Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is ready to test his fighting skills against Twitter owner Elon Musk.
Yes, this is a real sentence I just read.
The whole bizarre scenario pitting two of the world’s richest men against each other took place after Musk responded to a post about Zuckerberg’s company reportedly building a social media platform to rival Twitter. When someone reminded him that Zuckerberg had recently taken up Brazilian jiu-jitsu while studying under veteran instructor Dave Camarillo, Musk fired back to show that he seemed willing to fight to settle the score.
“I’m ready for a cage match if it’s lol,” Musk wrote on his own platform.
I’m in a cage match if lol

Zuckerberg, who recently posted a video in which he trains alongside the ONE Championship star, accepted the challenge on Instagram — another social media platform his company Meta owns along with Facebook — with length taken directly from former UFC lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov.
“Send me the site,” Zuckerberg wrote.
As silly as all of this might sound — and don’t be mistaken for hilariously stupid — there might actually be some fire with these two billionaires who want all the smoke.
A Meta spokesperson has already released a statement regarding Zuckerberg’s post as he accepted Musk’s challenge to fight.
In response, Meta said, “The story speaks for itself.”
Outside of sitting across from Joe Rogan for a podcast and briefly holding a place on the board of directors at Endeavor – owners of the UFC – Musk doesn’t appear to have any formal training or connection to combat sports but that clearly won’t stop him from fighting.
In fact, he promoted his personal “moves” in a separate post on Twitter.
A Vegas octagon, Musk said of Zuckerberg’s “send me a location” challenge. “I have this great move I call the ‘walrus’, where I lie on top of my opponent and do nothing.”
I have this cool move that I call “The Walrus,” where I lie on top of my opponent and do nothing

Will this really happen?
It seems highly unlikely, but interest in a potential fight between Zuckerberg and Musk has only grown since they began responding to each other on social media.
In fact, there are possibilities to fight from now on Sportsbetting.ag Where Zuckerberg opened up as a big favorite to defeat Musk in a potential match.

So there you go – Zuckerberg vs. Musk in a UFC octagon near you in one of the most bizarre fights in history as two people try to punch each other in the face.
