Urijah Faber says he won't be doing any horizontal wrestling with Paige VanZant outside the Octagon ... 'cause the almighty BRO CODE would stop him from ever, ever, dating his super cute UFC teammate.

We got Faber out in L.A. doing a little press for UFC 199 .... and asked about the smokin' hot ... and apparently single ... Miss VanZant.

Basically, we wanted to know if there was any chance he'd make a run for the 'DWTS' runner-up ... and become the first couple of the UFC.

Urijah makes it clear ... it's NOT HAPPENING ... saying the fact Paige dated his (and her) teammate, makes any extracurricular grappling a clear violation of the almighty bro code.

Bonus awesomeness? Faber also talks to us about his signature butt chin ... and tells us who he thinks has the most iconic booty face in the history of Hollywood.

UFC star Michael Bisping says the producers of of Vin Diesel's new "XXX" movie actually lucked out when Conor McGregor dropped out ... cause they got him instead, and he's a real deal thespian.

We got Bisping out in L.A. and asked him about filling in for Conor on the new flick, which McGregor was slated to star in but then dropped out of.

Bisping makes it clear to us ... he's no replacement ... saying a whole new part was written for the movie and he had to audition to get it.

As far as talking about McGregor's acting abilities ... Michael says there's not much to talk about -- saying Conor's never even done it before ... while he has over ten credits on the all-important IMDB.

We looked it up ... he ain't lying.

Luke Rockhold is a perfectionist ... especially when it comes to sculpting male genitalia.

The UFC superstar says he's mad at himself for the makeshift dong he created for a prank he pulled on his friend during training camp. And if you haven't seen it yet ... it's pretty hilarious.

Long story short ... Luke decided to mess with a friend who passed out while suntanning -- and cut out a silhouette of a penis to put on his back ... to create a penis-shaped sunburn. Hilarious.

Problem is ... Luke says he coulda done better.

Nothing but class from Holly Holm's camp after her upcoming opponent was involved in a violent robbery in Peru -- with Holm's reps telling TMZ Sports they're glad Valentina Shevchenko is safe.

Shevchenko -- who's set to fight Holm at UFC on FOX 20 in July -- wasn't harmed in the robbery but her trainer was shot in the stomach while exchanging gunfire with the robbers.

"We are glad [Shevchenko] is safe," Holm's rep tells us ... "We wish her coach well."

Dana White has said he's not sure if the fight will go on as planned -- considering the incident may have traumatized Shevchenko -- but Holm's camp tells us Holly is still training as if it will happen.

"The fight is on as far as we know."

6:23 AM PT -- We just spoke with Valentina Shevchenko who says she will NOT back out of UFC on FOX 20 ... telling us straight up, "I will fight Holly."

When asked about her health, she told us, "I am feeling good. No injuries. Just a few days was a very big stress to me. I’m just starting to feel better now.”

UFC honcho Dana White says he's not sure if Valentina Shevchenko will still fight Holly Holm in July -- after V.S. dodged bullets in a bloody shootout in Peru ... calling the incident "madness."

As we previously reported ... Shevchenko and her trainer were eating at a chicken restaurant when 3 masked gunmen barged in and began robbing the place.

Shevchenko's trainer pulled out a gun and began firing -- killing one of the robbers ... but he suffered a gunshot to the stomach in the process. Shevchenko escaped unharmed. Her trainer is being hospitalized and is expected to survive.

Wednesday night, White told us he's unsure if Shevchenko will fight Holm at UFC on Fox 20 in July -- but seemed to understand if she decides to pull out.

"When things like that happen, it puts you in touch with your mortality," White said.

Meantime, Shevchenko has issued a statement of her own -- calling her trainer a hero ... whose quick actions saved her life and the lives of the other patrons.

The UFC fighter who's scheduled to take on Holly Holm in July miraculously escaped injury in a violent shootout in Peru ... though her trainer was shot while exchanging gunfire with the bad guys.

The woman caught in the crossfire is Valentina Shevchenko -- who was reportedly dining at a restaurant in Lima when three gun-toting men in motorcycle helmets came in to rob the place.

Wanna REALLY kick someone's ass? Pay attention ... Master Van Damme will teach you.

It's time for a lesson in Jurassic swag, courtesy of UFC fighter Derrick "The Black Beast" Lewis ... who dropped $125k on the a golden T-Rex motor thingy ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

Lewis hit up Joseph McCamish of Etune Autosports in Houston and told the man he wanted "the baddest T-Rex he could build" ... and was willing to pay big bucks for it.

We talked to McCamish who tells us his guys were up to the task and created a one-of-a-kind ride for the Octagon god.

What'd they do? A full air ride system, custom-made leather seats, a black suede steering wheel, JBL audio system, a custom fabricated body kit and the piece de resistance ... a custom gold body wrap.

Final price for the whole thing ... $125k!!

Sylvester Stallone says he'd definitely pay good money to see Floyd Mayweather fight Conor McGregor -- though he's pretty sure Floyd would beat that ass!

Miesha Tate says Ronda Rousey is "somewhat emotionally unstable" -- and says it explains why the UFC legend went off on Paige VanZant at a party last month.

