The highly-anticipated Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk fight is all but cooked … ’cause Dana White says the billionaire brawl is “probably” never going to happen.
The UFC president, Dana White, expressed pessimism about the potential matchup, pretty much killing all hope of seeing the bout come to fruition.
“I never say never, but probably not,” Dana told Charly Arnolt on “OutKick The Morning.”
The fight was initially talked about taking place at the Roman Colosseum.
However, Mark Zuckerberg recently said he’s focusing on taking an actual opponent in the UFC and has been training extensively with top fighters.

Since then, the hype has died down as both sides have toned down their social media trash talk. Zuckerberg is now focused on finding a real opponent.
Although it’s disappointing, Dana White highlights that the real losers in this situation are the charities that would have benefited from the fight. The event had the potential to raise a significant amount of money for good causes.
“Let me tell you who would win in that fight — would be whatever charities were picked to donate the money to,” said Dana White. “They would be the absolute winners because I think that thing would do a billion dollars in revenue, and they wanted 90% of the money to go to charity.”
“So, it would have been the biggest charity event ever held in history, especially for one night. It would have helped a lot of people.”
What a shame.
