Fights

Video has now surfaced of a brutal brawl the day before Thanksgiving in Saugus, Massachusetts.

Someone used a glass bottle as a weapon during the bloody fight, as patrons duke it out and blood flows freely. Some fighters either ripped off their shirts during the brawl or had them ripped off during the melee.

One man is seen bleeding profusely from his head as 2 other patrons hold him down.

It went down at a family-friendly joint, Kowloon Restaurant. What's a little weird ... there were 6 officers working at the restaurant -- it's unclear why a restaurant needed this kind of police presence. The officers were able to calm things down.

Cops interviewed several people in the fight but no arrests have been made. The PD does say the person who used a bottle as a weapon could be arrested and charged with a felony.

OnlyFans model and combat veteran Joshua Hopkins spent part of his Bahamas vacation in jail -- dude got arrested for his role in a brawl at Nobu, and the whole fight is on video.

TMZ obtained footage of Joshua brawling with other patrons inside Nobu Bahamas on Paradise Island, and you see him landing punches and kicks ... but there's also a woman shattering a glass over Joshua's head!

The brawl went down right in the middle of Nobu's large dining room, in front of dozens of shocked guests and staff ... some even tried to break up the fight, to no avail.

Joshua tells TMZ he'd gone out to dinner with Jason Luv, a famous exotic dancer and porn star during their guys' trip to the Bahamas.

JH says as soon as they got to Nobu, people started coming up to Jason asking for photos -- all innocent enough. The trouble started when Jason went to the bathroom and Joshua alone at their table, noticed a couple staring at him.

Joshua says he made eye contact with them, and the woman suddenly stood up and yelled, "Who the f*** do you think you are?!?" He says her husband then stood up and got in his face, putting hands on Joshua ... and then all hell broke loose.

We mentioned the glass being smashed over Joshua's head in the fight video ... well, he says he suffered a cut that required treatment at a hospital.

While Joshua tells us he didn't want to press charges against the couple -- he thinks they were drunk and didn't want to ruin their vacation -- he says they pressed charges against him! So, cops showed up to his door the next day, and arrested him for assault and property damage.

Joshua says he spent 3 days in jail and had to pay an $800 fine because the couple claimed he ruined their clothing and sneakers during the melee.

As for Jason, who got some extra fame recently for banging Adam22's wife Lena The Plug, Joshua says his buddy was not involved in the fight -- he was actually at the front of the restaurant taking pics with fans when the brawl went down.

El modelo de OnlyFans y veterano de combate Joshua Hopkins pasó parte de sus vacaciones en las Bahamas tras las rejas luego de que lo arrestaran por haberse involucrado en una pelea en Nobu, y todo está en video.

TMZ obtuvo las imágenes de Joshua peleando con otros clientes dentro de Nobu Bahamas en Paradise Island, donde se lo ve repartiendo puñetazos y patadas, ¡pero también hay una mujer rompiendo un vaso sobre la cabeza de Joshua!

La pelea se desató en un gran comedor a vista y paciencia de los comensales y el personal, algunos de los cuales trataron de detener la pelea.

Joshua le dice a TMZ que todo comenzó cuando fue a cenar con Jason Luv, un famoso bailarín exótico y estrella porno durante un viaje a las Bahamas.

Joshua dice que en cuanto entraron, la gente empezó a acercarse a Jason para hablarle y tomarse fotos con él, y cuando Jason fue al baño y lo dejó solo en la mesa, se dio cuenta de que una pareja lo estaba mirando fijamente.

Joshua dice que hizo contacto visual con ellos y la mujer se levantó y dijo: "¡¿Quién diablos te crees que eres?!". Él dice que el marido de la mujer se levantó y se puso enfrente suyo, puso las manos sobre él y luego se desató el infierno.

Ya mencionamos el vaso roto sobre Joshua, y bueno, sobre eso dice que sufrió un corte en la cabeza y que necesitó tratamiento en un hospital local.

También nos dice que no quería presentar cargos contra la pareja —sintió que estaban borrachos y no quería arruinar sus vacaciones—, pero que fue la pareja en realidad la que presentó cargos y por eso los policías se presentaron en su puerta al día siguiente y lo detuvieron por asalto y daños a la propiedad.

Joshua dice que pasó tres días en la cárcel y que tuvo que pagar una multa de $800, pues la pareja afirmó que arruinó uno de sus abrigos, pantalones de jeans y algunos zapatos New Balance en la pelea.

