Imagine Elon Musk, a multi-millionaire, versus Mark Zuckerburg, another multi-millionaire, in a cage match. Who would win? Well, we might think of this scenario as a joke, but Elon Musk recently challenged Mark Zuckerburg to a cage match. You might be thinking, “this is a false alarm, right?” or “is this really happening?” and to answer your questions, no to the first and yes to the second.
Now, based on the words cage match, you can tell Elon wants to challenge Mark to a head to head enclosed match. I’m not going to go into full detail about the specifics of a cage match, but you get the idea.
Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerburg talk with Dana White, president of the UFC, every single night. According to the New York Times, “he [Dana White] was on the phone with those two [Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg] until 12:45 in the morning. He added, they both want to do it.” Just by looking at this sentence, you can see how committed they are.
It’s even weirder to say that Mark is actually familiar with U.F.C fighting. According to the New York Times, “ Mr. Zuckerberg is especially familiar with the U.F.C. world. Over the past 18 months, he has embarked on a personal journey to bulk up and dove deep into Brazilian jujitsu, a grappling martial art in which competitors try to submit their opponent and which is used in U.F.C. fighting.” Zuckerburg’s even won awards, perNew York Times, “in May, he competed in his first public martial arts tournament in Redwood City, Calif., which he attended undercover — up until the moment he took off his hat and sunglasses to fight. He won gold and silver medals in the challenge.” You can see why Mark Zuckerberg is actually up to the challenge
So, it’s just a matter of time until the competition happens. Now, it’s up to you to choose a fighter.
