(Dana White is the current president of the UFC, and as of this writing, he has not replied to Bieber’s tweet.)

UFC champ Conor McGregor chimed in after Bieber’s challenge, saying that if Cruise is “man” enough to face off with Bieber, his McGregor Sports and Entertainment would host the bout.

McGregor also offered to fight actor Mark Wahlberg, after asking if Cruise had “the sprouts to fight.”

Over the last few months, Bieber has been relatively under the radar, launching his own all-natural deodorant line and collaborating with artists like Gucci Mane and Ed Sheeran.
