If Floyd Mayweather ever steps inside the Octagon, Conor McGregor wants to be the guy staring at him from across the cage -- so says Dana White.

We got the UFC prez out in L.A. ... and asked him if there was anything cookin' on the Mayweather-to-UFC front.

Dana wouldn't say anything definitive, but he did drop this pretty cryptic message on us.

"I'm interested and obviously he's interested. The last time we were both interested you saw what happened," White told TMZ Sports.

As for his first opponent -- "Possibly Conor. I know Conor wants it."

BOOM!!!

FYI, Floyd recently said it might be tough for him and McGregor to fight 'cause he'd want Conor to drop back down to 145 pounds, but at the same time -- "if the numbers are right, then we can make it happen."

Here's Joanna Krupa declaring her allegiance to Poland's #1 UFC star, Joanna Jedrzejczyk ... and using some questionable vernacular along the way.

We got Krupa -- who moved from Poland to the U.S. when she was 5 -- in the Bev Hills ... where 'The Real Housewives' star told us she was a huge fan of her same-name sister.

"I love her. She’s Polish, of course I support her!" Krupa told TMZ Sports.

But when we asked if JJ could beat Rose Namajunas in their UFC title rematch ... that's when things got a little dicey.

"She can do it, she’s a Pol**k. Pol**k’s rule!"

"We're driven ... especially if you come from a communist country you have that in your blood."

FYI, the P-word ain't really the most P.C. term ... and Poland hasn't technically been communist in 3 decades.

Hulk Hogan says it's ALL wrestlers he owes an apology to for his past use of the N-word ... telling TMZ Sports it shouldn't just be the black guys he has to say sorry to.

We got Hulk out at LAX, and wanted to get his thoughts on WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry saying that before Hogan is reinstated in the WWE, he needs to apologize to the African-American performers.

Mark's point was that Hogan has specifically offended these men and women, and he should specifically address them before he gets to come back.

Hogan definitely agrees amends have to be made, but says he actually needs to do it across the board.

"I totally agree with him, not to the black wrestlers, to all the wrestlers. What I said was way out of line and I'm forever sorry for that."

Tony Ferguson respects Khabib Nurmagomedov as an athlete ... but says the 1 area he falls short is "mental toughness," and he's gonna expose that next weekend at UFC 223.

We spoke with the UFC interim lightweight champ in the lead-up to their long-awaited title fight ... and Tony told us Khabib's already shown his true colors by botching his weight cut days before they were scheduled to fight at UFC 209.

Ferguson says Nurmagomedov "took food off my kid's table" by getting that fight scrapped ... and he ain't letting that slide.

Fabolous flew into such a rage at Emily B, the mother of his 2 kids, that he punched her 7 times and also threatened to shoot her, as well as her family members ... according to law enforcement sources.

TMZ broke the story ... Fabolous surrendered to police Wednesday night and was booked for aggravated assault and terroristic threats. Emily told police things have been heated with the rapper since early March, when they had an argument in L.A.

She claimed he later sent her a text saying he wanted to hit her in the head with a baseball bat, and would kill her ... but he "did not want to go out like that." Emily claims instead ... Fabolous repeatedly punched her in the face, and knocked out her 2 front teeth.

Emily says she feared for her life, and remembered Fabolous has 2 handguns in their home in Englewood, NJ -- so, she called her father to remove them before Fab got home. She told cops ... Fabolous was infuriated when he arrived at the house to find her father and brother there, and went to look for his guns.

She claims he stormed out of the house, and told her and family "he had a bullet for them."

Canelo Alvarez is suspended, but his rematch with Gennady Golovkin -- only 36 days away -- will go on, according to Dana White ... 'cause there's too much damn money on the line.

We saw Dana in L.A. and asked him about the most anticipated rematch in boxing ... and whether there's any shot in hell the fight happens May 5.

