On this most up-to-date instance, Conor McGregor and Brock Lesnar can step apart, as a result of their incomes potential pales compared to athletic standouts Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

The billionaire beef stems from social media rivalry, and it’s been marinating for fairly a while now. It’s solely this week, nonetheless, that the 2 have mentioned combating inside a cage. White sprung into motion, speaking to each events and revealing he’s very excited by making it occur.

Throughout an look on The Pat McAfee Present, White mentioned a number of the complexities in reserving such an uncommon match up, revealing it might like need to be an unsanctioned exhibition contest because of the dimension disparity. Actually, White in contrast the potential bout to the early UFC open weight class days.

There’s nonetheless a whole lot of issues you would need to work by way of to make this combat occur. However, what I like and respect is that each of those guys are down, they each wish to do it. They each wish to combat, for those who aren’t even combat followers, that is enjoyable. It’s enjoyable to speak about, it’s enjoyable to consider, you recognize me man, I’m within the center making an attempt to place the items collectively and see what we are able to do.”
