One of the biggest rivalries in the technology sector starring Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, and Mark Zuckerberg, creator of Facebook, could have a sporting outcome when both characters enter the ring to face off against the best of the UFC in a historic setting. .
The idea of seeing two of the biggest billionaires face each other hand to hand, arose after Musk challenged Zuckerberg to a fight under the rules of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), something that the owner of Meta not only accepted but also Showing how confident he is, he let his rival choose the stage.
Initially, the also owner of Tesla and Space X, had chosen the ‘Vegas Octagon’ for the fight, the place where the UFC events take place, however, the TMZ portal has reported that the Ministry of Culture of Italy would have contacted Zuckerberg to try to convince him to celebrate his fight with Musk and the historic Colosseum in Rome.
Apparently, the team of the founder of Facebook has transmitted this invitation to the president of the UFC, Dana White, who immediately launched the organization so that the media fight takes place in Italy.
In this sense, the aforementioned source affirms that both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg “love” the idea of battling in the best-known and most spectacular Roman amphitheater in the world -one of the seven wonders of the ancient world-.
Although it should be clarified that a definitive agreement has not yet been reached for the realization of this combat. Both executives have been in negotiations with the president of the UFC for approximately a week, of which no further details have been disclosed.
Given that this is a 2,000-year-old historical monument, it’s not clear that Musk and Zuckerberg will be fighting in the same central arena. As has happened with the last music concerts held in their surroundings, the two contenders may have to fight outside the Coliseum itself.
In this sense, it is important to remember that the last recital that took place inside it dates back to 20 years ago, when Paul McCartney performed for 400 people as part of a charity event whose tickets cost $1,500 dollars.
