Ezekiel Elliott was at a Texas bar over the weekend when a violent fight broke out ... and now, cops tell TMZ Sports they're investigating if members of the NFL star's crew were involved.
According to Frisco Police Dept. documents we obtained, the disturbance happened at around 1 AM at Concrete Cowboy -- a nightclub located a few yards from the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility in Frisco.
Video shot by a patron at the establishment shows as Elliott was talking with a woman, several people got into a brawl just feet away.
You can see in the footage, at one point during the squabble, a man appears to throw a punch that lands squarely on another man's back.
Officers wrote in an incident report that "a male and a female were physically assaulted by a large group of males" in the fracas. An FPD spokesperson added in a statement that witnesses alleged "members of Elliott's group may have been involved."
Cops, however, said a probe into the allegations is still ongoing ... and detectives are "still working to confirm the details of the incident."
Elliott is, of course, very familiar with the Frisco area ... he played for the Cowboys for the first seven seasons of his career, before he joined the New England Patriots in 2023.
The 28-year-old tailback found success in his first season in another team's uniform, piling up 955 total yards from scrimmage and five total TDs.

Kayla Harrison Signs W/ UFC Fighting Holly Holm At 300

UPDATE
10:26 AM PT -- Kayla Harrison's opening up about her move to the UFC.
"When I started competing, my goal was to be the best…the Olympic champion of #MMA. The @UFC presents me with the opportunity to be just that. It’s been an amazing journey to reach this point, and I’m grateful for every step along the path," Harrison wrote on social media.
"The highs and lows have all shaped me and made me an even better version of myself. God’s timing is perfect, and I am sure of one thing: My time is now. Let’s goooooo! 🦄"
Kayla Harrison is on the move ... one of the most accomplished women in combat sports history is signing with Dana White's promotion, and will fight fellow legend Holly Holm at UFC 300!
White made the big announcement late Tuesday night, explaining 33-year-old Harrison, a 2x Olympic gold medalist and 2x PFL champion, to an exclusive deal ... ending 16-1 KH's tenure with Professional Fighters League -- where she was one of the promotions faces since her signing in 2018.
As for the details of the fight with 42-year-old Holm -- a former UFC and boxing champ -- it'll go down on the highly anticipated April 13 card in Las Vegas.
FYI, UFC 300, a milestone event for the promotion, will also feature Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway ... with more big fights surely on the way.
Holly's no stranger to big fights ... she was the first to beat Ronda Rousey (KO, 2015), and has faced everyone from Amanda Nunes to Valentina Shevchenko.
The Harrison-Holm fight will be contested at 135 lbs. ... significantly lighter than the 155 lb. division where Kayla has primarily fought.
The winner of the Harrison-Holm fight will almost certainly thrust themselves into the title picture. Holm is already the 5th-ranked bantamweight, and she's beaten the (newly crowned) champ Raquel Pennington twice, in 2015 and 2020.
Harrison's signing could also set up the long-talked-about super fight with Nunes ... who seems open to the possibility of returning to the Octagon after retiring last year.
But, first things first ... "The Preacher's Daughter" at UFC 300!

Tommy Fury Surgery On Secret Hand Injury ... Busted Since 2019
Tommy Fury just went under the knife to fix a nagging injury he's dealt with for YEARS ... spilling the beans on the secret ailment after a successful surgery.
TNT posted a shot from his hospital bed on Wednesday ... and he appeared to be in great spirits as he updated his fans on his status.
"Since 2019 I have been dealing with a hand injury that I’ve never spoken about/shared online," Tyson's half-brother said on Instagram. "Since my third professional fight I have been trying to manage this injury, training and fighting through extreme pain which led me to often not being able to use my right hand at all."
In fact, Tommy (10-0) claims he didn't use his right hand at all in the weeks leading up to his most recent fight against KSI in October ... which he won via unanimous decision.
Tommy said after years of fighting through the pain, he finally addressed the issue with the procedure ... and now he's expecting to be fighting fit soon.
"I’m excited for my recovery journey and so ready to be back feeling and giving 100% in 2024."

