Justin Bieber wants to fight Tom Cruise in an MMA bout – and Conor McGregor wants to promote it
- Social media has its fun as Bieber calls on the ‘scared’ 56-year-old actor to face him in the cage
- Conor McGregor offers to put on the show – and challenges Mark Wahlberg to fight him on the same card
We’ve seen some freak shows put on in mixed martial arts over the years, but this one would certainly top the lot.
Apropos of nothing, pop superstar Justin Bieber has challenged actor Tom Cruise to an MMA bout and social media is collectively there for it.
Bieber, 25, called 56-year-old Cruise out on Twitter on Sunday night in a grammatically suspect statement.
“I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon,” Bieber wrote. “Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite?”
It wasn’t UFC president Dana White who showed any interest in booking it, though – it was UFC star Conor McGregor who offered to put the show on under his imaginary promotion banner.
“If Tom Cruise is man enough to accept this challenge, McGregor Sports and Entertainment will host the bout,” he tweeted. “Does Cruise have the sprouts to fight, like he does in the movies? Stay tuned to find out!”
