Jon Jones says he was "in the prime of my partying" when he beat Daniel Cormier last year -- and now that he's sober, JJ says he's going to beat his ass again.

Jay Glazer ain't just the ultimate NFL insider, he's also an MMA aficionado -- and he tells TMZ Sports there's only ONE WAY Brock Lesnar beats Mark Hunt at UFC 200.

By the way, Glazer was hangin' out with NFL superstar Jadeveon Clowney in Bev Hills Tuesday -- turns out, he's doing some MMA training with the Houston Texan at his Unbreakable Performance gym in L.A.

"He's working his butt off out here."

As for Brock, we'll see if he takes Jay's advice when he steps into the Octagon on July 9th.

Matt Hardy doesn't sound too confident about CM Punk's UFC debut ...

Hardy spent years in the squared circle with Punk -- and got to know the guy pretty well before Punk left pro wrestling to become an MMA fighter.

Now, with Punk set to make his debut at UFC 203 later this year, we asked Hardy for his take ... and it's less than optimistic.

By the way, Hardy has some fightin' of his own to do when he squares off with his brother, Jeff, Tuesday night at TNA's "Hardy vs. Hardy: The Final Deletion."

"If you have a belt, you should have to defend it" ... so says Frankie Edgar who says it's "whack" that Conor McGregor is fighting outside his weight class before defending the featherweight title.

Edgar is currently UFC's top ranked featherweight contender and BADLY wants to beat the title out of the hands of the Irish superstar.

Problem is, Conor's taking his SECOND fight in another weight class (to rematch with Nate Diaz) ... and it's clearly bothering Edgar.

Jon Jones claims there's one small issue stopping him from joining Floyd Mayweather's Money Team ... Floyd won't call him back ... saying the two men haven't spoken since Floyd made the offer.

Floyd told us the UFC superstar was a perfect candidate for Money Team membership when we got him at his daughter's crazy b-day party ... so when we got Jon out we had to ask about the status of his crewship.

Check out the clip -- seems like there's a little miscommunication going on, 'cause Jon says he'd love to join up with Floyd ... but hasn't had contact with him since he was invited to join.

Weird, you'd think he'd want to brand JJ with TMT gear before he gets in the Octagon at UFC 200 on July 9th.

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.
