In what can only be described as an unprecedented event, the Italian government has purportedly proposed a spectacular UFC fight featuring two of the world’s technology magnates, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, set in Rome’s legendary Colosseum.
Reports indicate that both the Tesla CEO and Facebook’s founder are showing enthusiasm for this extraordinary proposal, signalling a possible high-stakes showdown in one of history’s most iconic venues.
Our sources intimate that Italy’s Minister of Culture has reached out to Zuckerberg, floating the idea of hosting this potentially historic bout in the ancient amphitheater. The information was later communicated to Dana White, the president of UFC, who has now joined the discussions with the Minister.
The Colosseum, while a symbol of Italy’s rich history, hasn’t hosted large events in centuries. Current seating arrangements can only accommodate a few hundred spectators, a far cry from its ancient glory. The most notable modern event being the 2003 charity concert by Sir Paul McCartney, which hosted an audience of just 400 attendees. It remains uncertain whether this tech tycoon clash will unfold within the confines of the Colosseum or in an external setup.
Multiple sources have suggested that the possibility of this event taking place is high. Both Musk and Zuckerberg are seemingly fully invested in the process, with ongoing negotiations involving Dana White on the fight specifics.
However, one hurdle to the spectacle is the significant difference in height and weight between the two contenders. But if their enthusiasm is anything to go by, this issue doesn’t seem to deter these tech titans.
