Dominick Cruz has a message for Cody "No Love" Garbrandt -- he's going to torture him so badly at UFC 207, Cody's going to "beg me" to end the fight.

Cruz -- the reigning UFC bantamweight champ -- joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Thursday night on FS1) and let the insults fly on his next opponent.

FYI, Cody's 10-0 with 9 knockouts -- and vows to break Cruz's jaw.

Cruz says he's not afraid -- insulted Cody's intelligence -- and then told us why "No Love" will be begging for the champ to put him out of his misery.

Pretty violent stuff.

Ray Lewis says he's 1000% behind Colin Kaepernick's protest for social justice ... but when it comes to making change it's gonna take more than kneeling to uplift black Americans.

Lewis co-hosted the "TMZ Sports" TV show and got more in-depth then ever on his feelings on Kaep's stand -- and what he thinks needs to be done to make actual change in the black community.

"Kaep, I applaud you, but I am a solutions-based person. If you don't have solutions from a protest then it remains a protest."

So, what's Ray's solution to social injustice? Jobs. He heads up an organization aimed at job creation in inner city areas ... which he says is the key to ending the cycle of disenfranchisement in the hood.

"We have to give these people something to do, so that they don't choose the wrong thing."

Ray Lewis says he and The Rock were like jacked up Nostradamuses back in college -- predicting they would one day be WORLD FAMOUS MEGASTARS back when they were football teammates in Miami.

Chael Sonnen says Tito Ortiz is so poor, he can't make his Rolls-Royce payments and had the car repossessed last week.

There's just one problem ... Tito just sent us a photo next to the car, giving Chael the bird ... and insisting Chael's full of crap.

Chael made the cash claim on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Thursday night on FS1) -- while talking smack about the guy he's set to face at Bellator 170 in January.

We reached out to Tito to find out if he really lost his beloved Rolls ... to which Tito replied, "Don't hate the player, hate the game. I fight for real money, he fights for my change."

52-year-old Bernard Hopkins is jumping back into the ring one last time ... and it's really ONE LAST according to his boss, Oscar De La Hoya ... who says he's making BH promise to hang 'em up FOREVER.

Oscar joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show and announced Hopkins' final fight to the world ... a brawl with 27-year-old knockout artist Joe Smith Jr. set to go down on December 17th.

Question is ... is it REALLY over? Hopkins has been known to beat the hell out of guys half his age ... take some time off ... then beat the hell out of guys half his age again.

De La Hoya says this it it ... telling the crew "I'm having him sign some kind of proclamation saying it's his last fight, at 52 years old, this should be the last fight for him."

Bad news for the guys in the Bears vs. Jaguars fan fight -- Oscar De La Hoya thinks you all suck at violence.

The legendary boxer joined the guys on "TMZ Sports" and weighed in on the fan brawl that took over in the Internet on Monday ... and one thing's clear -- nobody's getting a Golden Boy contract.

You gotta check out Oscar on the show Monday (airs on FS1) -- he also makes a pretty big announcement about a boxing LEGEND.

UFC superstar Luke Rockhold is BLASTING Greg Hardy and anyone considering training the ex-NFL star ... saying, "it's crazy to think that someone would actually train this guy."

Rockhold joined the "TMZ Sports" TV show ... when he was asked about Hardy's plan to hang up his cleats and fight mixed martial arts.

Luke absolutely goes in on Hardy ... calling the domestic violence accusations against him "beyond anything of what a normal human is capable of."

FYI -- Hardy was convicted of domestic violence in '14 ... before the guilty verdict was dismissed after the accuser stopped cooperating with authorities.

Check out the clip ... it's clear Rockhold vehemently feels Hardy has no place in MMA.

Buffalo Bills superstar Marcell Dareus says he's PUMPED to make his 2016 debut after serving his 4 game drug policy suspension -- explaining, "I sought out the help I need and I'm moving on."

Dareus joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show on FS1 and told us about the impact his life coach, Bruce Smith, has had on him ... and why he's more motivated than ever to be a great person and player.

Oh, and he also dishes out some smack talk to the L.A. Rams -- telling us how he plans to celebrate in Los Angeles if/when they upset the NFC West leaders.

Carson Wentz is lightin' it up in the league ... but if he was on the L.A. Rams, he'd be sittin' on the bench, just like Jared Goff ... NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson tells TMZ Sports.

