Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg may never be put in a cage, but a planned fight between the two has generated a lot of buzz on social media over the past week.
After Musk said he would fight him, Zuckerberg pulled out on Khabib Nurmagomedov with a simple “send me location” line on Instagram. As the hype grew, Musk explained that he wanted a “cage fight” against Zuckerberg in Las Vegas.
Since discussion of a fight between the Meta and Twitter CEOs arose, UFC President Dana White has said in multiple interviews over the past week that he has been in talks with both Musk and Zuckerberg about staging the fight.
As the hype grew, numerous MMA fighters and personalities engaged in a “musk vs. zuck” fight. Some even took sides. Scroll down to see what the MMA community thinks of a possible fist fight between social media tycoons.

The UFC said if he wins 15 more fights in a row he could be in Musk’s PreLim against Zuckerberg. #UFC

@elonmusk Not sure if your corner is set, but word on the street is he’s a two-time UFC bantamweight champion @DominickCruz has expressed an interest in cornering you for your upcoming fight.

Honestly, part of me is downright irritated by the thought of mainstream news outlets having to spread the Zuckerberg-Musk fight story and explaining the meaning of the phrase “send me the location” to a regular audience.

Dan Hellie
The hype about Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg would be huge.
First reaction: Zuck would destroy him. Actively trains and pretty good in every way.
On closer inspection: there is a massive difference in size. Elon is 5 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier
Conclusion: Zuck -150

Zuck has been training for a while! I’ll definitely take it!

No idea @elonmusk could throw the big overhand to the right and just catch Zuck as he comes in! lol

My head says Zuck, who’s been training BJJ for about a year (I think) handles the dubbing, though @elonmusk is my type and I rock with him, but I’m not sure if I can bet on it 😅
Who are you all taking with you?

Only interested in E-Lawn vs. The Zuck Man when it comes to a gamble vs. gamble game. The winner will receive Facebook/Twitter. Jake Paul, special guest referee. Jake Dorsey is hanging in a cage over the ring.

Cris Cyborg
Elon and Zuckerberg compete to promote the first MMA fight in the meta-verse and further their company’s advancements in VR and AI.
But I’m all for the PPV if they accept it #BTC 🤣

“When it comes to ideal body type and overall stamina and ability for cage fighting, Mark Zuckerberg would have the upper hand. With a high-protein, health-promoting diet and demonstrating mixed martial arts skills, he would most likely win 🤣🤣🤣

Luca Fury
The odds between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg – what do you think they would be?
Zuckerberg should be preferred in my opinion, despite being smaller. He’s in better shape, younger, and most importantly, actually trains in MMA.

So this is going to be a different promotion that has nothing to do with the UFC…because Dana doesn’t do gimmick fights, right…right 😏😏
