In a post on Twitter, Adesanya said "this is serious business" as Zuckerberg, who also posted images on his Instagram page, prepares for a potential fight with Musk.

A ‘Cage Match’ Between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg May Be No Joke

The day after Elon Musk challenged Mark Zuckerberg on social media to “a cage match” this month, Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, received a text.

It was from Mr. Zuckerberg, chief executive of Meta. He asked Mr. White, who heads the world’s premier mixed martial arts competition, which is fought in cage-like rings, if Mr. Musk was serious about a fight.

Since then, Mr. White said, he has talked to the tech billionaires separately every night to organize the showdown. On Tuesday, he said, he was “on the phone with those two until 12:45 in the morning.” He added, “They both want to do it.”

I always thought he was a big guy, he's what 5'08"? Musk is much bigger, be interesting to see if Musk can pull a win.

If it's like Thunderdome, with chain saws etc then I'll watch.
