Conor McGregor can put his checkbook away. Justin Bieber was just playing about wanting to fight Tom Cruise.
Pop music star Bieber, 25, made headlines earlier this week when he challenged 56-year-old actor Cruise to a fight specifically “in the octagon.” Bieber even tagged UFC president Dana White in his one tweet that went viral.
I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. 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 ?
White never responded. But UFC two-division champion McGregor did, offering to host the fight.
BUT STAND DOWN, EVERYONE. BIEBS WAS JUST MESSING AROUND.
“It was just a random tweet. I do that stuff sometimes,” Bieber told TMZ.
“I think he would probably whoop my ass in a fight,” he added. “He’s got that dad strength.”
And you know what? He’s probably right.