En cuanto a Jason, que se hizo famoso recientemente por tirarse a la mujer de Adam22, Lena The Plug, Joshua dice que NO participó de la pelea en absoluto y que estuvo en la entrada del restaurante tomándose fotos con los fans cuando se produjo la riña.

Patchy Mix is Bellator's Bantamweight champion, but the 19-1 fighter has no doubt in his mind that he's the best in the world, regardless of the MMA promotion.

"I believe deep down, full-heartedly, in my heart of hearts, I actually know I am the best bantamweight in the world."

Of course, different promotions have different champions ... the most well-known Bantamweight title holder being MMA star Sean O'Malley, the UFC champion.

TMZ Sports had a conversation with Mix this week after his impressive 2nd round submission win over Sergio Pettis at Bellator 301 ... and we asked him about his standing in the Bantamweight hierarchy.

"100%. 150%. 1,000%. I don't think I just take them, I'd finish them. I'm a finisher. I'm the best finisher at Bantamweight. My record speaks for itself. 19-1. 15 finishes. I think I finished 13 or 14 out of my last 15 wins. It speaks for itself. I can finish anybody in the world."

On a matchup with O'Malley -- who became champ with a TKO win over Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 -- Patchy is very confident in how he'd fare in the hypothetical scrap.

"Different styles, and I can strike too. I'm very good on the feet, as well. I'm just as tall as [O'Malley]. Just as long as him," Patchy said,

Mix continued ... "I just believe I'm better than him. I think I could finish him within 2.5 rounds. I don't think he'd really have much for me."

Now, unless the fighters move promotions, it's a fight that'll likely never happen.

For Mix, it's an interesting time. Bellator was just bought by PFL, and although it sounds like PFL execs plan to keep the promotion running, there's some uncertainty about what the future holds for Bellator.

4:24 PM PT -- Hayley Burley -- the owner/manager of Shorts Bar & Grills -- tells TMZ ... there was one real troublemaker who started this mess, even though it looks like a free-for-all.

She adds, "Holidays are a really crazy busy time of year and we do everything we can to ensure that everyone has a fun and safe holiday. The man involved was taking swings at my customers. Unfortunately the video doesn't really depict my bartender who was trying to help get the situation under control is having his ankle twisted in the and asking for help. We never condone any type of violence and the police were called and responded immediately."

A security staffer who got dragged into a bar fight he was trying to break up just proves the old adage is true ... no good deed goes unpunished, and sometimes you gotta kick ass.

Check out this wild footage, obtained by TMZ, showing an absolute melee going down late Friday night/early Saturday morning at a joint called Shorts Bar & Grill out in Fairport, NY ... where we're told 4 dudes went at it right on the floor as the evening tipped into midnight.

As exciting as that was ... it was nothing compared to when one of the hired "Staff" security guards stepped in. At first, he was pulling people away and separating everyone -- that is, until someone on the outskirts apparently pushed him down to keep the chaos going.

That's certainly what it looks like, anyway ... and that's certainly how the bouncer took it -- 'cause the guy started wailing on the man whom he suspected of shoving/provoking.

Indeed ... the beatdown he dished out to this older fella is pretty brutal -- dropping elbows on him and socking away. Eventually, they let the guy get up and stumble his way out of the scene. He didn't really put up much of a fight, and it's unclear what happened after.

No word on whether cops were called to this brawl or not either ... and what's even weirder is that this seems to have been Buffalo Bills related (if the jersey'd fan is any indication).

We know the Bills Mafia can get rowdy, but weirdly enough ... their team doesn't even play until Monday. Never too early to let the fists fly, we suppose -- happy holidays, everyone!

Two key people in the viral Alabama riverboat brawl are capitalizing on their newfound fame ... by hawking merch based on the infamous fight.

Reggie Ray, who was charged with disorderly conduct after being identified as the man who whacked a folding chair at several people, and Tammie Howard teamed up with attorney Jehan "J" Carter to launch the new line of merch.

Carter tells us Ray and Howard wanted to create stock of their own after seeing other people selling clothing related to the riverboat brawl -- and using their likeness -- on sites like Etsy and Amazon.

Retailing between $12.99-$59.99, the "Alabama Brawl Collection" boasts a series of mugs, water bottles, hats, sweaters, and hoodies with the most common slogan: "Fade In The Water."

Other taglines from the unisex line-up include "Lift Every Chair And Swing," "Let Freedom Swing," "Chairman For Justice," and "Nathaniel Alexander, He Invented The Folding Chair So That You Could Swing."

