Travis Barker ain't backing off the bet he made with a TMZ photog over the big Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt fight at UFC 200 ... saying he's even picked out the spot where our poor bastard will have to get his tat.

To jog your memory ... we got Travis out a while ago and asked him who he thought would win the match up ... he said Hunt, our guy said Lesnar ... then the two men bet a new tattoo on it.

We got Barker out in NYC again ... and asked him where our guy would have to permanently mark himself if Hunt wins ... and his answer was pure Rock 'n' Roll.

Check out the clip.

Michael Bisping isn't gonna take Chris Weidman's PED allegations lying down ... firing back at the UFC star with an expletive-filled rant on the streets of Beverly Hills.

We got Bisping out on Canon Drive and asked his thoughts about Weidman accusing him of PED use following MB's victory over Luke Rockhold.

We'd tell you more ... but we can't really repeat most of the stuff Bisping said about Weidman ... so you're just gonna have to peep the clip if you want to know.

Conor McGregor is gonna be working in Vegas during UFC 200 weekend -- just not in the Octagon.

Instead, he'll be hosting a post-fight party at a massive nightclub at the Wynn Hotel ... TMZ Sports has learned.

McGregor has signed on to host an "action packed evening" at Intrigue nightclub -- with special guest DJ Konflikt.

Of course, McGregor was supposed to be FIGHTING that weekend and making $10 MILLION. Instead, he'll be slamming whiskey for a lot less.

UFC champ Michael Bisping says Brock Lesnar is gonna get Debo'd at UFC 200 ... KNOCKED THE F*** OUT ... 'cause MB thinks Mark Hunt is too much for Lesnar to handle in his first fight back.

We got Michael out in L.A. and asked his opinion on the HUGE Lesnar vs. Hunt heavyweight throwdown at UFC 200 next weekend ... basically, who ya got?

If you thought Bisping was gonna give the PC toe-the-company-line answer on the biggest heavyweight fight of the year, you're DEAD WRONG.

Check out the clip -- Bisping confidently proclaims Hunt will knock out Lesnar ... while admitting there's a distinct possibility Lesnar takes Hunt to ground and beats his soul out of him.

Here's some quality smack talk from Jon Jones ... ripping Daniel Cormier as a petty jealous loser.

Of course, Cormier has been calling Jon a "bum" all over town -- and recently explained why it's the most disrespectful insult he could hurl at Jones (video below).

Well, Jon's got some fighting words of his own ... and blasted D.C. as a crybaby who's destined for another ass whooping when they step into the Octagon at UFC 200 on July 9th.

The war over the "12 Gauge" nickname ain't about to be settled in the Octagon -- with Cardale Jones telling TMZ Sports ... Paige VanZant would "destroy" him in an MMA fight.

Remember, Paige called out Jones earlier this month -- saying the two should fight over the nickname they both use ... winner gets the "12 Gauge" title once and for all.

Well, we saw the Buffalo Bills rookie at LAX Monday and he told us he still intends to battle Paige over it -- however, he knows better than to accept a real scrap with a UFC star.

"I'm not about to get in her profession ... she would destroy me."

Jones does have another idea in mind about how to settle the issue -- it's wayyyy less violent.

Suddenly, Travis Barker's got a lot riding on Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt -- if he doesn't pick the winner he's gonna pay off a bet with his body.

We got Travis in NYC and our camera guy offered him a wager on UFC 200's co-main event ... and the Blink 182 drummer simply couldn't refuse.

Check out the video to see who Travis is backing. He says he's actually willing to squeeze a TMZ tattoo onto his already-covered body, IF the wager goes south.

Daniel Cormier is stepping up his training to prepare for Jon Jones -- sparring with 2-time UFC heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez.

Clearly, D.C. was impressed with Cain -- calling him "the greatest fighter I've ever been locked in a cage with."

"This is no joke @officialcainvelasquez is by far the best guy I've ever gone with."

Cormier vs. Jones is all set for UFC 200 on July 9th -- and D.C. is adamant he's finally going to get his revenge.

