UFC President Dana White is hotly pursuing another super fight to materialize. The potential showdown between billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg seized headlines ever since Tesla CEO issued a challenge to his Meta counterpart. The Facebook CEO didn’t back down and asked to send him the location. He appears to have an upper hand after his exploits in BJJ were unearthed. To even the odds and make the fight intriguing, multiple UFC veterans have gushed in to offer their aid to the ‘Chief Twit’. Now the BJJ legend Royce Gracie has also joined the fray.
The idea of a celebrity fight between two of the richest men on the planet excites not only the fans but also the instructors and fighters. Recently, influencer Andrew Tate, who is already knee-deep in trouble, offered his services to the wealthiest person in the world. The queue is long as previously, Eddie Alvarez and Uriah Hall pitched in their support. But the UFC Hall of Famer might be of utility to the Space X CEO who might have to negate Zuckerberg’s BJJ skills.

Earlier, in his tweet, Tate wrote, “Meta banned me everywhere for telling the truth about vaccines. But now we can restore honour with a strike at the enemy clans leader. I will train you @elonmusk. You will not lose.”

Despite all the fuzz, UFC star Colby Covington has expressed doubts about whether the fight will materialize and if it does, he doesn’t expect it to be competitive.
