Dana White Brock Lesnar Wants to Fight in the UFC Again
UFC prez Dana White tells TMZ Sports ... Brock Lesnar wants to RETURN to the Octogon ... and White says he'd LOVE to have him back.
Dana was in NYC today getting ready for UFC's Super Saturday ... and told us Brock's still bummed his fighting career ended short due to injury ... and says "he'd like to take another run" in the UFC.
The former UFC heavyweight champ left the world of MMA in 2011 ... after a string of losses that he chalked up to his battle with a potentially life threatening case of diverticulitis (a digestive disease).
Lesnar recently returned to the WWE ... but White says that doesn't mean UFC is off the table -- "I think he wants to do both. When his schedule opens up I think he'd like to fight."

Tito Ortiz Charged with DUI Stemming from Porsche Crash
Former MMA champ Tito Ortiz has been charged with two counts of DUI ... after crashing his Porsche into a concrete median back in January, TMZ Sports has learned.
The 38-year-old fighter was arrested on January 6th ... when cops say he blew a .12 on the breathalyzer, following the 4am crash on an L.A. freeway.
As we previously reported, Ortiz had been partying at the Playboy Mansion in the hours before the incident.
If convicted, Ortiz faces up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine -- but since it's his first offense, he probably won't do any time. Instead, he'll likely only be sentenced to probation and will be required to complete an alcohol education course.
Jenna Jameson Tito Ortiz Will Hang Himself (Figuratively)

Georges St-Pierre TOOK HUGE HIT FROM EX-MANAGER Paid Out $737k After Nasty Split
Georges St-Pierre cut a $737k check to his former manager -- after the woman sued the UFC champ for screwing her out of her contract ... and according to court docs, she could still be in line for a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR payday.
TMZ Sports has obtained documents filed in Clark County, NV which show GSP was sued by ex-manager Shari Spencer after the two parted ways in 2011.
According to another manager who worked with GSP, Georges' relationship with Shari ended "very badly."
Shari clearly felt she helped build GSP's career and therefore deserved a cut of his fight earnings and sponsorship cash.
The court docs show ... the judge agreed with Shari and ordered GSP to cut a check for $737,066.35 -- which the fighter paid back in April.
But there's more ... the judge also ordered GSP to pay Shari's management company the following:
-- 20% of future revenue on various UFC Pay-Per-View fights
-- 20% of royalties earned under a 2008 UFC merchandising contract
-- 5% of future revenues from sponsorships she apparently helped him earn (including Affliction and RUSHFit).
A source familiar with the case tells us ... Shari's final cut could be worth several million dollars.
GSP's had a rough year -- as we first reported, the UFC champ is already stressing out over his sick father and an unplanned pregnancy.
We reached out to GSP's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.
Jenna Jameson I Want Rampage to Kill Tito Even Though They're Not Fighting
Jenna Jameson is now riding Rampage Jackson's bandwagon, hard ... and wants to see her ex Tito Ortiz go down -- because apparently she doesn't know he's already down.
Jenna was partying in Huntington Beach, CA this weekend when we asked if she still roots for Tito ... and she quickly responded, "I'm rooting for Rampage. He's hot, he's sweet, and he's really good at what he does."
Then she smacked Tito in the jaw ... adding, "And he doesn't cry all the time."
Jenna looks and sounds, umm ... wasted-ish -- which might explain why she forgot injury forced Tito to drop out of his Bellator bout against Rampage.
More likely ... she just doesn't care.
Ex-UFC Star Rousimar Palhares We Don't Want Him Either ... Says Bellator CEO
In case you missed it ... Palhares was axed less than 24 hours after his Wednesday night fight against Mike Pierce at Fight Night 29 in Brazil -- where R.P. held onto an ankle lock way after the bell rang, for the second time in his UFC career.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney says he's not interested because, "Risks already exist for the courageous, world class fighters who enter the Bellator cage; without adding further unnecessary risks into the mix."
Sucks for Rousimar -- since a handful of former UFC stars have made the switch to Bellator like Rampage Jackson and Tito Ortiz ... who fight on Pay-Per-View later this month.
Bjorn adds, "Fighter safety is paramount to me and my team."

