Strickland, a middleweight competitor, is 26-5 overall. He is set to square off against Abus Magomedov in July. He is coming off a decision victory over Nassourdine Imavov back in January. He is currently No. 7 in the UFC Middleweight rankings as Israel Adesanya reigns over the division.

The idea of a fight between Zuckerberg and Musk popped up when he issued a challenge to fight in a cage match with the Meta CEO.

"Send Me Location," Zuckerberg said on Instagram, providing a screenshot of Musk’s original challenge. In the initial tweet, Musk said: "I’m up for a cage match if he is lol."

UFC president Dana White told TMZ Sports he spoke to both multibillionaires Wednesday night and said that "both guys are absolutely dead serious about this."

When asked why White felt that way, he said that "they both said, 'Yeah, we'll do it.' They both want to do it."
