Fights

Judge Mathis says Faizon Love has one way out of his assault case ... but hizzoner thinks the attack video will be hard to overcome.

Mathis was at LAX Wednesday when he told our photog Faizon should be proactive by showing contrition in advance of his trial.

Thing to remember here ... we got Mathis before Faizon told us he was threatened and had spit hurled his way.

As for how bad the video is on a 1 to 10 scale ... Mathis doesn't have good news for Faizon.

Faizon Love beating the crap out of a valet, and getting arrested in Ohio is really good for biz ... based on ticket sales for his next stand-up show.

As we reported, Faizon was arrested Tuesday after the brutal attack -- captured on surveillance video. The arrest came 8 days before his headlining gig at Funny Bone Comedy Club in Columbus. Perfect timing.

Management at the club says they sold nearly 100 tickets on Wednesday alone ... the day after the comedian's arrest. By comparison, they only sold 24 tickets the day before. The spike puts his 2 scheduled shows on March 15 at just over 80% capacity. Also, management says no one's asked for a refund yet.

As they say, no such thing as bad publicity. Although Faizon's lawyer might beg to differ.

Faizon Love says he flew into a rage at a valet because the guy spit and threatened to get violent BEFORE Faizon attacked ... which is why he's NOT apologizing.

The actor told us he was ticked off about a $1,000 charge for long-term parking at Columbus airport, but says it was the valet who got lippy first ... threatening to "put hands" on Faizon. He says his breaking point came when he turned his back, and heard the valet clear his throat to spit.

The spit is not apparent in the surveillance video, but Faizon insists he did ... it just missed him.

Faizon thinks the guy needed to be taught a lesson about talking smack to people. As he puts it ... real life ain't Twitter.

Louis Tomlinson did more than scrap with a paparazzo -- he also slugged the female witness square in the eye ... according to her.

Ana Becerra gave her side of the airport brawl, claiming she became a victim when Louis' gf went on the attack. She claims Louis jumped in to break things up, and she was shocked when he popped her in the face.

Becerra showed her injuries, allegedly from the fight and says she's planning to sue based on one simple principle -- men shouldn't hit women.

We broke the story ... Louis got into it with a paparazzo who was shooting the 1Der's gf, and then fought off Becerra -- who admits she too was shooting video with her phone.

Louis was arrested for battery and his case is in the hands of the L.A. City Attorney.

Boxing champ Terence Crawford found himself playing the role of referee during a violent girl-on-girl street fight in Omaha ... and one of the combatants was his own sister.

Here's the deal ... a woman named Mystery Wakefield says she was working at the Citi Trends clothing shop in Omaha when she was approached by Terence's sister who wanted to fight.

Mystery says she clocked out of her job (don't wanna fight on company time) and met Iesha Crawford outside ... where they proceeded to throw down.

Terence -- who was recently released from jail -- can be seen trying to break up the fight.

The boxer eventually left the scene, but cops tracked down his car and pulled him over. A gun was found inside the vehicle and he was taken to a nearby station for questioning. He was later released with no charges.

As for why the women were fighting and why Terence was there ... we're still looking into it.

The "Cash Me Ousside" girl is back to her pre-Dr. Phil days ... because cops say they were called to her house and watched her yell and cuss at her mom right in front of them.

Law enforcement sources tell us they were called to Danielle's Boynton Beach, FL home Tuesday on a call for assistance. Danielle's 17-year-old friend, who'd allegedly been living with Danielle and her mom, Barbara, got kicked out by Barb and was giving her a hard time on the way out.

Cops say Danielle got into it with her mom too ... calling her names and cussing at her numerous times. However, things never got physical and cops left without further incident.

It's interesting ... Danielle's friend who got the boot is the same chick Danielle appeared with in Stitches' video ... wonder if mom's had enough?

Faizon Love unleashed extreme violence on that valet in the Columbus airport -- and the surveillance video shows the full brutality of the attack.

Airport officials just released this footage which show the actor and comedian talking to parking staffers, then getting so pissed he grabbed the valet by the back of his head and slammed him into a counter.

It's not really much of a fight because the much larger Faizon tossed the guy around like a rag doll until the guy's coworkers broke it up and police arrived. He was arrested for assault, arraigned in court Wednesday morning and released on $2,000 bond.

We obtained aftermath video, and Faizon was still super pissed.

Faizon Love so badly wanted a piece of a valet ... he couldn't stop talking trash even after the fight was broken up.

TMZ obtained this video shot Tuesday inside John Glenn Columbus International moments after Faizon and the valet got into a fight -- allegedly over how much the valet was charging the actor.

After the valet got slammed into a monitor, another guy stepped in to separate them ... but Faizon was still itching for a fight. Moments later police showed up.

As we reported ... Faizon was arrested for misdemeanor assault. He was released Wednesday morning on $2,000 bond.

Louis Tomlinson's fate in the battery investigation now rests with the L.A. City Attorney.

We've learned cops sent the case file to the prosecutor's office Tuesday, and the City Attorney will now review it for possible criminal prosecution.

