Earlier in the day, he added he was “lifting weights throughout the day, preparing for the fight”, adding that he did not have time to work out so brings weights to work.

“It’s a civilized form of war. Men love war,” he wrote to a fan regarding why the fight is even happening.

Back in June, Elon suggested he was “up for a cage match” with Mark, who is trained in jiujitsu, who then asked Elon to “send me location” for the proposed fight, to which Elon replied “Vegas Octagon,” where mixed martial arts (MMA) championship fights are hosted.
