The MMA community has currently been hyping up the idea of a mega-fight between Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk. Ever since both of them have agreed to a cage fight, several notable names from the combat sports universe have chimed in to offer them training. Even UFC president Dana White is interested in making this fight happen. As everybody is already striving to make this fight a reality, former UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen also entered the bracket.
The MMA fighter turned analyst has shared his thoughts on the fight. Sonnen believed that the fight will be a huge success. Fans, on the other hand, did not appear to agree with the former UFC fighter.
Fans react to UFC legend Chael Sonnen’s claim about Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk
Chael Sonnen recently appeared on an episode of the MMA Hour where he extensively discussed the mega-fight with Ariel Helwani. Sonnen also backed the idea of Dana White promoting it.
The UFC boss White is adamant about making the fight happen, even though he received criticism for the idea. He thinks it could be ‘The biggest fight in the history of the world.’ While backing White’s claims, Sonnen stated that this fight would break all records and generate over 25 million pay-per-views.
However, fans didn’t seem to buy Sonnen’s claims and trashed him in the comments section of the Twitter post made by MMA Fighting. Check some fan reactions below:
it would be big but 25 million is outrageous

I stopped taking anything Chael says seriously once I realized he is nothing more than a Dana/UFC mouthpiece. Not to mention his blatant hypocrisy about Colby getting a title shot against Leon lately

White believes Musk vs. Zuckerberg will be the ‘biggest fight in the world’
As aforementioned, the UFC president is undoubtedly a fan of Musk vs. Zuckerberg. Dana White has been talking about the fight on his social media platforms and in interviews since they decided to fight.
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, White admitted that if this battle goes through, it will be “big business.” He also labeled it ‘The biggest fight in the history of the world.’
During the same show, White disclosed other obstacles, such as the size disparity between Musk and Zuckerberg, that would present issues with the fight. But White is too invested in the concept to give up.
White has had a significant role in the UFC’s success. He is also responsible for one of the biggest boxing-UFC crossovers, Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather. As a result, White may be the driving force behind this mega fight.
What do you guys think about Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk? What is your thought on numbers stated by UFC legend Chael Sonnen?
