The assertions regarding the probable fight between Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter Chairman Elon Musk have incessantly been making rounds. Till now no clear picture has been drawn regarding whether the billionaires will enter a place where there is no privilege or will remain in their great realms. While the debate is regarding whether a one-on-one match will take place between the two or not, an interesting theory has come up, which states that the match will take place but it will not be inside the Octagon nor it will be a physical battle.   

3 things you need to know

What the expert says about Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk

In our curiosity towards the sport and especially about this contest, republicworld.com caught up with Sony Sports' MMA expert Somesh Kamra. We asked Somesh about this mega battle and he gave a vehement view that the fight will not happen but the 21st-century emperors could get together for a promotional Esports match at UFC 300.

I think it’s more of a business strategy. I don’t think both are going to fight. Prima facie, I don’t think they are going to compete. I don’t think they are physically going to fight in the Octagon. Both are not fighters. I believe there is some business decision that is coming through for the UFC, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerburg. I am assuming this is a prep-up to UFC 300 and there is some AI technology or virtual reality video game or something that would come that would be revealed at UFC 300. I am assuming it could also be some new technology where for the EA Sports UFC game, there may be some AI or virtual reality and Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk may fight but that’s going to be in the video game, they are not going to physically fight. I think it’s going to be interesting next 8-9 months for us till US 300 happens. But I do believe they are not going to fight, it is some marketing thing that is going on. They are going to unveil some new technology at UFC 300 that is going to raise eyebrows and it will be Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk, but it will be in the video game.