Remember ... Canelo was temporarily suspended after twice testing positive for a banned substance (he blamed contaminated beef). This week, the Nevada State Athletic Commission hit the champ with a formal complaint -- meaning he is facing a year suspension.

Still, Dana believes the almighty dollar will prevail, and come Cinco de Mayo, Canelo and GGG will fight.

"Yeah, I think it will. There's too much money involved."

Heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder says most boxers' worst fear is his fantasy ... telling the world he desperately wants to KILL A MAN IN THE RING before his career is over.

Wilder sat down with Charlamagne Tha God & Angela Yee (DJ Envy probably already walked out of the interview) on "The Breakfast Club," when he made the incredibly frightening statement.

"I want a body on my record. I want one. I really do."

Ummm, yeah. If any of you think he's joking, Wilder actually goes on to give reasons why he feels this way, saying he's not in his right mind when he's in the ring under his "Bronze Bomber" persona.

"That's the Bronze Bomber. He want one. When I'm the Bronze Bomber I don't care. I want that on my record."

In case you were wondering, it DOES happen, and most fighters say it haunts them their entire life. But, Wilder says only part of his split personality would feel remorse, and even then it's part of the game.

"Deontay would feel bad, but we signed up for that."

Yikes. You sure you want that, Anthony Joshua?

The star of "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's" has repeatedly shown he's a violent freak of nature ... so claims his ex-gf Jennifer Williams, who says she's got a witness who can prove it.

Sources close to the 'Basketball Wives' star tell TMZ ... Jennifer's legal team has added Horace Hodges to her witness list in her quest to get a permanent restraining order against James "Tim" Norman. Remember, she already got a temporary order against Tim after claiming he's violent and threatening. He calls BS.

Jennifer's witness -- a former pastry chef who worked with Tim -- has allegedly come face-to-face with Tim's violent ways. He sued Tim back in June of 2017 ... claiming Tim damaged his left eye after punching him with his fist.

Deontay Wilder says Anthony Joshua's so scared to meet him face to face, he's doing everything he can to prevent an in-ring confrontation after his fight vs. Joseph Parker -- including threatening a restraining order!!

At least, that's what Deontay's hearing.

Wilder says AJ was also planning on beefin' up security at the arena ... so he ain't even gonna bother making the trip out to Principality Stadium in Wales for Joshua vs. Parker.

"I'm starting to hear about restraining orders and all this stuff ... I don't think they want this fight," Deontay tells TMZ Sports.

Willder says it sucks they can't square up after Joshua presumably beats the brakes off Parker ... 'cause it'd be the perfect opportunity to promote their heavyweight grudge match.

Deontay wants his fans to know he's sorry ... but promises DW vs. AJ is a matter of when, not if.

7:25 AM PT -- Police tell us Fabolous surrendered around 8:30 PM Wednesday, and was booked for 2 felonies ... aggravated assault and making a terroristic threat.

Fabolous was arrested Wednesday night after allegedly assaulting his baby mama, "Love and Hip Hop" star, Emily B ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources, connected to the couple and in law enforcement, tell us Fabolous turned himself in to cops in Englewood, NJ -- where he and Emily live. We're told Emily first contacted police, telling them Fabolous had hit her.

The rapper was accompanied by his attorney when he went to the police precinct. We're told he did not spend time in jail ... instead, he was cited for the alleged incident and given a ticket for his court appearance.

Hulk Hogan and the WWE might be in talks, but Hulk tells TMZ Sports Hulkamania will NOT be running wild at WrestleMania 34, brother!!!

We got the Hulkster touching down at LAX ... and he immediately shut down the rumors of his 24-inch pythons popping up at the grandest stage of them all next weekend.

"No sir ... no WrestleMania," Hogan said.

As for whether he's ever coming back, all Hulk could tell us was, "Maybe someday, brotha."

Now, we feel like we should mention that Ronda Rousey gave us a solid "no" when we asked if she'd be at the Royal Rumble ... and we all know how that turned out.

