For reasons known only to him, Justin Bieber challenged Tom Cruise to a fight on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Canadian pop star tweeted to his 106 million followers: “I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you don’t (sic) take this fight your (sic) scared and you will never live it down.”
Bieber asked “Who is willing to put on the fight?” and tagged UFC president Dana White.

UFC champ Conor McGregor answered Bieber’s call, taking to Twitter to declare: “If Tom Cruise is man enough to accept this challenge, McGregor Sports and Entertainment will host the bout. Does Cruise have the sprouts to fight, like he does in the movies? Stay tuned to find out!”
Why Bieber, who stands 5’9”, is suddenly going at 56-year-old Cruise, who stands 5’7”, is anybody’s guess.
So far, there’s been no response from Cruise.
