Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur, recently tweeted that the UFC would not be managing a potential fight between him and Mark Zuckerberg. The tweet was in response to a post by UFC president Dana White, who had jokingly offered to host the fight. Conor McGregor and Jake Paul both reacted to the news on social media.
The fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).
Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.
I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location.

Elon Musk tweeted that the UFC would not be managing a potential fight between him and Mark Zuckerberg. The tweet was in response to a post by UFC president Dana White, who had jokingly offered to host the fight. Musk’s tweet read, “Sorry Dana, UFC is not my thing. I don’t even watch UFC. That said, I’m happy to see that people are interested in the fight. Maybe we can get it on pay-per-view someday”
Conor McGregor’s Reaction
Conor McGregor, the former UFC two-division champion, reacted to Elon Musk’s tweet on social media. McGregor tweeted, “Elon Musk is a smart man, but I think he’s underestimating the power of the UFC. If he wants to fight Mark Zuckerberg, he should do it in the Octagon. That’s where the real fights happen”.
Jake Paul’s Reaction
Jake Paul, the YouTube personality turned boxer, also reacted to Elon Musk’s tweet on social media. Paul tweeted, “Elon Musk is the real boss of bosses. Meanwhile Dana White selling Musk Zuck t-shirts. This is how you do it. All to charity. Would be amazing to use some of the proceeds to setup a pension plan for fighters.”
