Politics 101: When the talking stops working, the insults start flying ... and sometimes the fists do too ... case in point, this Mexico City Congress session that went completely off the rails Monday!

You’ve gotta see this video -- the chamber podium turned into a full-on WWE ring as female lawmakers started shoving each other, one delivering a back-of-the-head slap ... and got repaid with a savage hair yank.

That sparked a full chain reaction -- the women in the back jumped in, swinging and shoving, turning the whole chamber into pure chaos ... while one guy stuck in the middle, cracking an awkward smile.

A Los Angeles Whole Foods may need to expand its deli ... because a couple customers had some major beef in the store, which resulted in a brutal brawl caught on video!

The incident went down on Wednesday at the Downtown L.A. location ... and, video kicks off with the fight already in progress -- with two big dudes trying to wrestle each other to the ground.

While security half-heartedly tries to break up the fight, slowly trailing after the pair, one guy throws the other into a tower of pastries ... knocking the mountain of snacks to the ground.

The two men end up on the floor, too ... eventually guards are able to break up the pair, though they have to work hard to keep the guys from launching right back into their unscheduled boxing match.

Ring the opening jingle bells ... because this holiday season brought out the worst in a group of Nantucket shoppers -- leading to a brawl in the streets!

Video taken over the weekend is now circulating online ... and it kicks off with a group of people in an argument outside the Nantucket Christmas Stroll, an annual outdoor market complete with a tree lighting and visit from Saint Nick himself.

After some pushing, pulling, and arguing, all hell breaks loose when someone appears to throw a punch -- and another guy jumps on his back to stop him.

A$AP Mob co-founder A$AP Bari was involved in an all-out, no-holds-barred, royal rumble last night ... and authorities are still trying to find out what caused the clash!!!

A rep for the Miami Beach PD tells TMZ Hip Hop ... cops received a call from security guards for a "large fight" at Hotel Faena just after midnight Sunday ... judging from the footage, the call was correct.

The fight appeared to contain about a dozen men -- and one of them got Bari good as the video unfolded by grabbing him by the collarbone and throwing him in the bushes!!!

A college basketball player got brutally posterized in the middle of a game on Wednesday ... and apparently decided to get even by punching his opponent in a crazy scene.

It went down at the Leavey Center with just over a minute left in the Utah Tech Trailblazers vs. Santa Clara Broncos contest ... when SC's Allen Graves threw down a one-handed dunk.

What made the dunk even crazier is that Graves did it right over UT's Chase Trujillo, who tried -- and epically failed -- to block it. Let's just say Trujillo didn't seem thrilled that Graves made a highlight at his expense.

12:34 PM PT -- The NFL just announced Tre'von Moehrig has been suspended one game without pay for "unsportsmanlike conduct."

Specifically, the league said Moehrig violated Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 ... which addresses "any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship" like "throwing a punch, or a forearm, or kicking at an opponent."

Like all punishments, Moehrig can appeal if he so wishes.

San Francisco 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings was on the receiving end of a punch to the junk during "Monday Night Football" ... and he was so pissed about the move, he ended up fighting back after the game.

The attack below the belt went down late in the Niners' 20-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers on primetime ... when Jennings and defensive back Tre'von Moehrig were in each other's faces amid the action.

Jennings was visibly frustrated and in pain over the act ... and after the win was secured, he retaliated by swinging on Moehrig.

MMA Fighter Isaac Johnson has died after being injured during a match near Chicago Friday night.

NBC 5 Chicago reports Johnson collapsed after suffering an injury during his fight against Mario Aleksandrovski at Cicero Stadium.

An ambulance was called to the stadium at 8:38 PM local time to transport “an injured fighter” to the hospital ... and Johnson passed away a few hours later, just after midnight.

There's a huge log jam at the top of the UFC welterweight division, with no less than five fighters in the mix for a title fight against champ Islam Makhachev ... a complicated situation that Ian Machado Garry says will be settled after he kicks Belal Muhammad's ass!

TMZ Sports spoke to the 28-year-old, 6th-ranked challenger ahead of his Fight Night co-main event scrap with 37-year-old Muhammad ... and we asked about the weight class.

"It's the most exciting division in the UFC right now. It's probably the most exciting a division has ever been, full stop. It's an exciting time for my division, and I'm at the forefront of it," Garry told us.

Jake Paul's heading into his Anthony Joshua fight locked and loaded ... El Gallo just commissioned one of the most amazing chains you'll ever lay your eyes on, made with a whopping 364 carats of diamonds!