Dickerson -- one of the greatest Rams of all time -- joined "TMZ Sports" (weeknights on FS1) to discuss the 2 QBs ... and whether the Rams screwed up selecting the one they did.

FYI -- Wentz, the #2 pick, has led his Eagles to a 2-0 start (3 TDs, 0 INTs). On the other hand, Goff, the #1 pick, was inactive for the Rams 1st game ... and served as the backup for the 2nd.

So, does Eric think the Rams screwed up not drafting Wentz? And if they drafted him, would he be killin' it with the Rams like he has with the Eagles?

Bill Belichick is a flat out BETTER COACH than Vince Lombardi ... so says a guy who won 3 Super Bowls with B.B., former star wide receiver Troy Brown.

Brown joined "TMZ Sports" (Friday night on FS1) to shed light on how Belichick's Tom Brady-less Patriots are 3-0 ... under a 2nd and 3rd string QB.

What T.B. says is shocking ... proclaiming B.B. a better coach than the man widely considered to be the greatest football coach of all-time, Vince Lombardi.

Tim Tebow COULDA BEEN THE UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD ... so says former UFC heavyweight fighter Brendan Schaub.

Schaub -- who's close friends with Tebow -- joined the guys on "TMZ Sports" (weeknights on FS1) to talk about his buddy's athletic prowess.

When asked whether he and Timmy have ever mixed it up in the cage ... Schaub gave a SHOCKING answer.

"If Tim decided when he was younger to pursue the UFC, he'd be the heavyweight champion of the world."

Oscar De La Hoya vs. George W. Bush????

It happened ... sorta ... and now, Oscar's explaining why he squared off with the ex-President and even gave him a shot to the breadbasket.

UFC stud Mickey Gall says it was "an honor" to be spoofed by WWE after his fight with CM Punk -- but admits, it was probably meant to be a shot at the former wrestler.

Gall appeared on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Tuesday night on FS1) -- when we asked about WWE recreating the UFC 203 match at the "Backlash" Pay-Per-View event the next day.

"That's cool, man," Gall said ... "It's an honor."

As for what inspired the spoof, Gall says ... "I think it's not so much me but their feelings against him ... so, I guess thats kinda crappy. But you know, hey, I loved it."

And, now that he's a famous athlete, we asked which Kardashian he wants to bang. Check out his answer.

There's a lot more on the show tonight -- and Gall tells us which big UFC event he's campaigning to fight at next.

Jon Jones' wish to fight UFC heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic may come true ... 'cause Stipe says he's absolutely down ... as soon as his body heals up.

Miocic joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Monday night on FS1) -- and was asked how he felt about Jon essentially calling him out on social media.

FYI, Jon tweeted after Stipe beat Alistair Overeem at UFC 203 ... "I'm starting to realize the hype is real with that guy. He's legit, it would be the challenge of a lifetime."

Stipe heard the challenge -- but didn't respond with the vitriol of Daniel Cormier. Instead, he praised Jones ... and essentially welcomed Dana White to make it happen.

Mickey Gall might be new to the UFC, but he can talk trash like a seasoned vet -- firing back at CM Punk with his own promise of a victory in their upcoming bout.

The self-proclaimed "kid from Jersey" was on "TMZ Sports" and immediately blew off CM bragging and guaranteeing a win Saturday night. As Mickey put it ... CM's "gotta say that and maybe to a degree he believes that, probably not."

Mickey also talked about the perception many UFC fighters want him to crush CM Punk ... to prove WWE guys can't just step into the Octagon. Best of all, you gotta see Mickey explain how he's gonna get the job done.

Make sure you check out our full interview with Mickey at 12:30 AM ET on FS1.

Rodney Harrison is FULL OF CRAP when he says he didn't know Colin Kaepernick was mixed race ... so say NFL Pro Bowlers Brendon Ayanbadejo & Robert Smith ... who ain't buying Harrison's excuse.

Robert and Brendon came on the "TMZ Sports" TV show and talked about Harrison's comments on Kaepernick, and the apology in which Rodney said he had no clue Kaepernick was mixed.

The two stars ... both mixed themselves ... totally called BS on Harrison's excuse with Robert saying "I'm not buying that" and Brendon going even further saying Harrison's explanation was an "escape plan."
