Not everyone is excited about dueling billionaires.
More recently, information surfaced that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were going to fight under MMA rules. Both are engaged in martial arts, and now the billionaires have decided to face each other in the octagon. UFC President Dana White immediately jumped on the case and things began to unfold quickly. Negotiations are already underway for the fight to take place at the Colosseum, one of the most emblematic places in Italy. But if initially the idea of u200bu200bsuch a fight was perceived exclusively with enthusiasm, and the best fighters expressed a desire to train Musk and Zuckerberg, now more and more negativity is being heard.
Tim Welch, who trains UFC fighter Sean O’Malley, spoke very categorically about a possible fight: “If they fight, I won’t call it anything other than the biggest laughing stock.”
The main details of the next match:
Las Vegas Octagon. Billionaires Zuckerberg and Musk decided to cut themselves in pop MMA
And legendary former UFC referee John McCarthy refused to take this as a real fight: “Recently Dana White said they don’t do weird fights. But the bottom line is that he first says one thing, then completely different. Dana does what makes money. If this isn’t a monster fight, then what is? Trust me, you don’t want to see such a disgrace.”
It is worth noting that even the relatives of rivals understand the absurdity of what is happening. Then, Elon Musk’s mother, May, banned her son from entering the Octagon. She set the conditions under which the billionaire will be able to continue the skirmish with the opponent: “No joke. Fight only with words. in armchairs. Four feet away. Whoever is funniest wins.”
You can understand people who criticize the duel between Musk and Zuckerberg. The pop-MMA direction is gaining wide popularity and is becoming more and more interesting to the public. But the upcoming fight is positioned as real, for the sake of the celebration they are ready to go to great lengths and even use one of the main world attractions as an arena. The main reason is a lot of money. It’s hard to even imagine how many people will buy paid streams.
Top athletes supported the idea and are ready to help:

The main criticism is that those who spend money will be disappointed in this. The fight between Musk and Zuckerberg is unlikely to please with powerful exchanges, activity and aggression. On the contrary, the duel can become a lazy exchange of blows and attempts at fighting. That’s just for this, hardly enough technical equipment. Of course, I want the billionaires to step into the Octagon and shame the skeptics. But so far it seems that the worst fears may come true.