Chris Young New Video Shows Him Getting Pushed ... Did He Start Fight?!?
Chris Young is accused of starting a fight with a Tennessee bureaucrat in a bar -- but now, new video appears to show he didn't do much of anything at all ... or so it seems, anyway.
You'll recall ... the country singer was arrested earlier this week after law enforcement officials alleged he got physical with an agent from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission out in Nashville Monday night -- this after they came in to check IDs and driver's licenses.
Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.
The arrest affidavit claims Chris blocked the TABC agents from exiting the bar they were at -- alleging he then put hands on one of them ... and even claiming he struck one of their shoulders. That resulted in some sort of scuffle ... and with Chris being booked.
He's facing charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on an officer -- but with this new video here ... many are questioning whether Chris did anything whatsoever.
Chris' attorney has been decrying the charges, insisting these clips of the incident -- which are making the rounds online and elsewhere -- make it crystal clear ... he's innocent.
His client has a court date later in February to answer for these charges ... but Chris' lawyer is pushing to have them dropped outright, and based on what's depicted here -- he might have a point. It certainly looks like Chris didn't start any fight ... the other dude did.
Anyway, we'll see what comes of it ... and whether Chris ends up entering a plea. We already know his position on this publicly, though -- he's saying he didn't do squat.

Chris Young detenido tras un presunto altercado con funcionarios En un bar de Nashville
El cantante de country Chris Young salió a tomar una copa en Nashville y terminó su noche en la cárcel después de ser arrestado tras un presunto incidente con los funcionarios.
Según la declaración jurada de arresto, obtenida por TMZ, Chris estaba bebiendo en el bar Tin Roof el lunes por la noche en el centro de Nashville cuando los agentes de la Comisión de Bebidas Alcohólicas de Tennessee entraron para comprobar las identificaciones y tarjetas de licencia, y fue en ese momento que las cosas se complicaron.
El cantante de "Gettin 'You Home" supuestamente comenzó a interrogar a los agentes después de que comprobaron su identificación y los funcionarios dicen que comenzó a grabarlos y luego los siguió a la Dawg House, un bar de al lado donde el TABC estaba haciendo un control de rutina.
En el siguiente bar, los funcionarios afirman que Chris y un grupo de amigos comenzaron a hablar con la gente en el bar y el camarero, mientras que los agentes fueron a la parte trasera de la barra para comprobar las tarjetas de ABC.
Los agentes dicen que estaban caminando hacia la puerta cuando Chris bloqueó su salida, poniendo sus manos sobre uno de los oficiales para detener el agente de salir y golpear al agente en el hombro.
El agente dice que empujaron a Chris y luego los clientes del bar se apresuraron a interponerse entre Chris y los agentes ... dando lugar a muchos gritos y chillidos. Los agentes dicen que las personas que estaban con Chris les siguieron fuera del bar e hicieron la situación "hostil".
En su informe, los agentes dicen que Chris "tenía los ojos inyectados en sangre y llorosos" y que arrastraba las palabras.
Nos dicen que Chris fue detenido y fichado por 3 cargos, alteración del orden público, resistencia a la autoridad y asalto a un oficial de contacto ofensivo... todos delitos menores.
Chris pagó una fianza de $2.500 y fue puesto en libertad el martes por la mañana y tiene que presentarse en la corte el 16 de febrero.
Country Singer Chris Young Arrested At Nashville Bar ... Alleged Confrontation With Official
Country singer Chris Young went out for a drink in Nashville and ended his night in jail after being arrested following an alleged incident with officials.
According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, Chris was drinking at the Tin Roof bar Monday night in midtown Nashville when agents from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission came in to check IDs and license cards ... and things spiraled from there.
The "Gettin' You Home" singer allegedly started questioning the agents after they checked his ID ... and officials say he started recording them and then followed them to the Dawg House, a bar next door where the TABC was doing a routine compliance check.
At the next bar, the officials claim Chris and a group of friends started talking to folks at the bar and the bartender while agents went to the back of the bar to check ABC cards.
The agents say they were walking to the door when Chris blocked their exit, putting his hands on one of the officers to stop the agent from leaving and striking the agent on the shoulder.
The officer says they pushed Chris away and then bar patrons rushed to get between Chris and the agents ... leading to lots of yelling and screaming. The agents say folks who were with Chris followed them out of the bar and made the situation "hostile."
In their report, the officers say Chris' "eyes were bloodshot and watery" and they say he was slurring his speech.
We're told Chris was arrested and booked on 3 charges ... disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on officer offensive contact ... all misdemeanors.
Chris posted $2,500 bond and was released from custody Tuesday morning and is due back in court Feb. 16.

