicated with both of them and via text they have informed him that they want to meet in Las Vegas.

“I spoke to Mark and Elon last night, both guys are definitely taking this seriously,” he told the portal.

While it was thought it was all a joke and the fight was going to be just an anecdotal situation, White says they aren’t playing games and this could be the greatest fight of all time for what they both represent.

Musk and Zuckerberg both have martial arts backgrounds. The Tesla owner dabbled in sparring during his youth in South Africa, and Zuckerberg won jiu jitsu competitions.

White hopes to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for charity.