Plus, we shot Nick and Brooke Hogan at LAX the other day, and they both made it clear they're 100% behind their dad crashing the party in New Orleans!!

3:31 PM PT -- Mansield PD just released a statement saying the alleged assault was captured on video cameras inside the residence.

Detectives got a search warrant last week, and seized the footage. MPD says they reviewed the footage today ... before an arrest warrant was issued for Boykin.

Cops say Boykin was arrested at his home -- without incident -- and transported to jail.

Bond has not yet been set.

NFL QB Trevone Boykin is in custody after being arrested Wednesday for allegedly punching his girlfriend and cracking her jaw ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Boykin was being investigated by cops in Mansfield, Texas after he was allegedly involved in an altercation with his longtime GF, Shabrika Bailey, last Wednesday.

He has been arrested for aggravated assault with serious bodily injury.

TB -- who was cut by the Seahawks on Tuesday -- vehemently denied any involvement in a physical fight with Bailey.

However, Bailey -- in an interview -- told a different story, claiming Boykin choked her and broke her jaw before finally taking her to the hospital for treatment.

Tommy Lee has changed his tone over his son, Brandon Lee, 'cause he now wants nothing but reconciliation between father and son ... but it may be too late.

Sources close to Tommy tell TMZ he and his fiancee, Brittany Furlan, saw the message Brandon delivered to his father through our photog ... that he loves his dad, and wants to make amends.

We're told that struck a chord with Tommy, to the point that he now simply wants peace with his boy ... and that he's now unsure if he still wants Brandon prosecuted in his looming battery case. As we reported ... the case is being sent to the D.A.'s Office soon.

Even if Tommy does change his mind, it may not be up to him to drop the charges. The decision on whether to prosecute is out of his hands once the case is sent to the D.A.'s desk -- they'll decide whether to move forward or not.

Still, sources say Tommy thought what Brandon said was "very sweet" and that he, of course, loves his son as well.

Chrissy Teigen knows who bit Beyonce on the face but she's not ready to give up the culprit just yet ... out of love.

Chrissy's been dropping more than a few hints she knows who dunnit, ever since Tiffany Haddish recounted the story of an actress daring to nibble on Queen Bey's face during a party in December.

We asked Chrissy for a couple of hints Tuesday outside 30 Rock in NYC ... and she was wary of giving the Beyhive too much info to close in on the suspect. Plus, she loves Bey AND the biter!

As Tiffany tells it, Beyonce remained calm because she thought the actress was "on drugs" -- which might explain why no one has copped to it.

Former WWE world champ Mark Henry ain't slammin' the door on his career in the ring ... saying there's still a chance he'd come back even though he's technically retired.

We spoke to The World's Strongest Man ahead of his WWE Hall of Fame induction at WrestleMania 34 in April ... and Mark told us he's too beat up to compete in the next year or two, at least.

But, could the right matchup lure him back inside the squared circle?

"If it was a perfect circumstance and something happened down the road, yeah," Henry told TMZ Sports.

Ain't the first time Mark's pulled the ol' switcheroo ... he had the entire WWE universe fooled with his infamous retirement speech back in 2013 ... before he flipped the script and body-slammed his rival, John Cena, straight through the mat!!

For his HOF induction, some fans figured Cena would get to do the honor ... but Mark says he actually has another BIG WWE superstar in mind (hint, hint).

"Juju on That Beat" rapper Zay Hilfigerrr's being accused of beating up his roommate, and cops were called after the latest alleged attack ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops responded to a 911 call from Zay's home in North Hollywood last week by his roommate, who claimed he was being attacked by the rapper with a fire extinguisher.

We're told the roommate backtracked on the call and told them he wasn't physically harmed ... it was a verbal attack. However, he did say he'd been assaulted twice before on separate occasions ... also with a fire extinguisher.

Our sources say when cops arrived, peace was restored while Hilfigerrr got his stuff out of the place and told them he'd stay somewhere else for the night. No report was taken for a crime.
