Fights

There's some truth to the rumors ... with UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber saying he'd consider coming out of retirement to fight T.J. Dillashaw -- but there are some serious caveats.

"First off, the fight for T.J. is Cody [Garbrandt]," Faber tells TMZ Sports ... insisting he doesn't want to "jump the line" and block his good friend from getting a chance to avenge his loss from UFC 217.

But if situation was right ... and the money was right ... 38-year-old Faber says he's all the way down.

And if that fight doesn't happen ... Faber says he'd considering getting back in the Octagon to fight someone else -- but it can't be a nobody.

The so-called 'Catwoman' Jocelyn Wildenstein and her boyfriend have to stay away from each other after their arrests for assault -- which won't be easy, since they live in the same building.

Jocelyn and her boyfriend, Lloyd Klein, were each issued protective orders following their weekend fight which ended with them in handcuffs. Klein's attorney, David Moreno, tells TMZ his client and Jocelyn have 3 separate apartments in their building ... which will help them keep their distance.

Moreno says the court gave them enough leeway they should be able to make it work -- but they have to avoid taking the same elevator. Coincidental passing in the hallway is okay.

We're told Jocelyn and Lloyd have access to different entrances and plan to steer clear of each other.

T.J. Dillashaw says there's NO WAY Cody Garbrandt gets an immediate rematch after their war at UFC 217 -- saying "No Love" has to get in line ... behind Demetrious Johnson!

The UFC bantamweight champ joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs tonight on FS1) -- and told us there's already movement to make a super-fight with Mighty Mouse.

"Dana (White) loves it," Dillashaw said.

A heated altercation between Jozy Altidore and his ex-USMNT teammate Sacha Kljestan escalated into a full-blown war during halftime of an MLS game this weekend -- with yelling and cussing and police ... and it was all caught on video.

It all went down at halftime during Sunday's match between Jozy's Toronto FC and Sacha's NY Red Bulls, where things were already chippy in the 1st half.

Jozy claims Sacha tried to "pull up on me while my back was turned" -- and TFC coach Greg Vanney says he was "ambushed" by 5 or 6 New York Red Bulls players in total.

Sacha's got a different take -- claiming Jozy's the one who started the fight by shoving him into a wall.

Either way, the video is crazy -- you can see players like Michael Bradley trying to keep the peace as cops and stadium security rush in to maintain order.

Both Jozy and Sacha were ejected from the game. The Red Bulls ultimately won the game 1-0.

If Georges St-Pierre beats Michael Bisping, it's gonna be a REALLY boring fight -- which is why rock legend Travis Barker is hoping The Count lights up GSP at UFC 217.

Here's the deal ... the Blink-182 drummer is a huuuuge UFC fan -- loves it -- and while he respects GSP as an athlete, St-Pierre's slow grinding style puts him to sleep.

"I think he's a boring fighter. I think he's always been a boring fighter."

But Barker says he's MOST excited for Garbrandt vs. Dillashaw this weekend -- predicting all sorts of action (plus, he digs Cody's tats).

Quavo and Offset from Migos took a couple of hard swings at a guy twice their size ... and came up short.

The 2 members of the rap trio got into a scuffle Thursday night at the W Hotel off Lexington Ave. in NYC, after their show at the Power 105.1 Powerhouse concert.

It looks like the man was in an altercation with another group of guys before Quavo and Offset jumped in. Some of those dudes might have been in Migos' camp, especially by the way Quavo and Offset reacted. Unclear what exactly set things off.

Law enforcement sources tell us cops were not called to the hotel, so it would appear this one got handled in the streets.

We've reached out to Migos for comment ... so far, no word back.

Ronda Rousey still loves fighting ... but she doesn't have to break arms to be in the scene.

The semi-retired UFC mega-star gave us the low-down on her latest project -- an executive producer gig for the docuseries "Why We Fight."

Rousey told TMZ Sports it's basically a look inside the mind of a mixed martial artist ... and what pushes people like herself to punch face for a living.

"It's not a normal profession or thing to do, but there's always something that drives you towards it and everyone always has their own story."

FYI, Ronda's also keeping busy in the gaming world (Assassin's Creed is her jam) ... and it's looking like she's about to jump ship to the WWE.

Rampage Jackson says there's only 1 way he can get square with Nick Diaz after Diaz tried to swoop his girl -- FIGHT!!!!!!

"Nick Diaz, come to my weight class. You know you disrespected me. You know you was outta order. Come to my weight class, motherf**ker!"

FYI, Rampage and Nick were out partying in Vegas last week ... when Nick made his move in a video that some people think was staged.

But now ... we got Jackson calling out the elder Diaz bro -- even though Nick's at least 50 pounds lighter than him.

Is Rampage being serious? Hard to tell ... but anything to get Diaz back in the cage, right??

Fun Fact: This rivalry goes back to a 100% real (and hilarious) incident where Rampage hollered at Nick's girl inside a Burger King.

Dana White absolutely UNLEASHED on the guy suing Michael Bisping for allegedly attacking him at the gym ... saying the dude is a "f**king p**sy" who talked trash and couldn't back it up.

