UFC

Ronda Rousey says she's laser-focused on crushing Amanda Nunes on Friday at UFC 207 ... and doesn't care about ANYTHING else ... the money, the media or her image.

We got video from the UFC of Ronda talking about her mindset going into the fight -- and she spells the whole thing out.

"I don't care about how this pay-per-view does. I don't care about how much money I make. I don't care about interviews and I don't care how I look," Ronda said.

"All I care about is winning my belt back on Friday night and that's it."

UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste is proving her insane body is ready for UFC 207 this weekend.

DEEP BURN ALERT ...

Stephanie McMahon let CM Punk have it Sunday night ... dissing the WWE star about the infamous ass-kicking he got in his UFC debut.

It happened in Chicago -- CM's hometown -- when the crowd started chanting Punk's name ... something that happens a lot when the WWE rolls into the Windy City.

Wanna get high out of Nick Diaz's face?

Well, now you can because the UFC legend is now a marijuana pipe ... and he's stoked!

Nick hit up a head shop in Stockton, CA on Monday and found that artsy toner pipe designers had used his face -- and his brother Nate Diaz's face -- as the inspiration for some new glass.

He also found "Diaz Brothers" rolling papers.

Diaz was so excited he busted out his vaporizer and hit it right there in the shop.

Nick had previously said he considers himself the #1 stoner athlete in the world -- so, this is kind of like an honor.

Dana White tells TMZ Sports he's still on great terms with Brock Lesnar -- despite the UFC 200 PED drama -- but believes his days in the Octagon are probably over.

"I think his career is winding down but he's a freak of nature. Who knows ... maybe he'll give me a call and say he wants to do it again but I think he's ready to ride off into the sunset."

FYI, Brock is 39 years old and before UFC 200 he hadn't fought in the Octagon since 2011 when he lost to Alistair Overeem.

There's more ... we also asked Dana about another WWE superstar, CM Punk, and whether he would return to try to redeem himself after his disastrous debut earlier this year.

It's obvious Dana likes and respects CM ... but it doesn't seem like we'll see Punk back in the Octagon in the very near future.

Urijah Faber says he's just not into fighting anymore ... and his decision to call it quits in the MMA is 100% final ... meaning he ain't coming back ... EVER.

Faber announced his plans to retire in October ... saying last Saturday's UFC on Fox 22 fight would be his last.

He then waffled a little bit to TMZ Sports ... saying he wasn't sure someone wouldn't "piss him off" and bring him back to the Octagon.

But when we talked to him earlier this week -- AFTER the fight -- he made it clear, he can't go through the whole thing again ... and wants to concentrate on other things in his life.

The barrage of smack talk between UFC fighters Cody Garbrandt and Dominick Cruz continues ... with Cruz telling TMZ Sports the only thing emptier than Cody's threats are his head ... 'cause he's dumb.

These two are scheduled to meet up at UFC 207 December 30th ... and have been destroying each other in the media, with the most recent shot coming from Garbrandt about Cruz's new beard.

Well, Cruz checked in with the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show ... and UNLOADED on Cody ... saying his insults are coming from a very small place ... his brain.

Be sure to watch "TMZ Sports" weeknights on FS1.

Dana White just sent a violent warning to Floyd Mayweather -- Conor McGregor will "kick [your] head into another planet and then he'll murder every one of [your] security guards."

Dana White doesn't seem too confident Cyborg Justino will beat new doping allegations ... telling TMZ Sports he smelled something fishy recently when she turned down multiple fight offers.

We just ran into the UFC prez in NYC -- where he's promoting UFC 208 in Brooklyn -- and he told us he had just been informed that USADA had flagged Cyborg for a possible doping violation.

White says he had offered 3 fights to Cyborg recently and at the time, he couldn't understand why she didn't want to play ball.

"First fight she had 8 weeks to get ready. Second fight she had 11 weeks to get ready and the third fight she just turned down," White says.

"I thought it was just strange that she was turning down all these fights ... not so strange now."

Now this means war!!!

Amanda Nunes says Ronda Rousey UNFOLLOWED her on Instagram -- and made it so Amanda can't see what's going on her social media page ... which means she was BLOCKED!!!

Paige VanZant is no bitch -- and just because she got beat up this weekend doesn't mean she won't come back and dominate in 2017 ... so says her friend and training teammate, Urijah Faber.

VanZant got rocked by Michelle Waterson at UFC on FOX 22 this weekend -- and there's some talk that the "Dancing with The Stars" alum has been focusing too much on Hollywood ... and not enough on fighting.

But Faber says that's a bunch of crap ... saying he's blown away by how VanZant balances the UFC and other opportunities ... and says she's such a hard worker, there's no reason she can't keep it up.

Paige VanZant didn't hold a grudge after Michelle Waterson choked her out at UFC on FOX 22 this weekend -- and graciously congratulated her opponent backstage ... so says Michelle herself.

The Karate Hottie say she has the ultimate respect for Paige -- and thought it was classy when VanZant spoke with her after the fight. "She's a really sweet girl."

Waterson says she has 2 opponents in mind moving forward -- and also wants to capitalize on her high profile victory ... maybe even taking Paige's place on "Dancing with the Stars."

Check out the clip ... Michelle's awesome.

More insults, more fun!

This time it's UFC star Cody "No Love" Garbrandt taking aim at Dominick Cruz's facial hair ... saying his newly sported stubble won't save his chin when they face off at UFC 207 on Dec. 30.

These two guys have been going back and forth for months ... and it ain't gonna stop until they get in the Octagon.

Question is ... can these two ever be friends when it's all said and done? You might be surprised at the answer.

It's a fight between two pretty boys ... and Mickey Gall says he's got the edge over his opponent, Sage Northcutt, in both looks AND talent.

Gall and Northcutt will face off at UFC on FOX 22 on Saturday ... and when we got Mickey out in NYC he joked that he's gonna get revenge for all fruit affected by Sage's "Apple Challenge."

Brock Lesnar was just hit with a 1 year suspension and massive $250k fine for two failed drug tests at UFC 200.

Floyd Mayweather just upped the ante in his beef with Conor McGregor ... calling him one of the most disrespectful words out there ... a "bitch."

Mayweather hit up Instagram Live ... and ripped into the UFC star, saying "Conor McGregor's a bitch."

Floyd didn't stop there ... he also posted video of C.M. getting choked out by Nate Diaz ... and offered 10 Gs to the person who comes up with the "best caption" for the video.

These latest shots come on the heels of Floyd saying he'd "slap the s***" out of McGregor.

Your move, Conor.
