UFC president Dana White continues to not rule out a celebrity fight between Justin Bieber and Tom Cruise.

Earlier this month, Bieber called out Cruise for a fight and notably tagged White in the tweet. Of course, he would later claim he was just kidding. However, White later revealed he had been contacted by “a couple of real guys” about potentially making the fight happen.

Whether it happens or not, the UFC boss is all in if every party is interested and believes it would be the biggest pay-per-view of all time:

“I should have known this was going to be the first question,” White said at a recent Q&A (via MMA Junkie). “Listen, if I can make that fight, I’d be all over that fight. It’d be the biggest pay-per-view in the history of pay-per-view.”

“It is true,” White continued when asked if he was contacted about making it happen. “As crazy as that sounds, that is true. … I don’t want to use any names, but I was at home on a Sunday, and I got a call with two big guys on the phone. They were telling me this could possibly happen and this could be real. I’m like, there’s no way that this is really going to happen. But if it does, call me back. I’m in.”

As ridiculous as it may sound, it’s hard to see White passing up on the opportunity to promote the fight. After all, it’s two worldwide celebrities and even if it ends up being a train wreck, the money involved would be massive according to White:

“Oh my god, it would be massive,” White added. “It would be massive. Everybody laughed when we talked about this, so you’ve heard of it. Who wouldn’t watch that? Everybody would watch it. It’s a complete train wreck, and I love it, and I’m in. I’m in. …I can’t even believe this is what we’re talking about right now.”

Would you also watch this fight if it happened?

Dana White isn’t playing around when he says he’s open to booking a celebrity mixed martial arts (MMA) fight between Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, White revealed that he recently received phone calls from “a couple of real guys” who suggest Tom Cruise would do the fight. If both parties are open to it, White would like to book Bieber vs. Cruise inside the Octagon:

“So I’m going to tell you something interesting,” White said. “So, obviously this thing came out – lots of people will talk about fighting somebody in the UFC and things like that – whether it’s NFL players or celebrities or whatever. It happens a lot. So, obviously I saw it like everybody else did, and I didn’t pay much attention to it. The thing with – you know, it picked up a lot of steam and it was everywhere.

“I’m not going to say any names, but I’m just gonna tell you that I got a phone call from a couple of real guys, who said that they really do want to do this fight, and they believe that Tom Cruise would do the fight. And I told them, I’ll tell you this, if that’s true and everybody involved in this thing wants to do it, we can talk.”

When pressed on if he’d truly book Bieber vs. Cruise, White claimed he’d be an idiot not to. He also said it’d be the easiest fight of his career to promote. He no longer doubts any fight is possible after the madness that was Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor:

“Let me tell you what, I’d be an idiot not to make this fight,” White said. “I didn’t think the Floyd-Conor fight was gonna happen and it did. Let me tell you what, anything is possible these days. Anything is possible. That would be the easiest fight to ever promote, in the history of my career.”

Dana White Open To Booking Justin Bieber vs. Tom Cruise: ‘We Can Talk’

If Justin Bieber is serious about fighting Tom Cruise, UFC President Dana White seems open to the idea of booking the fight.

If Justin Bieber is serious about fighting Tom Cruise, UFC President Dana White seems open to the idea of booking the fight.

White was recently a guest on LVSportsBiz’s Guerilla Cross Radio, and was asked about Bieber calling out the Hollywood star. The UFC boss admitted that he wasn’t sure if Bieber was serious. He hasn’t been contacted by the pop star, and isn’t even sure if Cruise is willing to fight at his age.

However, if both parties were interested, White simply said, “we can talk” (via MMA Mania):

”I didn’t know if it was real or not,” White said “I still don’t know if it’s real. Everybody is talking about it, but Justin hasn’t contacted me. Listen, first of all, maybe Justin Bieber wants to fight Tom Cruise for whatever reason. I highly doubt Tom Cruise wants to fight Justin Bieber.

“I’m 50, I think Tom Cruise is 56. I don’t think anyone who’s 56 is looking to fight anybody. But I’ll tell you this, if Justin Bieber wants to fight Tom Cruise, and Tom Cruise wants to fight Justin Bieber, we can talk.”

Last week Bieber randomly called out Cruise on Twitter, tagging Dana White in the Tweet asking him to book a fight between them in the Octagon. The callout, for whatever reason, actually got the fight world buzzing a bit. However, Bieber later clarified he was only kidding and admitted Cruise would probably mop the floor with him.

Still, if both Bieber and Cruise decide to actually fight for the easy cash grab, it’s an interesting thought to consider that White is at least open to the idea.

As expected, Justin Bieber wasn’t being serious when he challenged Tom Cruise to an MMA fight, and now he has backed down from the talk.

Bieber backtracked on the would-be celebrity fight while doing a recent interview, where he admitted that he would have to get into great shape and most likely lose:

“I was just playing,” Bieber told TMZ. “It was just a random tweet. I do that stuff sometimes. I think he would probably whoop my ass in a fight. I’d have to get super in shape, I’m really skinny right now. I think he’d probably be out of my weight class. He’s got that dad strength.”

Former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor even expressed his interest in fighting Mark Wahlberg on the same card as the proposed Cruise vs Bieber bout. Both fights won’t take place obviously.

In the world of entertainment, there are various call outs, but Bieber had people buzzing about the fight, especially given there was no plausible reason for it. It all started with a random challenge via Twitter, as the pop star asked Dana White to make the fight inside the Octagon.

As a result, this caught the attention of McGregor, who tried his best to make the fight happen. He even offered to promote the fight. It turns out that Bieber doesn’t want to share the cage with Cruise. If the fight did get booked then there would’ve been a strong possibility of an instant money-grab.
