Kansas City Chiefs

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are being called out for allegedly downplaying their role in a Kansas City steakhouse, after being hit with a federal lawsuit ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, the company 1587 Sneakers, which is suing Travis and Patrick for trademark infringement, scoffed at the NFL stars' claim that they were not official members of the LLC used to launch their steakhouse, 1587 Steakhouse.

Travis and Patrick claimed evidence will show they hold no direct interest in, and are not authorized to exert control over, the restaurant.

Elijah Bieniemy told police he needed his guns back because he was a "certified UFC fighter" ... but the MMA promotion says that's news to them.

TMZ Sports reached out to the UFC for clarification -- 'cause ya never know -- after a report surfaced indicating the 27-year-old son of Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy called cops on July 24 complaining his parents were "withholding" his guns.

According to The Athletic, Elijah said he required access to the weapons to defend himself due to his status as a UFC fighter.

But, not so fast.

The promotion tells us Elijah isn't affiliated with them in any way, and definitely isn't a rostered fighter.

Eric and Mia Bieniemy allegedly refused to give their son, Elijah, access to firearms just days before he was accused of shooting his mother ... with the 27-year-old reportedly calling the cops to complain about the matter.

According to The Athletic, Elijah told police on July 24 his parents were "withholding" his weapons ... explaining he needed to be able to defend himself due to his status as "a certified UFC fighter."

Elijah did not appear in court for Thursday's hearing ... nor did any member of the Bieniemy family, according to Fox 5.

Patrick Mahomes Jr.’s dad, Patrick Sr., is begging for permission to stop wearing his alcohol monitoring bracelet due to severe health issues it is causing him, TMZ has learned.

The probation officer requested that Patrick Sr. submit to a voluntary hair-follicle test and a blood test, which he did on July 1 and July 2. The results came back as negative.
