Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg say they are ready for a cage fight

Business rivalry apparently isn't enough for two of the tech industry's best billionaires. Now Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg say they want to make their decision in a cage fight.

The Twitter owner and CEO of Tesla ( TSLA ) and Musk recently said they are "getting ready for a cage fight" with the CEO of Meta and Zuckerberg. In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Zuckerberg posted a screenshot of Musk's tweet in response to a post with the caption: "Sent me the location".

Musk then responded to a tweet from tech news website Verge editor Alex Heath about the fight with "Vegas Octagon" — a reference to the Las Vegas arena that hosts the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Meanwhile, bookmaker Paddy Power is betting the match never takes place, but if it does, both men have an equal chance of winning.

"If this fight actually goes ahead, with a bit of luck, they'll both see each other out," a spokesman for the Irish company said in a statement.