Dave Chappelle denuncia a Katt Williams por atacar exclusivamente a cómicos afroamericanos
Dave Chappelle le está respondiendo a Katt Williams y parece bastante enojado.
El controvertido actor y comediante hizo un stand-up en el San José Improv el viernes por la noche, donde compartió su decepción con Katt. Resulta que estaba particularmente indignado de que su compañero comediante hiciera bromas a costa de exclusivamente comediantes afroamericanos.
Dave Chappelle says Katt Williams was wrong for hating on Black Comedians:
— RichAndRay (@RichAndRay33) January 20, 2024 @RichAndRay33
“He only Ethered niggas. He didn’t say anything about any of these white boys. …What part of the game f*cks up another nigga’s paper?” pic.twitter.com/6DqrYE5ITM
Dave dijo: "No dijo nada sobre ninguno de estos chicos blancos. Ninguno de estos chicos blancos funciona así". Básicamente, Dave parece estar diciendo que no está viendo comediantes blancos atacándose entre sí, sin embargo, Katt hizo todo lo contrario, despotricando contra comediantes afroamericanos.
Chappelle añadió que "las personas heridas daña a la gente", y reconoció que él mismo es una persona herida... y no se le ve lanzando veneno a sus compañeros cómicos.
Él defendió a un par de objetivos de Katt, específicamente a Cedric the Entertainer y Steve Harvey. Aunque a ambos les dieron duro en el escenario.
Cedric se llevó la peor parte. Chappelle dijo que ir después de Cedric no tenía sentido (Katt dijo que robaba chistes), ya que es "viejo" y "gordo". Poadríamos pensar que Cedric tiene a Dave entre ceja y ceja por esos adjetivos.

En cuanto a Steve, Dave dijo que no debería recibir ningún ataque porque está fuera del juego de stand-up en este momento, centrándose más en la presentación de programas de televisión como "Family Feud" y "Judge Steve Harvey".
Chappelle añadió su imitación de Katt también -lleno de blasfemias y una voz aguda- antes de señalar que Katt nunca se enfocó en sí mismo, y en lugar de eso se preocupó de lo que los otros comediantes afroamericanos se decían el uno al otro.
Otro gran momento fue cuando Dave rechazó la afirmación de que lo que hizo Katt era bueno para la comedia -un argumento que el comediante Deray Davis trató de demostrar en el escenario- diciendo que él lanzó un especial el mismo día de la entrevista y lo hizo bien.
Si aún no has oído los comentarios de Williams... ¡maldita sea, fueron muchos! Le lanzó veneno a Cedric, Steve, Ludacris, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Trick Daddy y muchos más. Algunos le han respondido a Katt, mientras que otros se han mantenido en silencio.
Katt se mantuvo alejado de Dave en el Club Shay Shay y probablemente se mantendrá así en el futuro.
Dave Chappelle Calls Out Katt Williams Interview ... No Shade At 'White Boys'
Dave Chappelle's responding to Katt Williams' viral Club Shay Shay interview ... and he's pissed about who KW went and fired at.
The controversial actor/comedian did a stand-up set at MonDeRays at the Hollywood Improv Friday night where he shared his disappointment with Katt -- particularly outraged that his fellow comedian exclusively went after Black comedians.

