UFC's Tyron Woodley I Gave Wonderboy a Concussion Last Time ... Dana White Calls B.S.
UFC star Tyron Woodley says he beat Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson so badly during their fight back in November, the dude suffered a concussion ... and he should NOT be fighting at UFC 209.
Problem is ... Dana White says he's full of crap.
We spoke to Woodley on his way to Las Vegas for this weekend's fight -- and he told us straight-up, "[Wonderboy] should have had a 90 day suspension. It was was a tough fight. He had a concussion during that fight."
Woodley added, "Any other fighter who has a concussion, you are automatically awarded a 90 day suspension."
FYI, Thompson was never officially diagnosed with a concussion by a doctor and Dana White tells us Woodley's comments are off base.
"I'm gonna go ahead and take the advice of the best doctors in the country over Dr. Tyron Woodley," White tells TMZ Sports.
In an unrelated note, Woodley says his kids are following in his insanely athletic footsteps ... including his 2-year-old girl.
Could she be the next Ronda Rousey? Hell no ... Woodley hopes she's the next Amanda Nunes!!!

Fired ESPN Tennis Analyst Suffers Heart Attack Blames Stress from 'Guerilla' Incident
The ESPN tennis announcer who was fired after using the word "guerilla" during a Venus Williams match has suffered a heart attack ... and claims it was brought on by the stress surrounding the incident.
Doug Adler spoke with Clay Travis from "Outkick The Coverage" and said he was rushed to a hospital Tuesday and is still there today.
Adler says his doctors are largely blaming the heart attack on stress -- and Adler says it's because he was branded a racist by people who incorrectly believe he was referring to Williams as a "gorilla" during the Australian Open.
Travis mentions that Adler had previous heart conditions.
As we previously reported, Adler is suing ESPN for wrongful termination. He previously told TMZ Sports he's "anything but a racist."
UPDATE -- A rep for Adler says Doug did NOT have any previous heart conditions.
The rep adds, "In fact, in Fall 2015 he had a heart test performed and his heart was fine."

Chief Keef took a leap onstage that turned into him taking a huge dive offstage ... and coming dangerously close to busting his ass and his head.
If not for the speedy reflexes of a dude working security, Keef would be in a hospital right now. As it is he survived to finish his show Wednesday night in Grand Rapids.
The rapper better have put his ass on a jet right after the show, in order to avoid big legal trouble. Keef's supposed to be in an L.A. courtroom Friday morning -- he's being arraigned robbery and assault charges for allegedly attacking a producer.

Beyonce Coachella Performance 'Up in the Air'
Beyonce is not saying whether she'll perform at Coachella, and we've now learned she did NOT tell festival organizers she was pregnant when they announced she was headlining.
Goldenvoice -- a subsidiary of AEG Live which produces the event -- did not learn Beyonce was expecting twins until they saw it Wednesday on TMZ ... seriously.
Goldenvoice is playing it close to the vest, but our sources made it clear they're not thrilled they went out on a limb with the announcement, given this is a high-risk pregnancy. Bey is 35 and her first pregnancy with a single child was difficult, requiring bed rest.
Our sources say Goldenvoice still has no idea how far along she is, which obviously becomes a factor for the April event. In fact one source says Goldenvoice tried in vain Thursday to reach Bey or her reps.
A source connected with Beyonce told us the singer still plans to perform, assuming her pregnancy goes well.
That said, we're told Goldenvoice is not worried and doesn't feel pressure to find another headliner. We're told the festival was almost sold out before the January 3 lineup was announced.
As one source put it, Coachella is fluid in that Goldenvoice "constantly talks to bands," so a replacement won't be difficult if necessary.