Sizes range from S to 3XL, with the site urging people to snag the items to "celebrate the bravery of the Alabama Brawl."

Moving forward ... J Carter also tells us Reggie and Tammy have decided to take legal action against those who've used their likeness and trademarks without their consent.

Dos personas clave en la pelea del barco Alabama que se hizo viral están capitalizando su nueva fama, con una línea de mercancías basadas en la infame pelea.

Reggie Ray, quien fue acusado de alterar el orden público después de ser identificado como el hombre que golpeó con una silla plegable a varias personas, y Tammie Howard, se asociaron con el abogado Jehan "J" Carter para lanzar la nueva línea de merchandising.

Carter nos dice que Ray y Howard querían crear su propio stock después de ver a otras personas vendiendo ropa relacionada con la riña, y utilizando su imagen, en sitios como Etsy y Amazon.

Con un precio de venta al público de entre 12,99 y 59,99 dólares, la "Alabama Brawl Collection" cuenta con una serie de tazas, botellas de agua, gorras, suéteres y sudaderas con el eslogan más común: "Fade In The Water".

Otros eslóganes de la colección unisex son "Levanta cada silla y balancéate", "Que se balancee la libertad", "Presidente por la justicia" y "Nathaniel Alexander, inventó la silla plegable para que pudieras balancearte".

Los tamaños van desde S a 3XL y el sitio está instando a la gente a comprar los artículos para "celebrar la valentía del Alabama Brawl".

Avanzando, J Carter también nos cuenta que Reggie y Tammy han decidido emprender acciones legales contra quienes han utilizado su imagen y sus marcas sin su consentimiento.

Demetrius Andrade wants to fight Canelo Alvarez, finally ... after he beats David Benavidez later today ... the boxer says that's if the Mexican superstar stops duckin' him!

The 32-0 (19 KOs) boxer has the biggest fight of his career against Benavidez on Nov 25. ... going down at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Considering Andrade is an elite fighter in the eyes of many, it's puzzling that the 35-year-old hasn't gotten high-level fights until now. but DA tells TMZ Sports he understands why ... fighters are afraid of him.

"The point [is] that I can really hurt somebody," Andrade said, "I can hurt careers, too."

And, the boxers Andrade says are avoiding him is a whose who ... we're talking brand name boxers like Jermall Charlo, Gennady Golovkin, and Canelo, who Demetrious ripped for taking on weaker opponents instead of him.

"It's a difficult fight for them. It's business, too," Andrade said. "Those are all three guys that trying to save themselves. Fight the easier fights."

"Canelo can end up picking 'em because they're more beatable than I am."

Andrade believes the winner of the fight with Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs) should get Alvarez next ... and of course, he promises that it will be him.

"I'm going to beat his ass!" Andrade said of Benavidez.

"I know that in this fight, there's gonna be a lot of hard punches coming towards his way."

We also spoke with Benavidez about the huge fight ... and he explained to us what a win on Saturday would mean to him.

David also told us how he's planning to hand Andrade his first L ... and he can't wait to knock the guy out.

Swerve Stickland and "Hangman" Adam Page used everything from a barbed wire-wrapped chair to a heavy-duty staple gun to beat the s*** out of each other during last weekend's AEW match. We asked Swerve how he felt after the bloody match, and what part was most painful.

Swerve joined Mojo Muhtadi on "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ... and talked about the Texas Deathmatch at AEW's Full Gear, which Strickland ultimately won. But, he paid a price.

"It was that Hangman Moonsault with the chair and barbed wire. Hangman is a deceptively massive man in itself. Receiving a Moonsault from him at that height and that weight and that speed and velocity already takes a lot out of you," Swerve told us.

"Add in a metal chair wrapped in like probably hundreds of yards of barbed wire wrapped in a spool around it, it just scraped across me, along with Hangman landing across me. Out of all the brutal stuff we did in that match, that was probably the one that stuck out."

With the big match under his belt and Strickland's stock being at an all-time high, we asked him what was next.

Swerve mentioned competing in the upcoming Continental Classic tournament ... but also has his sights set on something more historic.

"I feel like I catapulted myself as one of the top guys in the industry. And I said this before, earlier in the year, I really feel I can be the first African American AEW world champion."

Great matches require two wrestlers putting in work ... and Strickland spoke very highly of his opponent. In fact, he thinks "Hangman" Adam Page could be this generation's Mick Foley.