Tate appeared on Rush Fight Club on SiriusXM -- and went off about the issue when asked about the April encounter, when Rousey cussed out PVZ for congratulating Holly Holm after UFC 193.

"I think Ronda is somewhat emotionally unstable and I think that's been characteristic for a long time," Tate said.

"Doesn't mean she fights any worse for it. I'm not knocking her as an athlete but emotionally she's just got some things that are a little bit strange and I think that that was one of them."

Tate says the incident brought her even closer with VanZant -- despite the fact Tate says she would've handled the encounter in a much different way.

"This is why I feel like I identify with Paige more. She's so kind and when this whole thing happened she was like, 'We're emotional beings and hopefully I can make it right with Ronda,' and she's still such a sweetheart but I'm not that way."

"When Ronda does things like that to me I'm just like, 'No, eff you.' I'm not gonna bow down and not say how I feel."

This is no "Punk'd" ... Ashton Kutcher is a LEGIT jiu-jitsu fighter -- and his legendary trainer tells us he truly believes AK could beat up Conor McGregor in a ground fight.

Kutcher's been training with Brazilian jiu-jitsu master Rigan Machado -- an 8th degree black belt -- who tells TMZ Sports the actor is a natural ... "He is my #1 student."

Not only is Kutcher tough as nails, but Machado says the 38-year-old could be one of the top BJJ fighters in the world if he wanted to go pro.

Nate Diaz got an official award from the People of California Tuesday night ... recognizing his bad assness for his "upset" victory over Conor McGregor back in March.

Assemblyman Jim Cooper signed a resolution ... declaring "the exploits of Nathan Diaz, a successful American mixed martial artist from Stockton, have been a source of great joy and pride to the people of the State of California."

The award also describes Nate's victory over Conor as "one of the biggest upsets in UFC history."

Diaz is also hailed for his work with children, teens and adults at the jiu-jitsu center he runs in Lodi, CA -- saying he instills the values of respect, sportsmanship and responsibility to his students.

So, the question ... if he fights McGregor again -- and wins again -- does he get another award?

Floyd Mayweather says he's supremely confident Jon Jones will join The Money Team -- and tells TMZ Sports exactly why Floyd's crew is the perfect fit for the UFC superstar.

Floyd and Jon recently had a FaceTime convo -- and there have been rumblings that Floyd's trying to recruit him to the TMT family.

So, when we saw Floyd at his daughter's 7-figure sweet 16 party in Vegas this weekend -- we asked straight up if it was gonna happen.

You gotta watch the clip ... Floyd wants Jon to know TMT had Jon's back during his toughest times -- and will continue to support him moving forward.

He's even planning a trip to New Mexico to hang with Jon during his UFC 200 training camp.

3:45 PM PST -- We contacted Dana just after he returned to Vegas and he said, "Obviously I'm not going to disclose details of the deal, but let's just say my trip to Stockton didn't go well."

Dana White flew to Stockton, CA Friday to seal the deal for a rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, but we've learned it all went south and the UFC Prez stormed out of the tavern.

We got video of Dana greeting Nate, the same way he met Conor earlier in the week at a Bev Hills hotel -- smiles and hugs.

Our Stockton spies -- yeah, we got those -- tell us Dana, Nate and a couple of suits were all friendly as they chowed down, but the talk got serious and ended abruptly when Dana was visibly angry, stood up and beelined it for his SUV.

Unclear what torpedoed the meeting, but we've covered this stuff long enough to know it usually involves money. We know Conor was poised to score a $10 mil payday for a rematch. We don't know what Nate wants.

Cris 'Cyborg' Justino is already throwing her hat in the ring to be a part of the possible Mayweather vs. McGregor superfight ... and says she's down to BOX if that's what'll seal the deal.

After we broke the story that Mayweather has a $50 million offer out to Conor -- Cyborg tweeted out to Floyd saying:

"Hey @FloydMayweather if [McGregor] Fights you In Boxing I want a Boxing Fight on The event2. #mma vs #boxing u pick The girl! #tmt."

Cyborg also says she's already got a boxing coach who "will have me ready."

As we reported, nothing is in stone (or even close) but it seems like there's a real chance.

Floyd Mayweather has a $50 MILLION offer out to Conor McGregor, sources tell TMZ Sports ... but it's going to take a lot more to seal the deal.

We're told Floyd is proposing a New Year's Eve fight in Vegas and Conor is game. We're told Floyd's $50 million offer is far less than half the amount the fight would rake in ... and therein lies the rub.

Floyd has been talking to the wrong guy, because Conor can't ink the deal. It's all about convincing Dana White, and there's just no way White would accept such a lopsided deal. Fact is ... in 3 critical Pay-Per-View markets -- Europe, Australia and Canada -- Conor is a bigger star than Floyd.

Floyd's last fight produced disappointing PPV numbers, and Conor's star has never been brighter. Even his loss to Nate Diaz was epic ... the fight was great and it did not disappoint fans.

Sources connected with Floyd tell us ... the champ has not approached Dana, at least not yet.
