As noted by the BBC, Musk took to Twitter to say that he would be ‘up for a cage fight’ with the Facebook boss. Zuckerberg replied with a screenshot of the tweet, saying ‘send me the location’.

With UFC boss, Dana White prepared to make the fight a reality, the heavyweight champion has now weighed in on the potential bout, offering to be Zuckerberg’s training partner. Jones himself was last involved in a cage fight when he defeated Cyril Gane to win the then-vacant heavyweight strap.

The Instagram head is no stranger to martial arts and has recently fought in a jiu-jitsu tournament.

Reactions to Jones’ offer

There has been a mixed reaction to Jones’ offer to help train Zuckerberg, with some feeling that he had backed a losing horse.

@dairyasf:

“Team Elon all the way.”

@CBSdawg:

“Well, the Goat has spoken 😂😂”

@1021129O:

“I know Bones is on his A-game if he chose Zuck.”

@SirGime:

“Rare Jones L.”

@klaarlichtedag:

“Teach him how to oblique kick.”

@DJolympusMons:

“Damn, lost respect for you for that one GOAT.”

@WStavert:

“You this let me down @JonnyBones. How could you?”

White: Zuckerberg vs. Musk possible

What initially appeared as a casual back-and-forth between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk on Twitter may have taken a serious twist, as far as comments from UFC chief, Dana White are concerned.

The Tesla CEO recently challenged the Meta boss to a cage fight, something which White believes is a possibility, Sports Brief reported.

The UFC president believes that a bout between the two will be one of the most-watched fights in history.
