It sounds like something we've made up, but pop star Justin Bieber has challenged Hollywood actor Tom Cruise to a fight, however, it wasn't any 'normal' fight, it was a fight in the Octagon! For those who don't know, the Octagon, is an arena where UFC fights take place, and according to the UFC website is, 'a neutral arena to showcase the skills of UFC athletes'.
Justin took to Twitter with this unusual request that no one seems to have been expecting. It read, '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 ?'. [sic]
Tagging in UFC president Dana White, Justin appeared to show he was very serious about this proposition! However, despite no response from Tom Cruise yet, former UFC champion Conor McGregor has responded 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'. [sic]
This was followed by UFC Canada's official account responding to the tweet with the eyes emoji, 'š'. Other fans also had their say about the fight with one tweeting, 'I think Tom cruise may be able to mess Bieber up', [sic] and another saying, 'Tom Cruise is a legitimately crazy person. You never fight crazy.'
This unusual request has come a month after Justin Bieber dropped his comeback track, a collaboration with Ed Sheeran. The song, which was released on the 10th May after much online teasing, is called 'I Don't Care' and has a very unusual music video.
Now take a look at some of the biggest collaborations in 2019:
