Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, two of the most influential billionaires in the world, had almost materialized a combat contest amongst each other. Having taunted each other on social media, Musk and Zuckerberg also caught UFC President Dana White’s attention.
Dana White was willing to host the mega-fight under his UFC banner, while multiple other promoters like Jake Paul desired to secure the contest. After sending the entire combat world into a frenzy, the potentiality of the bout declined.
Elon Musk recently appeared on The Joe Rogan podcast and shed his opinion on why the matchup against Zuckerberg didn’t happen. While Musk put the entire blame on the META Founder, Joe Rogan didn’t agree to believe it all.
Elon: “He has chickened out”
JRE: “I don’t think he has chickened out.”
Elon: “Puck, puck, puck, Zuck, Zuck, Zuck”
JRE: “I will go at him fighting, using taunts.”
Elon Musk continued, “He was posting all these fight videos and then someone on Twitter at the time said. ‘Hey you should fight Zuck’ and I said, I am willing to fight if he is. And then Zuck posted on Instagram or something. The name, the place, or something to that effect and I was like, ‘Okay, how about the Vegas octagon.”
Elon Musk is reportedly 6’1″ tall while Mark Zuckerberg stands at 5’8″. Hence, the TESLA CEO shall have a size advantage in the possible fight. However, Mark Zuckerberg is trained in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and that shall benefit him in any form of combat.
