Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have generated buzz around a high-stakes showdown between billionaires, the motivations behind which remain somewhat enigmatic. However, this much is clear: the event won’t be happening within the confines of the Octagon, nor will the UFC be overseeing its promotion, as indicated by Musk’s recent statements.
What raises eyebrows is the significant involvement of UFC President Dana White in driving the preparations for this event.

Having joined the Endeavor board of directors in the past, Musk wields substantial clout within the tech and social media realms, a realm in which Zuckerberg also holds considerable influence.
Zuckerberg’s recent attendance as a guest at a UFC “Fight Night” event held at APEX in Las Vegas underscores his engagement in the sports and entertainment scene.
In any case, Conor McGregor is pleased to see the spectacle departing from the scene.
“I could not be less interested in this,” McGregor wrote on Twitter. “I am so happy the UFC will not be involved.”
Dana White genuinely shared his enthusiasm, confirming the shared interest in the potential fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. He unveiled ongoing talks about arranging the showdown at the legendary Colosseum, even mentioning a productive meeting with the team of Italy’s Culture Minister to explore the exciting possibility of staging this event at the iconic historical site.
“It’s real, it’s real, they do wanna fight. We were literally talking about the Colosseum for that fight,” White said. “I actually did have a meeting with the minister of culture’s team in Italy to actually have that fight in the Colosseum, if it would happen.
“It would be MMA (mixed martial arts). We’re talking. No steroids, no steroids allowed; these guys would be drug tested. Zuckerberg takes this s*** very seriously. He is a huge UFC fan, he trains. He’s an MMA fan, I should say. Elon grew up doing judo, he’s a legit judo guy.”
