Kickboxing Fight Ends in Cheap Shot Knockout ... And Brutal Attack
A cheap shot during a kickboxing bout left one fighter knocked out cold and the other with a possible broken jaw.
Murthel Groenhart and Harut Grigorian were in the first round of their fight at Glory 42 in Paris, when for some reason Grigorian turned his back and began walking to his corner, and Groenhart landed a vicious haymaker and it was lights out for Grigorian. Fans then rushed the ring to attack Groenhart.
In the end, Groenhart got the win by knockout.

NBA Prospect Przemek Karnowski Apologizes To Airline Passengers ... Sorry For Being (Really) Big
Attention, airline passengers of America ... TMZ Sports is about to give you a heartfelt message from a 7'1" 300 pound NBA prospect, Przemek Karnowski.
I'M SORRY I'M SO DAMN HUMONGOUS.
We got the former Gonzaga star in DC (nicest guy ever, BTW) and asked him what it's like to be shuffling around the country to different workouts for NBA teams.
It's a lot of flying, and for a guy his size who ain't about that private jet life quite yet, it's gotta be tough for him -- and let's face it, anyone he's sitting next to.
Listen to Karnowski apologize to the whole flying world for dominating the middle seat like the paint, saying, "I hope people understand. It's not my fault! I'm doing my best."
Good part of being that big on a plane? Not even United would try him.

Roy Jones Jr. says Oscar De La Hoya is kinda right ... the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight could seriously damage boxing -- if Conor wins.
Long story short, Roy says the only way Conor wins this fight is if he gets "lucky" -- otherwise, Mayweather should beat that ass.

In fact, that's why he tells us he's STILL serious about fighting Anderson Silva -- if Dana White gives him the green light.

Dana White Fires Back at Demetrious Johnson
You knew it was coming ... here's Dana White lashing back at Demetrious Johnson -- essentially calling BS on all the claims DJ made in his scathing statement about the UFC.
Earlier this month, Mighty Mouse blasted Dana -- saying the UFC has bullied, mistreated and mis-marketed him over the years ... and he feels completely disrespected.
Enter White -- who we saw in Bev Hills -- who responded to DJ point by point.
Dana on UFC contract and Pay-Per-View deals:
"He didn't want Pay-Per-View. He wanted upfront money, no Pay-Per-View. He wasn't very confident in his abilities to sell Pay-Per-Views. He has the lowest-selling Pay-Per-View in the history of the UFC in the modern era."
Dana on DJ's fighting future:
"I think a fight between him and T.J. Dillashaw would be something that people would actually be interested in and could sell Pay-Per-Views and could make money. But he absolutely refuses to fight the guy. It's ridiculous."
Dana on marketing DJ:
"We're not marketing him right? We built a TV show around him. 'The Ultimate Fighter' was about what an incredible fighter he is. We put him on Fox many times and tried to build him and it is what it is. It's not me."
Dana on where DJ ranks as a fighter:
"The media claims he's the pound for pound best fighter in the world. I think Conor McGregor is the pound for pound best fighter in the world."
There's more. Enjoy.

Tiger Woods Told Cops He Popped Xanax
Tiger Woods told arresting officers he'd taken Xanax the night he was pulled over for DUI ... which has only now been revealed by an unredacted copy of the police report.
In previous police docs, Tiger had copped to 4 other meds -- Solarex, Vicodin, Torix and Vioxx ... which he said he hadn't taken this year. There was no mention of Xanax.
However, the new unredacted document -- first obtained by Golf Channel -- makes it clear ... when the officer asked Tiger if he'd taken any medication he stated Xanax.
It's unclear why that drug was initially concealed in the report, but it helps support Tiger's original statement in which he said he'd had "an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications."
There was no clear danger in combining the 4 drugs originally listed -- however, Vicodin and Xanax is a whole different story. The FDA warns combining Xanax with opiods can result in "profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death."

LeBron James On Return To Cavs: 'My Mom Was Like, F*** That'
LeBron James says Cavs owner Dan Gilbert "completely bashed" him in that infamous 2010 letter about LBJ leaving for Miami ... and Bron says it was so disrespectful, it almost stopped him from returning to Cleveland in 2014.
LeBron opened up about the letter on Uninterrupted's "The Shop" -- which was shot during All Star Weekend but released Friday.
Gilbert's letter was loaded with insults -- even referring to LeBron as the "self-titled former King."
In the video, LeBron says Gilbert "completely bashed me and disrespected not only me as an individual but disrespected my name. And my name is not just myself, it's my wife, my kids, my grandfather, my mother, so many more people."
Bron goes on to say the letter was so hurtful, when the opportunity came to return to the Cavs in 2014, his family members were adamantly against it.
"My wife was like, 'f*ck that. I ain't with that' ... My mom was definitely like, 'f*ck that. We ain't going back.'"
But James ultimately says his return was about "the bigger picture" and wanted to be an inspiration to the people of The Land, despite his family's wishes.