As we reported, Louis allegedly attacked a paparazzo Friday night at LAX after the singer claimed the pap was harassing his girlfriend. A woman on the scene also claims Louis attacked her.

The City Attorney could file 2 separate misdemeanor batteries, each of which carries a maximum 6-month sentence.

People familiar with the case file say there's a complication with prosecuting Louis. The photog -- Karl Larsen -- was interviewed by Howard Stern a few years back and gloated about his confrontation with Mel Gibson, boasting his plan was to berate Gibson into going nuclear. The video of the incident doesn't show what happened before the confrontation, and the Stern interview could turn the jury.

The strong likelihood ... there will be an informal hearing in the City Attorney's Office where Louis will promise not to do it again. He could be ordered to take a few anger management classes, but that would probably be it.

Faizon Love got busted for fighting a valet right after touching down at an Ohio airport ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the incident went down Tuesday afternoon at John Glenn Columbus International Airport. The 48-year-old comedic actor allegedly got into a physical confrontation with a valet attendant over how much he was being charged.

We're told the employee suffered minor injuries. Faizon was arrested for misdemeanor assault -- according to WCMH in Columbus -- and will remain in jail until his arraignment on Wednesday.

We reached out to Faizon's camp ... so far no word back.

Nick Diaz says Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre are STUPID for not fighting him -- telling TMZ Sports he'd make them both a lot of money ... but they're too chicken to take the match.

We got Diaz leaving the UFC 209 in Vegas ... and after he was done insulting UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley ... we asked him his thoughts on Bisping & St-Pierre locking horns in the future.

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the frat house fight allegedly involving several members of the Western Kentucky football team ... and it's violent.

In the footage, one of the attackers -- supposedly a football player -- takes a running start and form tackles an alumni member of the Pike fraternity.

After the tackle, several people rush over to the fallen man and begin to stomp and punch him.

According to the police report, the victim says he was called to the location by an active Pike member who warned him that several football members showed up to the house looking to fight.

The victim claims he went to the E.R. for injuries sustained in the attack but miraculously suffered no internal injuries.

Several Western Kentucky Univ. football players are under investigation for allegedly rolling to the Pike fraternity house and beating up two people in a violent masked attack ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us at least 4 members of the team (the names have not been released) are involved in the investigation over a March 5 incident that left at least one man hospitalized.

FYI, WKU was 11-3 last season and CBS Sports ranked them as the #23 team in the country.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, an alumni member of the Pike house was initially called to the scene by a current member who told him "several football players were outside" looking to fight.

The alum says he confronted the men to get them to leave -- but instead, one of the guys tackled him into a fence and began beating him. A Pike member says he tried to break things up and was also attacked. The alum says he went to the E.R. for his injuries.

Cops were then called ... and tracked down one of the football players who admitted he and his teammates went to the Pike house to retaliate after someone got jumped at a Pike party the night before.

Cops say one of the victims claims several of the suspects were carrying guns. At least one suspect allegedly had a box cutter knife.

And get this ... cops say they found evidence on social media that one of the football sent the Pikes a warning that they were coming to attack.

So far, no arrests have been made.

Cops want to have another chat with Young Thug, this time about whether or not he slapped a woman in the face in a nightclub parking lot ... TMZ has learned.

Police were called to Palace nightclub in Atlanta early Sunday morning to respond to a verbal dispute, which allegedly resulted in the rapper hitting a woman he used to work with -- 27-year-old Valerie Raven, aka Akbar V ... according to the report.

Akbar V claims she was arguing with Thug's fiancee, Jerrika Karlae, in front of the club when YT stepped in ... and slapped her on the left side of her face. Akbar said there were several witnesses, but Thug and Karlae had already left when cops arrived.

Law enforcement sources tell us they want to speak with Young Thug to get his side of the story. Akbar filed a report for battery, but cops say videos they've seen of the altercation don't show him making any contact.

We reached out to a rep for YT ... so far, no word back.

Jorge Masvidal has a pretty violent prediction for his UFC 211 clash with Demian Maia -- "Imma f**k him up, man."

Masvidal is coming off a pretty dominant victory over Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone -- and says he's "betting the house" on ANOTHER big victory when he fights in May.

Jorge tells our guy the fight will NOT be the classic "striker vs. grappler" matchup because he's a beast on the mat ... "I can wrestle my ass off."

FYI, Masvidal was a backyard brawler before the UFC and even appeared in some videos with Kimbo Slice ... but Jorge says he's a MUCH different fighter now.

Louis Tomlinson says he was the victim in this weekend's LAX scuffle, but cops beg to differ, and they're sending the case over to the L.A. City Attorney for possible criminal prosecution.

Law enforcement sources tell us, Louis told LAX cops he wanted the paparazzo arrested, but after speaking with witnesses and reviewing video, they determined Louis was the aggressor.

As we reported, the paparazzo made a citizen's arrest after the 1D singer wrestled him to the ground after the photog was taking pics of Louis' girlfriend.
