Justin Bieber may have been partying a little too hard when he posted a recent tweet challenging Tom Cruise to a fight. The performer wants to take on the action-movie star in the UFC Octagon in what many would expect to be an extremely lopsided competition – in favor of the Mission Impossible star, of course. Sportsbooks have started to weigh in on the possible match, as well, and have been setting odds, just in case Cruise decides to accept the challenge.
This past Sunday, Bieber tweeted, “I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you don’t [sic] take this fight your [sic] scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite ?”
According to oddchecker.com, Cruise is getting early odds to win at ½. However, Bieber has received 6/4 odds that he would be able to take out Cruise. A spokesperson for the site, Callum Wilson, states, “Cruise’s performance in Far and Away highlighted his (on screen) boxing ability. On the other hand, Bieber seemed to struggle in a scuffle with Orlando Bloom a few years ago.”
Odds Shark weighed in, as well, putting its support behind Cruise. It responded to Bieber’s tweet, stating, “We don’t like your odds, Justin.”
