World's biggest tech tycoons, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk, are up for a fight. Not metaphorically, but literally, a cage fight between the two is likely after Metas owner accepted the challenge by Twitter CEO. 

The whole fight episode began after rumours surfaced that Zuckerberg, who is a jujitsu enthusiast, was looking for an opponent. To this, Musk tweeted that he is "Up for a cage match." This caught the attention of Meta owner, who then posted the screenshot of the tweet with the caption reading "Send me location."

This line reflects Zuckerberg's mood as it is a famous dialogue used by former UFC fighter Khabib Nurma Namaka Dov. And now, since you must be wondering who would emerge victorious, let's look at the tale of the tape.

Zuckerberg is a more experienced martial artist than Musk, with a height of five feet 8, Zuckerberg recently put his jujitsu skills on display at the Silicon Valley tournament, where he won gold and silver medals. He has also sparred with UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volcano.

Moreover, Zuckerberg participates in grueling workout challenges and has been posting several videos of him training for a fight which sheds light on his advanced fighting skills. However, the world's richest man cannot be underestimated.

Standing over 6 feet tall, Musk has a clear reach advantage over Zuckerberg. He is also heavier than Zuckerberg, which means his blows could be more effective than those by Zuckerberg. Computer scientist and podcast host Lex Friedman has testified to this; after holding an impromptu training session with Musk, he tweeted that he is extremely impressed by his. 

Though Musk is not a fitness enthusiast, he has seemingly agreed to be trained by the UFC legend Georges St-Pierre.

The two billionaires are already competing in the tech industry for a while now. Meta is currently working to create a new app to rival Twitter. As certain as it is, both men hope to lock horns in a cage fight, an epic clash awaits which will be loved by both MMA and tech enthusiasts.

However, there have been some setbacks that might caused the fight to be called off, among whom is Musk's mother, who tweeted that she is calling off the fight. Now, UFC President, Dana White, is optimistic that the fight will happen, but many have called it a gimmick.

We shall keep our fingers crossed and give you updates as the fight develops.
