Conor McGregor hopes to stage the biggest celebrity fight in recent memory.
Pop music star Justin Bieber challenged film star Tom Cruise to a fight inside an octagon Sunday night, generating massive attention on social media. Bieber sought a promotion company to host the fight, and McGregor gleefully pitched his firm’s services for what might be a spectacle for the ages.
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?

At least one active MMA fighter, UFC’s Diego Sanchez, wouldn’t mind watching Bieber, 25, fight Cruise, 56.
