Musician Justin Bieber challenged movie legend and Top Gun actor Tom Cruise to a fight in the octagon.
Bieber took to Twitter where he not only challenged Cruise to a mixed martial arts fight, but he declared that if Cruise doesn’t take the fight he’s scared and “will never live it down.”

Bieber would then go on to ask Dana White, President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) if he would put on and promote the fight.
UFC bad boy Conor McGregor would note that his company McGregor Sports and Entertainment would host the fight and questioned, “Does Cruise have the sprouts to fight, like he does in the movies?

Not only did McGregor indicate his company would host the fight, but he also challenged Mark Wahlberg to fight on the same card.
McGregor stated, “I challenge Mark Wahlberg on the very same card. Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark, I’d’ve still slapped the ears off him and took my UFC shares back.”
