Colosseum Battle
During an episode of the “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” podcast, Dana White revealed, “It’s real, it’s real, they do wanna fight. We were literally talking about the Colosseum for that fight.” White also mentioned a meeting with Italy’s minister of culture’s team to explore the logistics of holding the fight within the Colosseum’s historic walls.
If the fight comes to fruition, it will involve MMA rules, and both Musk and Zuckerberg would undergo steroid tests prior to the event. White shed light on the fighters’ backgrounds, noting, “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.” Dana White elaborated on the potential grandeur of the event, envisioning multiple undercard fights leading up to the main event. He even projected that the Musk vs. Zuckerberg fight, if hosted at the Colosseum, could generate a staggering $1 billion in revenue.
Training Regimen
The preparation for this unlikely showdown is already in motion. Mark Zuckerberg has dedicated several months to martial arts training, while Elon Musk has sought the guidance of UFC legend Georges St-Pierre for potential training assistance.
