The traction of the super fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk is refusing to die down. The fight speculations first turned the heads of the fans when the Tesla CEO brought forth a quirky challenge to his Meta counterpart. Instead of backing down, the Facebook CEO took the challenge with spirit and doubled down on his rival. Since then, UFC President Dana White is engrossed in fixing another super fight, and several UFC veterans and fighters are looking to get involved in the billionaires’ affair. A former teammate of Nate Diaz recently jumped on the bandwagon and offered his services to the wealthiest man on the planet.
The exciting idea of a celebrity fight between two billionaires not only fascinated the fans but the fighters as well. While Eddie Alvarez and Uriah Hall extended their support to Musk, UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones sided with Zuckerberg. Influencers such as Andrew Tate are also not immune from the frenzy as he offered his aid to Musk. Joining the already long queue, a member of Diaz’s ‘Skrap Pack’ sets off the alarm for the 51-year-old business magnate.
