Earlier this week, Justin Bieber challenged Tom Cruise, 31 years his elder, to a fight.

I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite ?

Although the oddsmakers had Biebs as the early favorite, we disagreed, arguing that Crusie has "crazy Scientology energy, decades of action hero preparation, and we assume a lot of HGH."

Bieber must have seen some of the bonkers interviews Cruise has done or maybe watched a highlight reel of him running intensely in his films because now he agrees with us and wants no part of fighting Tom.

"It was just a random tweet. I do that stuff sometimes.  I think he'd probably whoop my ass in a fight... I'd have to get in good shape," he said when asked. "I think he'd probably be out of my weight class. You know, he's got that dad strength."

Good call, Biebs.
