Justin Bieber wants to fight Tom Cruise in the Octagon.

We know this because the Biebs tweeted about it earlier this month.

Since then, people have been fixated on the idea of the MMA showdown, which, let’s get real, will probably leave Bieber a bloody mess and Cruise even crazier.

Still, everyone assumed it was a joke – and it was.

Until now, anyway. Here’s TMZ:

We’ve learned last Friday, Ari Emanuel, the co-CEO of the William Morris Endeavor agency that owns UFC — called Justin’s manager, Scooter Braun, and then conferenced in Dana White.

Ari said this would be an epic fight that needed to happen, and Dana chimed in that he was “100%” down with it.

We’re told Scooter then made it clear … Justin would absolutely fight if Tom wanted to do it.

All of these people are idiots.

Everyone is also convinced that Cruise, who has not responded to this nonsense at all, will be down for the fight.

While Bieber waits to hear back from his chosen opponent, he’s been keeping busy.

PEOPLE reported that he gave money to a homeless man (he’s just like us!).

The pop star was seen handing cash to a homeless man outside a convenience store in Miami, Florida, Tuesday.

Bieber, 25, who was wearing a tie-dyed sweatshirt from his Drew clothing collection and purple shorts, gave the man at least $20.

The singer then headed to the airport where he boarded a private plane.

Well, that was thrilling.

There’s also speculation that he’s rethinking his marriage to Hailey Baldwin, according to The International News.

The report citing the source revealed: “Justin’s mind was really messed up. His mind was just not into it.”

“He was really depressed and questioning his marriage,” the source added.

“Hailey appears in significantly better shape than Justin these days. She’s still having her own fun,” it was revealed further.

Is it just me, or is Justin Bieber the most boring 25-year-old on the planet?

No wonder he’s challenging people to fights on Twitter.

I guess it’s your move, Tom. We’re waiting.
