Former ONE FC and Bellator welterweight champ turned top-five UFC contender Ben Askren has called Justin Bieber a ‘wimp’ following the pop star’s callout of Tom Cruise.
Bieber, 25, called for a fight with the Hollywood icon earlier this month but later retracted his comments and said Cruise would likely beat him.
Askren, who will take on Jorge Masvidal in a top contenders bout at UFC 239, agrees, claiming that Cruise is in phenomenal shape and holds a significant athletic advantage over 25-year-old Bieber.
“I’m going to say Tom Cruise wins. Justin Bieber seems like a wimp,” Ben Askren said in a recent interview with TMZ.
