The Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk MMA battle sparked speculation but never materialized. During the height of the feud, both billionaires were willing to throw punches at each other within a cage. On top of that, UFC CEO, Dana White was going to promote the bout. However, that remained a dream, and it appears that White is still not over it.
Dana White recently hosted the first ever UFC event in Saudi Arabia which turned out to be a massive success. During the post-fight presser, a reporter asked White about a mega-fight that has the potential to break the 8 million pay-per-views record. This is what the CEO responded with:

Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are two of the most popular and richest CEOs in the world and have a massive following. Given their reach, Dana White had thought it was a great idea to put both of them inside the cage. White was always serious about the fight and made a lot of calls to make it happen. However, White’s dream never came to fruition.
It all started with Zuckerberg shocking the world getting into the world of BJJ. The Meta CEO even trained with popular MMA fighters such as Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski. Zuckerberg is a huge fan of MMA and has been in several UFC pay-per-view events to support his favorite fighters. However, his fight with Elon Musk always remained unachievable.

Zuckerberg vs. Musk does indeed have the potential to break a lot of pay-per-view records. As Dana White once mentioned, people would be extremely interested to see two of the most powerful and wealthy individuals battle it out inside a cage. The allure of witnessing such high-profile figures in a physical confrontation is undeniable. However, it seems like White’s dream remains just that for now, as there have been no concrete developments to turn this spectacle into reality.
