UFC

Ronda Rousey has already mastered the "Battle of the Network Stars" obstacle course -- but her friends ... well, they BOTH ended up in the water pit during a test run on the L.A. set.

TMZ Sports has footage of the UFC legend coaching her mom and sister as they tried to navigate everything from the rope swing to the monkey bars.

Ronda easily conquered the obstacles at Pepperdine University -- her fam had a much tougher go. Fortunately, Ronda was there to pull 'em BOTH out of the water.

Ronda is a permanent "team captain" on the show -- and every week, she'll lead a squad against DeMarcus Ware's team.

No word on how the contestants will be. Hopefully, they're practicing their rope swings.

"I couldn't hit him. Oscar [De La Hoya] couldn't hit him. Canelo [Alvarez] couldn't hit him. Conor's not going to hit him."

Boxing legend Ricky Hatton says he absolutely LOVES Conor McGregor -- but knows in his heart the guy has no shot against Floyd Mayweather.

Ricky famously fought Mayweather back in 2007 -- they were both undefeated at the time -- but Hatton got rocked and lost in the 10th round.

Hatton says he knows from experience how hard it is to land a shot against Floyd -- and says he thinks there's a real possibility Conor won't land a single punch if they actually fight.

"What I think happens in the fight ... it could be a bit embarrassing. And I would not like to see that happen to Conor 'cause I love him to bits."

"If the truth be known, I'd like Conor to splatter him. But I don't ... my heart says it but my mind says 'no,' he probably wouldn't."

As I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord ... FOR A REMATCH WITH CODY GARBRANDT!

That's what Dominick Cruz says he's hoping for -- telling TMZ Sports he's ready for his shot at redemption after they clashed in one of the best UFC fights of 2016.

The original fight was insane -- a 5-round war -- and Cody emerged victorious, becoming the UFC bantamweight champ.

He was supposed to defend his title against T.J. Dillashaw -- but pulled out due to a back injury.

Cruz says he feels Garbrandt's pain -- but says he wants him healthy ASAP so they can continue the saga.

Dana White tells TMZ Sports he has 3 simple words for Oscar De La Hoya -- "WHAT THE F**K?!"

The UFC honcho is furious with the boxing legend after Oscar publicly trashed the Mayweather vs. McGregor negotiations ... calling it a "joke of a fight" that could kill the sport of boxing.

Earlier Wednesday, White posted a video on Instagram showing Oscar praising a UFC vs. Boxing fight four months ago ... and then trashing it now.

White says Oscar is coming off as an insecure hypocritical weirdo for changing his position so drastically -- and says it makes it sound like Oscar has no confidence in the boxing match he's promoting, Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin.

You gotta watch the clip ... Dana goes absolutely nuclear -- plus, he gives the latest on the Floyd vs. Conor negotiations.

UFC superstar Max Holloway says Conor McGregor is yesterday's news in the UFC ... and he's the man of the hour.

Holloway -- the UFC lightweight interim champ who's fighting at UFC 212 -- joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs weekdays on FS1) and was asked how he felt about The Notorious.

"Conor was the 2015 champion. We're in the year 2017," Holloway says ... "It's about defending your whatever."

Conor defeated Holloway back in 2013 and eventually won the featherweight title in 2015 ... only to leave the division and take the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez in 2016.

A lot of people SAY they wanna be like Conor McGregor -- not everyone can put their money where their mouths are.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk is pretty damn close.

The UFC fighter is one of the most dominant athletes (male or female) in all of MMA at the moment ... and says she wants to follow Conor and Ronda Rousey in becoming the sport's next icon.

As we previously reported, Joanna is already working with The Rock's agent -- who also happens to represent Ronda.

Funny moment with Irish superstar Colin Farrell ... who apparently hasn't done his Irish duty of checking in on Conor McGregor's baby yet.

Farrell jokes that he "should" check up on Ireland's most famous baby -- and then cracks on our photog for not keeping up with Irish politics.

The best part's when Colin tries to zing our Australian camera guy, Charlie, for being an uneducated American.

As for Conor Jr. ... he's chillin'.

Jason Momoa gave one hell of a sendoff to his UFC pal Mark Hunt by performing a haka dance ... shirts off, tongues out and all.

We're told Mark and Jason struck up a friendship over the last 6 weeks while they were both in Australia -- Mark training for his fight against Derrick Lewis, and Jason filming for "Aquaman." They've been working out at the same gym called Heartbreak.

As a good luck gesture for Mark's fight next month in New Zealand, Jason -- as well as cast and crew and some of Hunt's training partners -- performed that country's traditional war dance ... the haka. Jason and Mark are both of Samoan descent ... from where the dance originates.

Jason will be attending Mark's fight.

Anyway, from the looks of these vids ... Mark wasn't expecting the whole shebang. Surprised much?

