It all started on June 21 when Tesla boss Elon Musk reacted to the announcement by Mark Zuckerberg, boss of Meta, to release a competitor to Twitter (owned by Musk). While a Twitter user recalls that Zuckerberg is a Brazilian jiu jitsu fighter, Musk adds: "I'm in for a cage fight, if he is too", punctuated by a "lol".
And Zuckerberg responds: "Send me location" ("send me the location") in reference to the enormous Russian champion Khabib Nurmagomedov who had thus challenged his rival Connor McGregor, so that their fight takes place as soon as possible quickly, rather than put up with McGregor's big mouth (a quality fighter despite his incessant, borderline verbal provocations).
The crazy cage
In short, it got hot and the heat escalated when Dana White, president of the UFC, the biggest cage fighting league, assured that the two CEOs are very serious about this fight, after contacting them. And more recently, two sports legends even volunteered to coach the billionaires.
In tech to tech
On the one hand the American Jon Jones said on Twitter: “You already know that I am Team Zuck. Let me know if you need a sparring partner,†as Canadian George Saint Pierre declared his admiration for Musk, making a similar offer. To which Musk replied "Okay, we're doing it".
There is no denying it, we are living in a wonderful, not to say special, time. Admittedly, we can lament that social networks today contribute to creating such situations by inflaming people's minds at high speed, but on the other hand, it is appreciable to see that men of image are ready to put some honor and courage on the table to settle their differences. In any case, we are at the forefront! And it's true that he's doing quite well Mark Zuckerberg (another training video below).
We recall in passing the excellent Kingdom series evolving in the world of MMA, with Frank Grillo.
