Elon responded to the statement by tweeting, “I’m up for a cage match if he is lol.” To followers’ amazement, Mark replied, “Send me a location.” These comments led to a lot of speculation that a fight might actually occur.
Finding the Right Location
The Minister of Culture in Italy reached out to Mark Zuckerberg to propose the use of one of the seven wonders of the world, the Colosseum in Rome, as the location for their fight. Mark let the Minister and the UFC president, Dana White, discuss the likelihood of the dispute occurring at the proposed venue.

Dana White said that both Mark and Elon were serious about the fight. He made an evaluation that the fight was going to go down in history as one of the biggest combats ever.
The Fight of the Season
“It could be bigger than the Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather’s boxing match in 2017,” Dana White said. If it happens, the Roman Colosseum was picked as the potential location for the MMA fight between Mark Zuckerberg and his rival, Elon Musk.
