The Facebook CEO, who has taken up MMA, recently fought in a Brazilian jiu-jitsu event and surprised many by winning two medals. When he isn’t training on his fighting abilities, Zuckerberg is said to be developing ‘Thread,’ a competitor for Twitter, the social media network Musk acquired in 2022 for $44 billion.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to the announcement of Zuckerberg’s new company with a handful of caustic comments before a fan joked that he shouldn’t mess with the BJJ practitioner.
“I’m up for a cage match if he is lol,” Musk replied.
Soon after learning of Musk’s offer, Zuckerberg responded with a remark famously used by UFC great Khabib Nurmagomedov during his fierce battle with Conor McGregor.
“Send me location,” he posted on Instagram in reaction to McGregor storming a bus he was riding on prior of UFC 223 in April 2018.
Musk has yet to respond to his opponent’s apparent serious answer to his bout invitation, but he has already gotten a promotional proposal from boxing’s most divisive figure.
After striking a deal with PFL, Paul plans to shift to MMA next year and wants to bring Musk vs. Zuckerberg to the UFC’s competitor.
“Elon I will gladly promote your fight against Zuck, we can do it in the PFL on ESPN+ for charity,” he tweeted.
‘The Problem Child’ is set to battle Nate Diaz in Utah on August 5. Paul is trying to avenge his only setback, which occurred against Tommy Fury in February, after previously going 6-0 by defeating beginner opponents.
The 26-year-old has notable victories against MMA fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva, but he was defeated by a split decision in his first bout against a professional boxer. To get back on track, he’ll face another UFC icon before a rematch with Fury or a revenge bout with his long-time adversary KSI.
Paul will then devote his time to MMA, PFL, and a potentially historic battle between two tech millionaires who want to settle their disputes in the ring.