DC said, "He ethered n*****. He didn't say anything about any of these white boys. None of these white boys function like that." Basically, Dave seems to be saying he's not seeing white comedians rake each other over the coals ... but Katt went after a whole lotta Black artists.
Chappelle added that "hurt people hurt people," but acknowledged he, himself, is also a hurt person ... and you don't see him throwing shade at his fellow comics.
He did defend a couple of Katt's targets -- specifically Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey -- though both guys caught a couple strays in his defense.
CTE got it worse ... Chappelle said going after Cedric -- who Katt said was stealing jokes -- makes no sense because he's "old" and "fat" ... ya gotta think Cedric might be throwing a bit of side-eye at Dave for those adjectives.

As for SH, Dave said he shouldn't draw any ire because he's out of the stand-up game at this point -- focusing more on hosting TV shows like "Family Feud" and "Judge Steve Harvey."
Chappelle added his impersonation of Katt too -- full of profanity and a high-pitched voice -- before pointing out KW never really copped to anything he did ... instead choosing to focus on what other comedians did to one another.
Another big moment ... Dave rejected the claim what Katt did was good for comedy -- an argument comedian Deray Davis tried to make onstage -- saying quite simply that he put a special out the same day as the interview ... and it did fine.
If you haven't heard Williams' comments by now ... damn, there were a lot! He went after Cedric, Steve, Ludacris, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Trick Daddy and a crap ton more -- some have responded to Katt while others have stayed quiet.
Katt stayed away from Dave on Club Shay Shay ... he's probably not going to in the future.

UFC's Cowboy Cerrone Crazy Training For Dana White's Twisted Steel ... I'm On My Bull S***!!

Exclusive

Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is living up to his nickname ... explaining how and why he's the one to conquer Dana White's 1,400 lb. bull, Twisted Steel!
The retired MMA fighter joined the TMZ Sports TV show (airs nightly on FS1) this week where he revealed his insane training regimen ... as he preps for the UFC honcho's 5-year-old beast, which he'll attempt to ride at an upcoming show.
"Next Monday, I'm getting on eight bulls," the 40-year-old said. "We're just gonna go, go, go, go."
"It's gonna be wild and crazy!"
Of course, Dana and Donald recently made a bet ... with a total of $100k on the line, if Cerrone can stay right side up on Twisted Steel for 8 seconds.
Sounds easy? Not so fast ... just three riders have managed the feat in a total of 34 runs -- and those guys were pros.
Here's hoping Cerrone is the fourth 'cause the money will go to charity.
"All the money donations will go straight to kid's camp," Cerrone said. "We're riding for a cause, if you will."
Let's see if he can hang -- literally!

Larry Merchant Recovering At Home ... After Being Hospitalized W/ Vertigo

Don't count out Larry Merchant ... the legendary boxing announcer tells TMZ Sports he's on the mend after a bout with vertigo that put him in the hospital!
We broke the story ... 92-year-old Merchant was rushed to the emergency room just days before Christmas, and things appeared bleak for the former HBO Boxing commentator.
But, Larry himself tells us he's on the mend!
Merchant says he was diagnosed with vertigo, but after receiving treatment, he was sprung from the hospital after just a few days. He's now recovering at home, and he says he's doing well.
According to WebMD, "Vertigo is a sensation of feeling off balance. If you have these dizzy spells, you might feel like you are spinning or that the world around you is spinning."
Merchant says he "appreciated the outpouring" of support, and even joked it was like witnessing his funeral.
Merchant, who worked alongside fellow greats like Jim Lampley, George Foreman, Roy Jones Jr., and Harold Lederman, laid down his microphone in 2012 ... and is widely regarded as one of the greatest commentators in the history of the sport.
Get well soon, Larry!

Junior dos Santos Ngannou Proved MMA Fighters Can Hang W/ Best Boxers!

