Fights

WWE superstar Big Show is finally responding to Shaquille O'Neal's big fight challenge -- COME AND GET SOME!!!

Vince Neil is denying dragging an autograph seeker to the ground by her hair, but according to law enforcement -- and surveillance video -- he did enough damage to warrant a citation.

Sources close to the Motley Crue frontman tell us the woman was "very aggressive" in her efforts to get an autograph from Vince and Nicolas Cage, who were having lunch in the Aria Hotel and Casino. We're told Vince admits he was annoyed and "pushed past her" ... but insists he did not grab her by her hair.

TMZ broke the story ... we got video of Vince fighting with Nic outside Aria. We're told Vince was pissed about what went down inside the hotel, because at that point hotel security had held them for an hour -- and police had already ticketed him for battery.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers reviewed the casino's surveillance footage before issuing the citation.

Some call it a video game simulation, Matt Barnes calls it a preview of real life.

The NBA star tells TMZ Sports he's seen the UFC video game brawl between him and Derek Fisher -- and says the way he whooped D-Fish's ass in the game is EXACTLY how it would go down for real.

"My kids showed me that," Barnes says ... "That's what would really happen if it came down to it."

Barnes also told us he doesn't need an Octagon -- he'll fight Fisher anywhere.

There's more ... we also asked asked Matt about the shout-out he got in Kanye West's song "30 Hours" -- where Kanye raps about driving 90 miles to whoop someone's ass like Matt Barnes.

"I heard it man. It was dope!"

Check out the clip.

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme got into a nasty name-calling exchange with a fan waiting for an autograph, and things nearly got physical.

TMZ got this video of Homme berating the guy -- who says he's a teacher -- Thursday night in Detroit. Homme was leaving an after-party for one his shows, and sources outside tell us the teacher asked for his John Hancock.

We're told Homme thought the guy was just trying to sell autographed memorabilia, and wasn't a real fan. Watch how the singer blew up, calling the guy a "f***ing loser" and a "spoiled mother f***er."

Vince Neil and Nic Cage got in a huge physical fight in Las Vegas Thursday, after Vince allegedly attacked a woman in a hotel ... and Vince is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

Law enforcement sources tell us the fight went down at around 5 PM at Aria Hotel on the Vegas strip. We're told Nic and Vince were inside when a woman came up to Nic and asked for an autograph. Our sources say Vince allegedly got behind the woman, grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to the ground.

The video we got shows the end of a fight between Vince and Nic. Our sources tell us Nic was trying to restrain Vince and calm him down, taking him outside the hotel and into a car. Nic is screaming at Vince, imploring him to calm down.

A jury has found NY Jets superstar Brandon Marshall did NOT obliterate a woman's face during a melee outside of a NYC nightclub back in 2012.

Marshall had been sued by Christin Myles -- who claimed Marshall punched her so hard outside of Marquee nightclub that she now suffers from severe headaches, sensitivity to light and has reccurring head and neck pain.

Myles submitted security video which she claimed proved Marshall punched her -- but the video was grainy and clearly the jury didn't feel it definitively showed Brandon delivering the blow.

If Jon Jones loses his comeback fight against Ovince Saint Preux, he could lose more than just his pride ... he might lose his shot to get his title back ... so says Joe Rogan.

The UFC's chief color commentator was at LAX when we asked how he felt about Jones accepting a fight with a replacement for Daniel Cormier at UFC 197 on April 23rd ... after D.C. backed out with an injury.

"I was hoping it was going to be Rumble Johnson," Rogan said ... "That coulda been interesting."

So, why is the OSP fight such a huge risk for Jon?

"If [Jon] loses, he probably loses that shot [at the title] I would imagine."

Paige VanZant saw video of the brawl involving Derek Wolfe ... and the UFC star thinks the Broncos DE may have a future after he retires from the NFL ... as a UFC FIGHTER!!

TMZ Sports caught up with Paige Tuesday afternoon in L.A. ... and seeing as she punches people in the face for a living ... we asked her to break down the Derek Wolfe bar fight footage.

Check out the clip ... if PVZ's right, it might not be too long before you see big DW inside the Octagon.

Broncos star Derek Wolfe says someone clocked him with an object -- possibly a bottle -- during that nightclub brawl ... and new video of the incident could back him up.

TMZ Sports just got this new angle of the fight that went down in a Denver nightclub Saturday night. This footage shows more of the fight, and it looks like someone does strike the Super Bowl champ in the head multiple times.

It's unclear what, if anything, was in the attacker's hand.

According to his agent Mike Simon ... Derek "did not provoke the fight. He was trying to protect a friend. His recollection is that he was hit from the back with an object when he wasn't looking."

