When Dana White wanted to put on Justin Bieber vs. Tom Cruise in the UFC

Dana White once refused to rule out hosting a Justin Bieber versus Tom Cruise bout inside a UFC octagon.

The popstar opted to call out Cruise on Twitter back in 2019 and addressed White, asking the UFC president to host the fight.

The tweet generated major traction, and Dana White addressed Justin Bieber's call out during an interview with TMZ Sports. Although the fight didn't materialize, White admitted it was something he seriously considered:

"It picked up a lot of steam and was everywhere. I'm not gonna say any names, but I'm just gonna tell you that I got a phone call from a couple of real guys who said they really do want to do this fight. And they believe that Tom Cruise would do the fight... If that's true and everybody involved in this really wants to do it, [then] we can talk... I'd be an idiot not to make this fight... I didn't think Floyd vs. Conor was gonna happen, anything is possible these days."
