Pro Bowl defensive end today ... UFC heavyweight champ down the road?!?

Maxx Crosby sure seems to think that's possible ... telling TMZ Sports he could see himself stepping into Dana White's Octagon at some point in the future.

Crosby, of course, is fully dedicated to his NFL career at the moment ... but he says he trains to be a beast on Sundays with daily boxing exercises -- and it's clear, it all could lead to a professional tilt later on.

No 5-star rating for this Uber driver! He delivered a heavyweight punch to an elderly passenger -- reportedly for one simple reason: not enough legroom.

Caught on surveillance camera in Dallas Wednesday ... the Uber driver picks up a couple, but doesn't hit the road right away. A few minutes later, he pops out of the car at the same time as his passenger, 68-year-old Suleman Gauba, and viciously jabs him in the back of the head -- so hard, it sends Gauba crashing to the ground.

The Uber driver looms over Gauba as his wife rushes out of the car to witness the shocking scene.

It wasn't your typical first-class experience on an American Airlines flight when a man allegedly got into an altercation with the woman next to him -- and things escalated so fast, other passengers had to jump in to calm everything down.

The whole ordeal was caught on camera by another passenger ... you can hear one guy sternly telling the alleged aggressor to back off on the flight from Miami, Florida to Charlotte, North Carolina Wednesday -- warning him repeatedly to keep his hands off the woman, or he was gonna end up in cuffs.

"Final stretch," the 58-year-old pugilist said Thursday. "Less than 50 days left."

Donald Trump's supporters seemed to forget they're on the same side ... with a group of men getting into a physical altercation at a Michigan rally for the former prez.

The Trump campaign is hosting a rally at Saginaw Valley State University Thursday afternoon, where large crowds gathered in anticipation of 45's planned address in the swing state. But, the scene outside took a chaotic turn when 3 men got into an all-out brawl in the parking lot of the university.

Dana White dug deep into his wallet, but it wasn't to pay a UFC fighter bonus, or buy something extravagant ... the UFC honcho donated $100K to help people whose lives were turned upside down by Hurricane Helene.

White made the donation online Monday afternoon, using the GoFundMe that says it was launched by his good friend Donald Trump.

"President Donald J. Trump has launched this GoFundMe campaign as an official response for MAGA supporters to offer their financial assistance to their fellow Americans impacted by Hurricane Helene," DT's team wrote, adding, "All donations will be directed to help those most affected by Hurricane Helene. Any level of generosity will go a long way for your fellow Americans who are suffering."

11:57 AM PT -- A spokesperson from the Arizona Department of Public Safety tells TMZ Sports ... the fracas all began after two women pushed each other.

The spokesperson added three men were ultimately arrested for misdemeanor assault.

Several Arizona Cardinals fans whaled on each other in the stands of the team's game Sunday afternoon ... and things turned so violent -- one guy actually left the area leaking blood.

The stands of the Saints vs. Falcons game Sunday looked more like the inside of a UFC Octagon ... as multiple people got into violent fights.

One of the scarier ones happened near the top of Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium- when about four guys began scuffling with one another.

Video from the scene captured by a bystander shows two men in a wrestling match over some seats ... a guy in a No. 11 Falcons jersey was trying to beat up a dude in a red shirt just feet away.

Ailin Pérez may not have gotten her opponent in a rear naked choke during her UFC fight Saturday ... but, she certainly got her own rear working -- twerking in her opponent's face after winning by submission.

Renato Moicano is not overlooking the skills of his UFC Paris opponent Benoit Saint-Denis ... saying he may one day sit atop the division -- but it ain't happening on his watch!

TMZ Sports caught up with the 11th-ranked lightweight contender ... days before he's set to take on 12th-ranked Saint-Denis in his home country of France, and while Moicano sees a bright future for the 28-year-old Frenchman, he's looking to derail his rise to the top.

"I'm here to stop him," Moicano said. "I'm here to get the W in Paris and to keep climbing the rankings."

Devin Haney's clearly still not over how his superfight with Ryan Garcia went down earlier this year ... as TMZ Sports has confirmed he's now suing the star boxer over it all.

The 25-year-old pugilist filed the lawsuit against his nemesis in New York on Friday ... alleging Garcia committed battery and fraud in the leadup to -- and during -- their big April 20 tilt at Barclays Center.

You'll recall, Garcia won the fight after knocking down Haney multiple times ... but the outcome was later ruled a no-contest after officials said Garcia had Ostarine in his system.
