Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk? Ilia Topuria shines. Look ahead to UFC 290 | Cageside

On this episode, Eric and John discuss how big a Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk fight could really be, who would have the advantage, and the hurdles that may come up trying to book the fight. Ilia Topuria picks apart Josh Emmett at UFC on ABC 5. Should Emmett’s corner have thrown in the towel? Maycee Barber makes it five in a row after an ultra-impressive victory over Amanda Ribas, and possibly the worst eye-poke of all time.