The UFC honcho still hasn't talked to Bisping about the incident, but says he's pretty sure he knows how it went down.

"I’m sure it’s that typical f**king p**sy who opens his mouth at the f**king gym, and then Bisping goes over and -- I don’t know what Bisping did to him, but now he wants to f**king sue Bisping -- should have shut your f**king face in the first place."

"You’re a clown. Guys like that are a f**king embarrassment," White said on the RQMS Podcast.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... a man claims Bisping went nuclear on him for "taking his weights" at a 24 Hour Fitness in Anaheim back in July -- choking him and almost causing him to lose consciousness.

Now, he's suing the middleweight champ for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more.

Bisping responded to the allegations on Thursday, saying they are "completely inaccurate."

Michael Bisping is calling BS on the man suing him for an alleged choke attack at an Anaheim gym ... saying the allegations are "completely inaccurate."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Bisping is being sued by a man who claims the UFC champ flipped out at and strangled him during an argument over weights at a 24 Hour Fitness on July 31.

The man claims Bisping was the aggressor and severely injured his throat.

But moments ago, Bisping finally responded to the allegations -- saying, "It is completely inaccurate. It is not factual."

The World Series hasn't just been a slugfest on the field ... Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch was involved in a heated altercation after Game 1 and cops were called ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's what we know ... Hinch was hanging out at the bar at the team hotel in Pasadena on Tuesday night after Houston lost Game 1 to the Dodgers.

We're told he was having some drinks -- when some hotel guests came in and started talking trash about the Astros.

Sources say Hinch "snapped" and unleashed on the other patrons -- cursing and yelling in the middle of the bar. One witness tells us the incident turned physical and cops were called to separate the two parties.

We spoke with Pasadena PD and we were told they responded to the hotel at 10:30 PM to help security "keep the peace" during an incident involving Houston Astros "team management."

We're told no arrests were made and no report was taken -- both sides ended up walking away.

Hinch clearly had some fight left in him the next day -- when he led the Astros to a come-from-behind victory over the Dodgers.

Lil B left the Rolling Loud Festival with a few battle scars after allegedly getting jumped ... also minus thousands of dollars in equipment and cash after his bag was stolen.

Based God had been backstage before his Saturday evening set at the Mountain View, CA fest when he says rapper A Boogie wit da Hoodie and his posse jumped him.

Lil B claims during the fight, someone -- not A Boogie -- skedaddled with his bag which had laptops, a camera, and a ton of cash. Our Lil B sources say in all $45k worth of stuff was taken.

Lil B had to cancel his set since he didn't have the gear necessary to perform.

Cops tell us they don't have a suspect.

Warning: Footage of the fight ain't for the faint-hearted.

Uriah Shelton -- known for roles on "13 Reasons Why" and "Girl Meets World" -- got slapped with a restraining order after he allegedly kicked his sorta girlfriend in the stomach.

The woman describes Shelton as an ex-bff with whom she sometimes had sex -- and according to docs, they argued one night when she blocked him from getting into his truck. She claims he reacted with the blow to her mid-section.

In the docs, she says Uriah is a trained MMA fighter, so the blow was intense and seriously messed her up. Specifically ... "inflamed intestines and bruising to muscles." She also claims the 20-year-old celeb threatened her by talking about his firearms.

A judge has ordered Shelton to stay 100 yards away from the woman. Fair to say ... benefits cancelled.

Teresa Giudice's posse was ready to open a can of whoop ass on our guy for asking her if she's broke ... and safe to say our guy learned his lesson.

Teresa and her crew were leaving Catch Monday night in WeHo when our poor bastard faced the wrath of Teresa's friend who threatened to beat his ass with her heels if he asked any more mean questions. Teresa has reportedly been dealing with her difficult financial state, but she blew off the "broke" suggestion.

Eduardo Yanez won't get away clean for slapping a Univision reporter -- not if the reporter gets his way in court ... TMZ has learned.

Paco Fuentes is suing Yanez for the red carpet attack that went viral nearly 2 weeks ago. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Fuentes says Yanez hit him so hard -- as seen in the video -- it caused people around him to "literally freeze in shock."

Fuentes says Yanez continued menacing him by standing and staring at him in the moments after the slap. He's suing the Mexican soap star for assault and battery and emotional distress.

According to the suit, Yanez has shown no remorse because he qualifies his so-called apologies by saying things like, "My private life is not for sale." As we reported, Fuentes had asked Yanez a question about why he didn't pay for his son's damaged car after a car accident.

Yanez told us he IS sorry. He's also under criminal investigation by LAPD.

Meek Mill's gotta give it up to his legal team -- the rapper struck another sweet deal and his assault case has been thrown out.

TMZ broke the story ... Meek was charged with misdemeanor assault back in March after allegedly getting into an altercation with someone wanting a pic with the rapper at St. Louis International Airport.

Fast forward 7 months ... Meek's high-powered attorney, Joe Tacopina, tells us Meek struck a deal with prosecutors to have the case dismissed if he performed community service ... which he did at the Veterans Association in Philly.

The news comes on the heels of Meek's reckless driving case -- where his arrest record will be wiped clean if he keeps his nose clean for 6 months.
