Elon Musk says UFC won’t manage Mark Zuckerberg fight; Conor McGregor and Jake Paul react
Days after UFC president Dana White indicated he was still working through details for a Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg fight, the Tesla CEO says the promotion won’t run the contest.
Friday, Musk tweeted the fight will be “managed” by the two billionaires’ individual foundations. He added the fight will stream on each of their social media platforms, X (formerly Twitter) and Meta (Facebook).
Musk confirmed White’s recent revelation the Colosseum in Rome is in play as a possible venue. Musk even said Italy’s prime minister and minister of culture have agreed to allow the bout to happen there.
Prominent combat sports figures Conor McGregor and Jake Paul seemed to celebrate, in their own unique ways, Musk’s separation from UFC involvement shortly thereafter.
