There have been further developments in the potential UFC fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise.
TMZ reports that discussions have taken place about the 25-year-old pop star taking on the 56-year-old actor in the octagon. Ari Emanuel, the co-CEO of the William Morris Endeavor agency that owns UFC, reportedly called Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun and then spoke with UFC president Dana White about the logistics of this hypothetical matchup. During the conversation, Emanuel said he would love to make this fight happen while White added on that he was “100%” down with a fight between Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber. To add onto the madness, Emanuel mentioned that he strongly believes Tom Cruise would agree to the fight.
Dana White also told TMZ Sports earlier this week that he would fully support promoting the fight between Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber.
“I told them that if that’s true — and everybody involved really wants to do it — we can talk. That would be the easiest fight to promote in the history of my career.”
Only time will tell if this is just blatant publicity or something that will actually materialize into a real fight between Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber.
