Salutations to the billionaires ready to engage in a fierce battle! The legendary Colosseum in Rome, known for its gladiator fights and the brutal treatment of Christians, could potentially host a highly anticipated “cage match” between titans Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Italian Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano reportedly reached out to Zuckerberg about the possibility of arranging the event at the iconic ruins, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by TMZ. Zuckerberg’s team then forwarded the idea to UFC President Dana White, who is said to be in contact with Italian officials. Insiders revealed that “both Elon and Mark would love for the fight to go down at the Colosseum.” Musk hinted at the possibility in a tweet, suggesting there was a chance the fight could happen in the historic venue. He even shared a clip from the Colosseum fight scene in Monty Python’s “Life of Brian,” humorously admitting that he needs to work on his endurance. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg, an MMA enthusiast who recently won his first Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament, wasted no time in accepting Musk’s challenge for a “cage match,” prompting Musk to give him a location. The Post has reached out to Meta for comment. Reports suggest that the Colosseum is now being considered as a potential venue for the much-anticipated clash. Nevertheless, while skepticism remains about whether Zuckerberg and Musk would truly fight each other, both individuals seem committed to the concept. The sources claim that both tech moguls are fully invested in organizing the event and have been regularly communicating with White regarding the logistics. It’s worth noting that Musk holds a size advantage, standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing an estimated 230 pounds compared to Zuckerberg, who measures 5-foot-7 and weighs about 145 pounds. This could complicate the selection of a suitable venue. For instance, if the fight were to take place in Las Vegas at the UFC’s Apex Arena, as Musk initially proposed, it would require approval from the Nevada Athletic Commission. Musk issued the challenge after reports emerged of Meta’s plans to introduce a text-based rival to Twitter, with one executive asserting that it would be a “sanely run” alternative. Already gearing up for a potential showdown, Musk engaged in an “impromptu training session” with podcaster and AI researcher Lex Fridman, who praised Musk’s strength and skills both on the feet and on the ground. Musk also posted a photo of himself in the ring against a sumo wrestler last year. UFC legend Georges St-Pierre has extended an offer to train Musk, while MMA legend Jon “Bones” Jones has offered to train Zuckerberg. A match between the two could potentially alleviate the lingering tensions that have existed between Zuckerberg and Musk, as they have reportedly exchanged subtle jabs at each other for years in private. However, not everyone is thrilled about the prospect of a battle between Musk and Zuckerberg. Musk’s father, Errol, expressed concerns to The Sun, stating that his son would be seen as a “bully” if he were to win due to his size advantage. Furthermore, supermodel Maye Musk, Musk’s mother, has repeatedly encouraged him to abandon the idea.
