From past few days, the entire combat community including the hardcore ones, had shifted their attention towards a ‘Celebrity Showdown’ fight between young Canadian sensation Justin Bieber and legendary Hollywood actor Tom Cruise.
The entire story caught attention when Bieber called out Cruise for a fight and asked UFC President Dana White to ‘put on the fight’. The tweet further caught flames as UFC superstar former double champ ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor, offered to host the bout. (via Twitter):
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 ?

“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?”
The bout however did seem unlikely to take place and was thought off to be a PR gimmick. Final nail on the coffin was planted as earlier today Bieber revealed that he was ‘just playing’.
“I was just playing,” Bieber said in a recent conversation with TMZ. “It was just a random tweet. I do that stuff sometimes. I think he would probably whoop my ass in a fight. He’s got that dad strength.”