Swerve Stickland y "Hangman" Adam Page usaron de todo, desde una silla envuelta en alambre de púas hasta una pistola de grapas de alta resistencia para golpearse mutuamente durante el combate de AEW del fin de semana pasado. Le preguntamos a Swerve cómo se sintió después del sangriento combate y qué parte fue la más dolorosa.

Swerve se unió a Mojo Muhtadi en el programa de televisión "TMZ Sports" (se emite todas las noches en FS1), y habló sobre el Texas Deathmatch en Full Gear de AEW, que Strickland finalmente ganó. Pero, pagó un precio.

"Fue ese Hangman Moonsault con la silla y el alambre de púas. Hangman es un hombre engañosamente grande. Recibir un Moonsault de él a esa altura y ese peso y esa velocidad y rapidez ya te quita mucho", nos dijo Swerve.

"Si a eso le añadimos una silla de metal envuelta en cientos de metros de alambre de púas que se enrollaba en una bobina a su alrededor, simplemente me raspó, y Hangman aterrizó sobre mí. De todas las cosas brutales que hicimos en ese combate, esa fue probablemente la que más me llamó la atención".

Con el gran combate en su haber y la cotización de Strickland en máximos históricos, le preguntamos qué era lo siguiente.

Swerve mencionó competir en el próximo torneo Continental Classic, pero también tiene la vista puesta en algo más histórico.

"Siento que me he catapultado como uno de los mejores del sector. Y dije esto antes, a principios de año, realmente siento que puedo ser el primer afroamericano AEW campeón del mundo".

Los grandes combates requieren que dos luchadores se esfuercen, y Strickland habló muy bien de su oponente. De hecho, cree que "Hangman" Adam Page podría ser el Mick Foley de esta generación.

Chaka Zulu won't be charged for the fatal shooting in June 2022 that left one man dead outside an Atlanta restaurant -- prosecutors are dropping the case after Chaka insisted he fired in self-defense.

On Wednesday, Fulton County prosecutors released a statement to WSB-TV outlining their decision not to indict Chaka, who is Ludacris' manager, over the incident.

"The Atlanta Police Department made an arrest on charges determined at a standard of probable cause, which is their duty in this and all cases The District Attorney’s office investigates cases to determine what can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt at trial ... Our investigation of the facts and analysis of applicable law indicates that this is an appropriate resolution of this case based on the standard of proof required. Because the defendant is now involved in a pre-indictment diversion program, we will not comment further about the matter at this time.”

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... surveillance video we obtained showed Chaka and a group of several men, including the slain Artez Benton get into a skirmish outside Chaka's Apt4B restaurant and not too long after, fists were thrown and shots were fired.

Chaka's lawyer Gabe Banks also sent a statement to the local pub ... thanking D.A. Fani Will and her team for their thorough investigation and saying the music industry vet would be focusing on the "nurturing of his family" while also expressing sadness for the loss of life.

Los nuevos tiempos felices entre Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann fueron de muy corta duración, de hecho, pocos días después de celebrar su aniversario de boda, los dos estaban el uno contra el otro... TMZ ha indagado.

Fuentes familiarizadas con la situación le dicen a TMZ que ha pasado una semana desde que Kim y Kroy comenzaron a tener problemas en su matrimonio una vez más. Nos dicen que las peleas eran intensas, como de costumbre, y que esta vez fueron en torno a las finanzas de la pareja y la ruptura de su relación, un tema común que hemos informado en el pasado.

Kim y Kroy permanecieron bajo el mismo techo y las cosas continuaron burbujeando entre ellos.

Nos informan que durante el último período de peleas, Kroy permaneció en el dormitorio principal y Kim estaba en el sótano/suite de la niñera según lo ordenado por un juez.

Todo llegó a un punto crítico el lunes por la noche cuando uno de los hijos pequeños de la pareja llamó a la policía durante una pelea "muy fuerte" entre los dos. Fuentes policiales nos dicen que tres oficiales y un supervisor llegaron a la casa para calmar las cosas y no hubo ningún arresto.

Curiosamente, Kim y Kroy fueron vistos con sus hijos yendo por unos cortes de pelo y Starbucks horas antes de la visita de la policía y todo parecía tranquilo.

El drama es todo lo contrario a la imagen que Kim y Kroy recientemente estuvieron retratando en redes sociales cuando salieron y celebraron su aniversario de bodas el 11 de noviembre con una comida de lujo y bebidas, aparentemente ignorando la enorme montaña de problemas de dinero que enfrentan.

