In an X (formerly Twitter) post shared by Elon Musk, it is stated that the fight will be managed by Zuckerberg and his own foundations, and the UFC will not be involved in this issue. It is emphasized that the match will be broadcast live by X and Meta and everything that will be seen in the camera frame will include the ancient Roman period. Musk underlines that nothing modern will happen in combat.
Agreed with Italy
Musk also states that he met with the Italian Prime Minister and Minister of Culture and agreed on an “epic” place. Thus, it was announced that the place where the fight between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will take place will be Italy.
Musk also shared a post that reads “⚔️ Gladiator ⚔️”. All these point to the Colosseum in the city of Rome, obviously. A few days ago, Zuckerberg also announced that he suggested August 26 for the date of the fight. Musk stated that everything done will respect Italy’s past and present, and that all of the income will be shared with veterans.
However, Musk also shared the results of the MRI scan, which he said he would enter. Musk said that there is no problem with his neck, but there is a problem with his right scapula. He added that a minor surgery is required for this.
