The tech king cage match is on, says Dana White; the UFC prez and master of the fight-as-spectacle genre.

White told LVSportsBiz.com this week he’s working on putting on the ultimate social media showdown between Twitter Titan Elon Musk and Facebook CEO Mark “Zuck” Zuckerberg.

“Will announce soon,” White said.

White said, “He’s working on a couple of options” regarding the venue for the Musk vs Zuck fight.

Musk and Zuck have been trading blows on social media, especially after the Facebook CEO launched a Twitter-like platform called, “Threads.”

White has experience on putting on spectacle fights. Bear witness to his Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor boxing match in August 2017.
