Over the past few days, speculations surrounding a potential MMA fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have flooded the internet. The rumors started when the founder of Tesla responded to a fan on Twitter and claimed that he would be down for a cage fight against the Meta CEO. Zuckerberg then seemingly accepted the challenge and news took over the world. Since then, a lot has been said about the fight and UFC president Dana White has also expressed his interest in hosting the fight.
Moreover, he claimed that if it happens, the fight will be the biggest fight ever in history and will surpass the numbers of Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather.
Ever since then, a lot has been said about the potential bout by several notable names, including Chael Sonnen, from combat sports. Now, UFC superstar Israel Adesanya seemed to have entered the bracket.
What did Israel Adesanya say about Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg?
Recently, UFC legend Chael Sonnen made a shocking revelation by claiming to have received a phone call from Mark Zuckerberg where he agreed to fight Elon Musk at UFC 300.
Moreover, Sonnen made a bold claim by suggesting that the fight will surpass 25 million PPV buys and become the highest-selling PPV of all time in one of his interviews.
Now, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has jumped on the bandwagon and made a hilarious revelation. While responding to a tweet, Adesanya suggested that he was contacted by Mark Zuckerberg as well.

In the same tweet, ‘The Last Stylebender’ attached a picture of his DMs with Zuckerberg as well. He captioned the post by saying:
“Me three”
Although the fight seems to have captivated the interest of the MMA community, there are yet some roadblocks that might prevent it from happening. The UFC boss, Dana White, talked about the same.
Dana White claims Zuckerberg vs. Musk won’t be sanctioned by a commission
While the fantasy matchup between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk is certainly something everyone wants to see, it is actually really difficult to make the fight happen.
It is worth noting that there is a massive size and weight difference between the two. As a result of the same and on top of the fact that they are not trained fighters, Dana White believes the fight won’t be sanctioned by the commission.
However, the fantasy matchup could still go ahead as an exhibition. That said, it will be interesting to see if the UFC president is successful in making what would arguably be the biggest fight in history happen.
What are your thoughts on this fantasy fight? What do you guys think about Adesanya’s tweet?
