WATCH: Justin Bieber challenges Tom Cruise to a fight, Conor McGregor offers to host

For some reason that no one has yet to figure out, Justin Beiber challenged Tom Cruise to an MMA battle Sunday night via Twitter.

The Biebs added a (soft) threat that Cruise was scared and would “never live it down,” if he didn’t accept the invite to fight. The 25-year-old pop star tagged UFC President Dana White in the tweet asking the 56-year-old movie star to fight him, wanting White to put on the fight.

White has not publicly acknowledged the tweet as of mid-day Monday, but Conor McGregor answered the call. About an hour after Beiber’s initial tweet, McGregor quote tweeted JB, saying “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!”