Jiu Jitsu Master PROTECT ME ... From 5'3" Woman
Jui Jitsu master Rodrigo Gracie -- a member of the legendary Gracie MMA fighting family -- is begging the court for protection against an allegedly drunk and violent enemy ... TMZ has learned.
In one corner ... 6'0", 185-pound Gracie -- a 5th degree black belt and 4-time Pride fighting winner.
In the other corner ... 5'3", 135-pound woman named Tiffany -- who lives in an apartment above Gracie's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu studio in Torrance, CA.
Rodrigo filed a request for a restraining order against Tiffany last month, claiming she's been terrorizing his training center:
"[Tiffany has been] cursing, yelling, hitting my door, hitting the glass ... knocked a hole in my door ... comes drunk every time."
The judge sided with Rodrigo ... at least for now ... granting a temporary restraining order against Tiffany, requiring her to stop pestering Rodrigo and his studio.
The case is due back in court later this month -- when Rodrigo will likely ask the court for more permanent protection from his allegedly pain-in-the-ass neighbor.
Attempts to reach Tiffany were unsuccessful.

"I'm just going to smash her," Tate told us ... "I want her to wake up and see the ceiling and the headlights and me standing over here with the belt on already."
It ain't gonna be easy ... Rousey's undefeated in the world of MMA ... and she's pretty handy with the arm bar.
Still, Tate's confident -- telling us, "I would love nothing more than to break her jaw."

Prince Jackson Jiu Jitsu Badass At Legendary Fight School
Prince Jackson is one step closer to becoming a cold-blooded killing machine -- TMZ has learned, Michael Jackson's first born just earned his blue belt in Jiu Jitsu last week ... from one of the most famous martial arts schools in the world.
It's no small feat ... sources at the renowned Gracie Academy in Beverly Hills -- where the 16-year-old trains -- tell us, there are only 5 belts total in the Gracie belt hierarchy, and it takes a LONG time to move up in the ranks.
FYI, the Gracie family is Jiu Jitsu royalty -- and has trained scores of MMA stars like Brendan Schaub, Nate Diaz, Antoni Hardonk, Rani Yahya ... hell, even Tim Tebow.
As for the belts, blue is the second belt after white -- and in order to advance, we're told students must learn 34 different maneuvers (such as an arm bar, elevator sweep, and a guillotine) each with roughly 4 different techniques.
After blue comes purple, then brown, then black -- and to get to purple, we're told Prince will have to learn an additional 600 moves.
Better start practicing.

MMA Fighter Waylon Lowe Sues Kama Sutra Gel Co. You Wrecked My Penis!
An internationally-known MMA fighter ... claims a gel that is supposed to enhance sexual performance has ruined his ... claiming he now has a bum penis that can't ejaculate.
Waylon Lowe claims in a new lawsuit ... he bought a tube of Kama Sutra Pleasure Balm Prolonging Gel at a Philly sex shop -- which is supposed to desensitize the penis and enhance stamina. He lathered the gel on his junk and then covered it with a Trojan Magnum latex condom and began having sex with his fiancee.
The sex didn't last long, because their baby started acting up in the next room. While the fiancee tended to their daughter, Lowe claims he began experiencing excruciating pain in the penis. He removed the condom and says he was horrified to see a significantly swelled penis.
Lowe says he ended up in the ER and has suffered "catastrophic and permanent damage" to his penis. Among his many beefs:
-- permanent scarring and disfigurement
-- permanent loss of sensation
-- permanent loss of functioning
-- permanent nerve damage
-- loss of life's pleasures
-- inability to ejaculate
Lowe is suing for a minimum of $50k ... we're guessing he wants a lot more.
Lowe strongly insinuates in the lawsuit ... the damage was caused by placing the condom over the gel, despite the fact that the label gives users the green light to wrap it.
The Kama Sutra Company tells us the lawsuit is BS, claiming the product has worked safely without incident for 40 years.