TMZ Sports has learned the 12-1 pro boxer copped the insanely bling-y piece from famed jeweler, Vobara, ahead of his highly anticipated December 19th matchup.

This chain's composition is wild ... we're told each "round" is loaded with 5 carats of high-quality, oval VS1 diamonds, all mounted with one kilo of 8-karat rose gold.

Ja Rule was involved in an altercation last night at Barclays Center during Brandy & Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" tour stop, and turns out ... that was the height of it. Rumors of him receiving any beatdown are completely false!!!

Ja cleared up all the internet rumors with TMZ Hip Hop ...  “I don’t call police… I didn’t get jumped, they tried tho 🤣." When asked who the guys were trying to put blood in his eye, he simply said, "No clue."

Tasha K -- who's been ordered to pay Cardi B over $1 million in a past defamation, false reporting case -- jumped out on the Ja rumors, claiming the rap star had been turned to orange juice pulp ... and he clapped back at her!!!

Arman Tsarukyan is taking his fight against Dan Hooker head-on -- literally -- 'cause he butted his opponent right in the noggin during a tense weigh-in altercation.

There's some serious beef between these two guys leading up to UFC Fight Night in Qatar -- Tsarukyan wasted no time going after Hooker after joining the promotion ... and it only intensified in the days leading up to the bout.

The two came face-to-face on Friday ... and as they approached each other on the stage, Tsarukyan (22-3) jolted forward and made contact with Hooker's face.

Dillion Danis better keep his head on a swivel ... 'cause the beef with Team Islam Makhachev is anything but squashed, according to the newly crowned welterweight champ's manager, Ali Abdelaziz.

"This is not over. This is not over," Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports on Monday.

"This guy is not safe. Whole Foods, the airport at a terminal, if people catch this guy, he's gonna have problems. He's not done, these people are not done with him. For the rest of his life. [Dillon] or Conor, they're not safe. Or they have to come out and say, 'Know what, we're sorry, we give up. We're done.' Then after that you'll get mercy."

Dillon Danis just got himself blacklisted from the UFC ... because Dana White says the fighter is banned forever after igniting a wild brawl cageside at UFC 322.

The chaos exploded Saturday night inside Madison Square Garden in NYC ... moments before the main card kicked off when Danis got into it with several members of Islam Makhachev's squad.

Videos captured the scene ... showing Danis mixing it up with Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Magomed Zaynukov as security rushed in to break things up.

Dana addressed the melee during the post-fight presser and didn't mince words ... telling reporters he won't press charges, but Danis will never step foot at another UFC event again.

"I was on the other side of the Octagon and go, 'F---, I know exactly what this is,'" White said. "You will never see Dillon Danis at a UFC fight ever again."

Danis, of course, isn't a stranger to Nurmagomedov drama. He was in Conor McGregor's corner during their infamous 2018 title fight in Las Vegas ... the same night Khabib Nurmagomedov choked out McGregor and then leapt out of the cage to attack Conor's corner.

"So You Think You Can Dance" star Joshua Allen's girlfriend is sharing her side of the fight that broke out at his funeral last weekend ... telling TMZ she was invited by family before his aunt allegedly attacked her.

We told you all about it -- Dy'Zetta Brown had just placed a note on Allen's chest and was kissing him goodbye for the final time when she was grabbed from behind by a woman, who Brown says is an aunt on his mom's side of the family, in a now-infamous video.

Police were called to Allen's funeral twice that day ... and, Brown tells TMZ the viral altercation happened after the first incident -- when Allen's maternal side of the family told cops she had a restraining order against him.

"I spoke to [President Trump] about it. He said he'd put in a good word for me, and I think that will probably go a long way."

That's what Bo Nickal told TMZ Sports this week -- just days before the UFC star is set to return to the Octagon following his first defeat in an otherwise blemish-free MMA career -- when asked about next year's highly anticipated fights at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

"I would love to be on that card. It would be a big honor for me. Something that would be very special," the 29-year-old told us, adding, "take care of business, one thing at a time, but it's looking good for the White House card."

For the first time, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has revealed how the rise of political violence has affected his life ... he now has 24/7 security at his home.

He told Tony Dokoupil in an interview on "CBS News Sunday Morning" he's concerned "yahoos" mentioning him on social media could "open the floodgates" for "lunatics" who may wish to do him harm.

He cautioned, "It only takes one."