Cris "Cyborg" Justino ain't mincing her words ... telling TMZ Sports she would "kill" Ronda Rousey if they ever stepped in the Octagon.

Paige VanZant's blockbuster movie debut has just been put on hold -- she's officially pulled out of the upcoming 'Kickboxer' movie ... so she can focus on fighting.

As we previously reported, PVZ had signed on for "Kickboxer Retaliation" ... joining stars like Mike Tyson and the guy who plays The Mountain on "Game of Thrones."

A bunch of people thought it could be the role that launched VanZant's acting career.

But Paige just put the kibosh on the project -- claiming the filming schedule interfered with training for her next fight with Bec Rawlings at "UFC on FOX" in August.

"I’ve recently declined to be in the Kickboxer movie because I want to be 100% for this fight and train 100%," Paige told ESPN.

"That movie filming was kinda gonna get in the way. We couldn’t get a date set that worked with my schedule.”

The former porn star who claims she was attacked by her MMA star ex-boyfriend has launched a new line of emojis using images based on the brutal photos of her injuries ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Reports are swirling that the Fertitta brothers are no longer the proud owners of the UFC ... but TMZ Sports has learned it's just not true.

According to reports, WME talent agency, along with a Chinese media org and a group led by Robert Kraft snagged the MMA powerhouse for around $4 billion.

Sources tell us ... there are negotiations but "a deal isn't even close." In fact, we're told there has not even been an agreement on whether 100% of the UFC will be sold or just a portion. Nor have the parties agreed on price.

One report says the deal was finalized Sunday between WME CEO Ari Emanuel, Lorenzo Fertitta and other UFC execs at a dinner meeting in Hollywood. But we've learned Emanuel was on a plane Sunday flying back from a bar mitzvah out of the country and Lorenzo was in Vegas all day. We're told Dana White and Frank Fertitta were also in Vegas all day.

Conor McGregor is gonna need a miracle to beat Nate Diaz at UFC 202 ... so says UFC lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos.

McGregor and Diaz are set to rematch at UFC 202 in August -- and with dos Anjos having defeated Diaz in the past, we asked if he had any fight advice for Conor.

Rafael didn't give out any free pointers -- but did drop some real talk ... telling TMZ Sports straight up, "I don't see Conor winning this fight for sure."

He goes on to explain why Conor is doomed.

UFC champ Miesha Tate says she NEEDS to avenge her losses to Ronda Rousey -- telling TMZ Sports, "I feel like something would be missing from my career if I didn't fight Ronda again."

Conor McGregor is all about spreading the wealth -- buying his entire family brand new BMW 5 Series whips after he got rich in the UFC ... this according to Conor's dad.

Tony McGregor spoke with The Independent in Ireland ... and explained how the UFC surprised his family with a gaggle of Beamers back in 2015.

"He came home from an American trip last year, and I saw this fleet of cars coming around the corner with him in the lead car, a black BMW 5 Series," Tony said.

"I presumed it was an entourage chauffeuring him home, but he told me to hop in and asked if I liked the car? I said it was lovely and he handed me the keys and said, 'Good, because it's yours.' He bought one for everyone in the family, which was really nice."

Besides his parents, Conor has 2 sisters -- so, maybe he got a 4 car deal?

Of course, Conor LOVES cars -- and has bought himself a bunch of expensive rides ... including a couple of Rolls-Royces.

Tony dropped a whole bunch of Conor gems ... including:

-- He didn't approve of Conor's career at first. "He was able to prove me wrong, which has made me so proud."

-- Conor started boxing at age 12 after playing soccer as a kid.

And the most shocking part ... Tony says Conor was a really quiet kid who stayed out of trouble.

Cris "Cyborg" Justino says her black widow bite was so bad, she required hospital care ... but says she's confident she'll resume MMA training as early as next week.

As we previously reported, Cyborg was bit by the venomous spider while gardening at her L.A. home last week.

Cyborg says she didn't realize what bit her at first -- but the wound got really bad and painful ... and she finally went to the hospital when she began to feel extremely sick.
