The two billionaires have been tossing around empty threats for several weeks while the rest of the world awaits with their popcorn ready, hoping both men meet in the octagon.

Considering both men likely have advisors in their ears telling them exactly this, we'll have to settle for petty back-and-forths about which man is actually taking this seriously enough to fight.
