Lol this fight isn't going to happen, a cage fight for that matter!!
Probably this was some kind of figure of speech that was misinterpreted for its literal meaning...but if they will have to fight it will be a tech fight not some mixed martial arts UFC style...
But then again after seeing that Dana White white interview were he confirmed both Billionaires subscribing for this fight, there is a possibility that this will happen.
IIRC, I saw a post where Elon Musk confirmed that he is "dead serious" about it. I still doubt the possibility but never say never. I've seen things that in the past I would think is impossible happen so I won't be surprised if this fight ends up happening. I don't know about Elon, but Mark is a fighter and I have been following some of his jiu-jitsu activities in the past so I'm even more pumped about it. It would be super interesting to see both of them fight, not just for the sake of it.
If bookers open markets for this fight and it goes on to happen, I'm definitely putting my money on Elon regardless, haha.
I know they said they are "dead serious" about it, but are you seeing anything happening further than just talks? I mean there is no official thing at all, there is nothing at all actually, there is absolutely no reason why we would assume that this would happen.
I bet that even their own boards wouldn't allow something like this let alone anything else, but even if everyone did allow them, fighting organizations wouldn't, you need to get a license out to be able to fight, specially in a vicious thing like UFC, and they may not get the license to fight with the body they have, maybe Mark because he looks fit and been training, but who would give Elon a license to fight? They would have to fight somewhere else to get the license to be fair, and that's a bit of a tough deal. I do not see this happening, even if they meant it.
