In a clash for the ages between two of the world's richest tech titans, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have vowed to throw it down in a cage fight in Las Vegas.

While Musk is by far the richer of the two and is both heavier and taller than his Meta counterpart, Zuckerberg poses a serious threat, thanks to his keen passion for Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

The Facebook founder posted on his Instagram Stories asking Musk to 'send me the location' after Musk tweeted on Wednesday night bragging that he was 'up for a cage match if he is'.

In response to an article by The Verge about the proposed fight between the two tech giants, Musk responded to the location by tweeting: 'Vegas Octagon'. 

The Octagon is the official competition mat and fenced-in design for Ultimate Fighting Championship cage fights. 

The social media taunts - fittingly delivered on the respective platforms owned by the billionaires - set the stage for a Silicon Valley rumble that would dwarf the magnitude of the string of celebrity bouts that have been big hits in Las Vegas. 

Analyzing both Musk and Zuckerberg across a more unorthodox tale of the tape, DailyMail.com sizes up the contest between the two.

Age, height and weight differences 

With Musk 12 years his senior, Zuckerberg would hope to be able to run rings round the Tesla chief.

Coming in at 5'7' and weighing around 70kg, Zuckerberg is the lighter and more nimble of the two and has previously fought and won in jiu-jitsu matches. 

Zuckerberg recently picked up two medals in a jiu-jitsu tournament and has said in the past that his diet is more vegetarian based.
