File this one under ‘previously unsaid sentences in human history’: Justin Bieber has challenged Tom Cruise to a UFC fight. The BBC are calling it “the contest Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans never knew they wanted,” and now that it’s out into the universe, where will this one go?
The challenge came without context last night via Bieber’s Twitter account. “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 [sic],” tweeted the Biebs. He then asked “Who is willing to put on the fight?” tagging Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
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 ?

There’s really not much more to it than that just yet, but as with anything like this goes, the internet has begun to speculate.
Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun added to the conversation yesterday, quote-tweeting an article from Billboard about the topic. He said it’s “Just a normal Sunday” for Bieber, something about “crushed glass knuckles” and that if it takes place, it should be a charity event.
Of course he did. Just a normal Sunday. But I have no interest in watching or helping in making this happen unless it includes crushed glass on the knuckles and a live bear released in to the octagon in the 4th round. Oh and the money should go to charity of course. https://t.co/Bq2RIUuLp7

Former UFC champ Conor McGregor jumped in, offering to host the clash and then went on to challenge Mark Walhberg on the same card.
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! https://t.co/TxsH9KUyFg— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) June 10, 2019
I challenge Mark Walhberg 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.#Shares #Streams #Dazn #Espn

Tom Cruise has yet to respond, but we’re hoping he does. More on this as it develops.