Daniel Cormier upheld a long running wedding tradition by tossing his wife's garter at their wedding reception ... and his pal Luke Rockhold walked away the winner.

Daniel got slow and sexy while he removed the garter of his bride, Salina, during Saturday's party.

It hit the floor, but an anxious Luke scooped it up and waived the prize.

As we reported ... Dana White wasn't invited to the wedding, but we're told there's no beef between the 2. Here's hoping his boss still sent a gift.

Congrats!

Bold move from Daniel Cormier ... who didn't invite his boss, Dana White, to his wedding this weekend -- but still wants a big, fat gift!

DC actually has a pretty solid reason for not inviting White ... and says they're definitely still on good terms.

The best part of the clip ... Cormier says he personally asked White for a very specific wedding present and the UFC prez told him straight-up, "You're crazy!"

Cormier is marrying his longtime girlfriend, Salina -- and says he's more excited about the wedding than he is about the Jon Jones fight!

Congrats to the champ!

UFC middleweight champ Michael Bisping says Gegard Mousasi ain't nothing but a Twitter tough guy -- because when they got face-to-face, Gegard backed down like a biiiiaaaatch.

We spoke with "The Count" about his injured knee, his fight with GSP and everyone who's been calling him out ... but he got the most heated about Mousasi, the #4 ranked middleweight in the world.

Gegard had been talking a lot of trash about Bisping on social media -- but shelved all the tough talk when he did an interview with Bisping on "UFC Tonight."

"He didn't say a f**king word to my face," Bisping said ... "He did not say a word."

Your move, Mousasi ... better not be on social media.

Frankie Edgar says it would be ridiculous if Cris Cyborg gets sued for punching Angela Magana in the face ... telling TMZ Sports Magana should've seen it comin' when she ran her mouth.

We spoke with Edgar about Magana's plans to pursue legal action ... and The Answer clearly disagrees with the idea, saying "it's kinda crazy to me."

"I don't know how a fighter can press charges for getting hit," Edgar tells us. "Especially if you run your mouth."

"I'd never sue someone over a fight."

UFC Middleweight champ Michael Bisping is outraged at the British government for putting "political correctness" in front of the war against terror.

We got the Manchester native in L.A. Wednesday where he poured his heart out over the attack, saying he cried when he heard children were targeted.

Then Michael flew into a controlled rage, claiming the British government knows where the terrorists are hiding but they aren't raiding their homes because it would appear politically insensitive.

Conor McGregor has put his MMA training on the back burner to prepare for his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with McGregor's rep who says The Notorious is "only training boxing" while working out in Dublin to focus on the super fight.

That's right ... the UFC lightweight (and former featherweight) champ ain't practicing mixed martial arts.

Dana White announced last Thursday that McGregor's side of the deal is complete ... and the UFC star has been posting training pics directed at Floyd on Instagram ever since.

While the fight still isn't a done deal, Floyd has remained optimistic, telling reporters over the weekend that if he un-retires for a fight, "it's a 90% chance it's against Conor McGregor."

Cris "Cyborg" Justino was cited for battery for punching UFC fighter Angela Magana in the face at a UFC fighter retreat in Las Vegas this weekend ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to the Las Vegas Metro Police narrative, Magana says Cyborg punched the left side of her face after the two fighters got into a verbal argument. Police say they reviewed surveillance video that showed Cyborg throwing a punch, hitting Magana in the face once.

According to officials, witnesses jumped in and broke up the fight.

Cops say Magana -- a 33 year old UFC strawweight -- transported herself to the hospital and was treated. According to the narrative, a doctor at the hospital diagnosed A.M. with an "acute head injury, cervical strain, and laceration of the lip."

She returned to her hotel room and called cops.

Magana told police the fight sparked over comments that were made on social media.

Since the incident, A.M. has gone on a Twitter rampage against Cyborg ... "I was the victim of roid rage today. Hope it was worth your job. Sue happy lawyers hitting me up left and right now #Cyborg"

Cops say they also spoke with UFC fighter Bec Rawlings ... who verified Angela's story.

Police made contact with Cyborg, but she did not want to give her side of the story. She was cited for battery and will have to appear in court.

Cage Pages obtained video of the incident.

The man behind the biggest action star on the planet is helping to launch one of the baddest fighters in the UFC into Hollywood superstardom ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The agent is Brad Slater -- who reps huge stars like The Rock and Michael Strahan and signed LeBron James to WME back in 2014.

The fighter is Joanna Jedrzejczyk -- the reigning, undefeated women's strawweight champion.

Joanna tells TMZ Sports she has big Hollywood dreams and believes Slater is the guy who can make them come true.

And we know just the person looking for badass female action stars ... right Michelle Rodriguez?!
