Former UFC referee claims Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg won't break any PPV records
While fans around the world are eager to see Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg enter the octagon, former UFC referee John McCarthy does not seem to be a big fan of the fantasy matchup.
During a recent episode of his podcast, WEIGHING IN, John McCarthy spoke about how this fight does not make any sense. The former UFC referee also lashed out at Dana White for trying to embarrass the sport by pushing for this fight.
While further claiming that Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg won't break any pay-per-view records contrary to what the UFC president believes, John McCarthy said:
"Mark Zuckerberg taking a punch in the face. How do you think he's gonna react? I don't give a sh*t if you're training with people, you can't. It takes time to learn how to freaking take a shot."
He added:
"It is an embarrassment that Dana would say that he's gonna do it. It's a joke, stop! I'm not saying I don't it would get attention, it's not gonna break any PPV f***ing records."