The newfound happy times between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann were very short-lived, in fact, just a few days after celebrating their 12th anniversary, they were at each other's throats ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ it's been about a week now since Kim and Kroy started having issues in their marriage once again. We're told the fights were intense, per usual, and revolved around their atrocious financial situation, and its impact on their relationship.

Translation: back to the common theme that prompted Kroy to file divorce docs, in the first, and second place.

We're told Kim and Kroy remained under the same roof while they verbally sparred, and things continued to bubble between them.

We're told throughout the latest period of fighting, Kroy remained in the primary bedroom and Kim was in the basement/nanny suite -- as ordered by a judge -- but that distance wasn't enough to keep the peace.

Everything came to a head Monday night when one of the estranged couple's young kids called the cops during an "extremely loud" fight between the two. Law enforcement sources tell us 3 officers and a supervisor came to the home to settle things down, but no one was arrested.

Interestingly enough, Kim and Kroy were seen out with their kids for haircuts and some Starbucks just hours before the police visit, and everything seemed calm.

The drama is 180 degrees from what the couple portrayed on social media when they celebrated their wedding anniversary on November 11 with a fancy meal and drinks ... seemingly oblivious to the massive money woes they continue to face.

Speaking of their financial troubles ... Kim and Kroy's Georgia mansion, which was supposed to go up in a foreclosure auction, is still on the market for $6 million.

Uniformed Marines battled civilians during a heated conflict in Texas -- and the wild scene was caught on video.

Sunday night's chaos was filmed by witnesses outside Austin's Voodoo Room, where the brawl erupted after a woman allegedly tried to snatch a cell phone from a Marine.

Check out the clip ... Marines, in full dress uniform, confront the woman and some other men on the street.

The two sides start arguing and shoving each other until one guy clocks a Marine in the head, causing all hell to break loose.

Several Marines go after the guy, punching him in the face and knocking him to the ground.

The soldiers jump on top of him and get in a few more licks before the police arrive and break up the fight.

We’re not sure if anyone was arrested or seriously injured so we’ve reached out to the Austin PD for answers. So far, no word back.

Keep the war on the battlefield next time!!!

Marinos uniformados se enfrentaron a golpes contra algunos civiles durante un acalorado conflicto en Texas, y toda la escena fue capturada en video.

El caos fue filmado el domingo por la noche por testigos afuera de Austin Voodoo Room. La pelea estalló después de que una mujer supuestamente tratara de arrebatarle un teléfono a un infante de marina.

Echa un vistazo al clip, donde se ve a los marinos vestidos en sus uniformes de gala enfrentarse a la mujer y a algunos otros hombres en la calle.

Los dos bandos empiezan a discutir y a empujarse hasta que uno de los hombres golpea a un marino en la cabeza, provocando que se desate el infierno.

Varios marinos se lanzan contra el tipo, golpeándolo en la cara y tirándolo al suelo.

Los soldados saltan sobre él y le dan unos cuantos golpes más antes de que llegue la policía y disuelva la pelea.

No estamos seguros de si alguien fue arrestado o herido de gravedad, por lo que nos contactamos con la policía de Austin para obtener respuestas. Hasta ahora, no hemos recibido nada de vuelta.

Jake Paul's leaving a ton of money on the table in his upcoming boxing match ... telling TMZ Sports he's more focused on being a world champion than selling Pay-per-views.

The 26-year-old Problem Child is facing off against 35-year-old pro boxer Andre August in Orlando next month ... which is a stark contrast from his usual big-name opponents like Tommy Fury, Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva.

Paul says that's by design ... as he needs to take on real-deal boxers to both silence his haters and move toward his goal of being the best fighter on the planet -- even if it doesn't line his pockets like his other high-profile bouts.

"This is probably just a break-even fight for me," Jake told Michael Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show on FS1. "I probably won't even make money on it. Who knows what the outcome is. It's $200,000 for a private jet to fly around just to get me there and back."

But, that's not fazing Jake -- he makes it clear his only concern is polishing his skills and taking on a bigger challenge against a guy with more wins and knockouts under his belt.

"He's a beast, he's a dog and he's coming to win," Jake said of his opponent. "This is his make-or-break moment as a boxer himself. It's gonna be a really good fight."

Jake made a great point -- the entire world has watched all of his fights from the very beginning ... which is unprecedented for someone in the sport. Usually, dudes take on smaller bouts to gain more experience before getting big.

Jake explained he's not going to leave the massive PPV opportunities for good -- which might be good news for former boxing champion Andre Ward, who previously told us he was interested in taking on one of the Paul brothers in the future.