As TMZ Sports first reported, police were NOT called to the scene during or after the brawl. Witnesses said Wolfe's face was bleeding has he left the club.

Columbus Short is boozing hard and terrorizing the woman he lives with ... IF you buy her version of what's happening in their home -- which a judge did -- but Columbus says she's delusional.

Karin Short was granted a temporary restraining order against the ex "Scandal" star on Monday, and Columbus was ordered to move out. In docs, Karin says Columbus' drunken tirades happen at least 3 times a week. She says during one incident he kicked down the door to their bedroom where she was hiding.

But Karin says the last straw was when Columbus allegedly threatened her 18-year-old son, saying he would "whoop his ass like a man." She tells TMZ she doesn't want a divorce -- the TRO is tough love so Columbus realizes he needs to get treatment for his drinking.

For his part, Columbus also doesn't want a divorce, because he tells us THEY'RE NOT MARRIED. In fact, he dismisses her accusations as total BS.

Broncos star Derek Wolfe tried to knockout someone during a Denver nightclub brawl, and TMZ Sports has insane footage of him uncorking the punch.

The video shows Wolfe in a black shirt with a chain around his neck, and at 6'5", 285 pounds he dwarfed everyone around him inside VIE Nightclub on Saturday night.

Wolfe's massive body is shielding the action when the fight starts, but witnesses say a guy was talking trash to Wolfe and his friends. When the pushing and shoving starts some much smaller people feebly try holding back Derek.

Remember, this is the guy who told Tom Brady he was going to "eat his kids."

Wolfe definitely swung HARD into the scrum, but it's unclear if he connected with anyone. Witnesses tell us Derek got hit in the face with a glass bottle, and left the club bloodied. Police were not called to the club.

We reached out to Wolfe's reps ... so far no word back.

Derek was in a much better mood earlier in the night when he mugged with the chefs at a nearby restaurant.

The melee that erupted around Kylie Jenner -- between a defensive grandfather and photogs -- was fueled by alcohol ... according to the grandpa's family.

We spoke to the mother of one of the 3 girls who were waiting for Kylie outside The Nice Guy Saturday night ... when the girls' grandfather opened a can of whoopass on the paps.

Sporting overalls and a cig hanging out of his mouth -- gramps looked like he was straight out of central casting, but his daughter says the fight wasn't an attempt to grab the spotlight ... it's just that he was drunk.

The mother, who wants to remain anonymous, tells us grandpa had a few drinks before going out, and then some more at a bar in Hollywood. She says the family had gone to The Nice Guy specifically to see KJ, because her 11-year-old daughter and her 2 friends are obsessed.

She says the girls are now grounded from following Kylie because she doesn't want people thinking they're stalkers. As for grandpa -- she insists he's normally a "warm, caring man."

LeSean McCoy is officially off the hook in the Philly bar brawl ... with the District Attorney saying McCoy WILL NOT be charged for his alleged role in the fight ... saying there was "insufficient evidence."

The incident -- which went down at Recess Lounge on February 7th -- left two off-duty police officers with serious injuries.

Philly D.A. R. Seth Williams -- speaking at a press conference -- said his office received conflicting accounts of the incident ... and couldn't determine who started the fight.

Story developing ...

Kylie Jenner finally gave three young girls the selfies they'd been dying to get -- a totally sweet moment -- and then their grandfather got into a melee with photogs capturing that moment. So sweet.

Kylie was rushing out of The Nice Guy when the girls popped up and took their shot, and this time KJ obliged. But check out the video, 'cause the girls had their own protection this time.

After what went down at Craig's last week, it looks like grandpa -- the guy in overalls -- wasn't gonna let his little angels get shoved around. The brawl is insane, and gramps was the one who refused to cool down!

Maybe Kylie was right to just keep it moving.

50 Cent took a big swipe at one of his fans when a bunch of fights broke out around him during a nightclub appearance.

Fiddy was performing at Stage 48 in NYC on Saturday night -- standing right in the middle of the crowd -- when several people started pushing and shoving. 50 stood his ground and tried to keep performing, until things got out of hand.

In the video, you see one person reach up and grab Fif's t-shirt. Bad move on that person's part, 'cause the rapper reacted with the quickness.

Katt Williams is in custody again -- cops scooped him up Wednesday for that brawl with a 17-year-old.

Gainesville PD in Georgia tell TMZ ... officers showed up at Katt's house and arrested him. As we told you, an arrest warrant was issued on Monday. Katt was booked around 2:30 PM, and will be held until his court appearance Thursday.

You'll remember ... Williams was seen in a video last week punching 17-year-old Luke Wash after a soccer game. Both Katt and Wash were charged with disorderly conduct.

Luke turned himself in on Monday.