Exclusive

Junior dos Santos and Francis Ngannou once shared the Octagon (albeit for not very long), but that doesn't mean the MMA legend isn't impressed with The Predator's success in the boxing ring!
Cigano's thrilled for his former opponent ... and as a matter of fact, he wouldn't mind a rematch in the squared circle sometime down the road.
TMZ Sports talked to 39-year-old dos Santos earlier this week ahead of his fight with Alan Belcher (more on that soon) ... when we asked Junior about Francis' move to the boxing ring.
"I'm so happy for [Ngannou]," Junior told us, explaining ... "All the boxing guys are always talking, saying on the striking side we are not able to go there and put on a good performance against them."
Junior believes Francis proved the opposite against Tyson Fury ... MMA fighters can hang with the very best when it comes to striking with just hands.
"Francis Ngannou was fighting probably the biggest heavyweight in the history who never lost a fight," JDS explained, adding, "and he did what he did. I was there. That was so amazing to see that. And, it showed what kind of work we [MMA fighters] do."
Now, Francis has another massive challenge in front of him in the form of Anthony Joshua next month ... and Junior is clearly cautioning folks not to count him out.
FYI, JDS is well aware of what Francis can do. The two stars fought back in June 2019 ... but after a flurry of punches, the fight was stopped just 1:11 seconds into the first round, with Ngannou winning by TKO.
Junior wouldn't mind running things back!
"That would be amazing, too! I think actually that would be something very good, not just for me, but for him, as well."
For dos Santos, any fight with Ngannou would be down the line. First, he's got a big-time matchup with 39-year-old Belcher, who is coming off a decision win over Roy Nelson at Gamebred Fighting Championship 6, Jorge Masvidal's bare-knuckle MMA promotion.
Junior and Alan are slated to scrap on March 2 in Orlando -- with the inaugural heavyweight championship on the line -- and JDS had a lot to say about the matchup!

Pauly Shore I Know Richard's Mad About My Movie But I Honestly Mean Well!!!
Richard Simmons made very clear this week that he doesn't approve of Pauly Shore making a movie about him/his life -- but Pauly thinks he'll win the guy over ... eventually.
The actor touched down at the Salt Lake City Int'l Airport Thursday, where he's in town for the Sundance Film Festival that's going down this weekend in neighboring Park City. Right off the bat, photogs on hand were ready to pepper him with questions about this film of his.
Of course, the big one being ... do you think it's right to proceed with this Richard Simmons biopic -- even though the man himself hasn't given his blessing ... explicitly so.
Check out Pauly's take here, 'cause he touches on a few different things. For starters, he thinks RS might be singing this tune today ... but could well be feeling completely different about it by tomorrow. More importantly, though, he thinks intention is everything with this.
From Pauly's view, he's not coming from a vindictive place -- and he vows to do Richard justice in his portrayal of him. He also says straight up ... build it, and they'll come!
Pauly goes on to explain that he genuinely believes once Richard can see this new short film of his -- on which the forthcoming biopic will be based -- RS will come around to seeing his things his way, basically suggesting the work will be good ... and it'll be done right by Rich.
Bottom line for Pauly here ... people love Richard, and they also love him -- and he says folks are itching to see both of them make a comeback in a big way.
His question is ... what's wrong with giving the people what they want?!?
Time will tell if Richard does, in fact, warm up to the idea. For now, he's very much anti-this.

Riña en el aeropuerto de Atlanta Salvaje video muestra a una mujer peleando con el personal Es despedida...
Una mujer fue recientemente despedida de su trabajo como barista en el aeropuerto, pero ella no se iba a ir sin decir nada, muy por el contrario, se fue pateando, gritando, ¡¡¡y peleando con todo el mundo!!!
Este salvaje video muestra una riña sin tregua en una cafetería Harvest & Grounds dentro del Aeropuerto de Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson el sábado, y la señora que aparece como protagonista sin duda quería pelearse con sus gerentes y el equipo en general.
De hecho, llegaron a los golpes, se empujaron y todo duró muchísimo tiempo.
En cuanto a cómo comenzó el caos, la policía dice que tuvo que ver con un desacuerdo entre esta mujer y un compañero de trabajo, sobre los shots de café espresso, al menos según el informe de la policía obtenido por el medio 11Alive.
No está claro cuál era el problema exactamente, pero esta discusión se convirtió en lo que ven aquí. Hasta los gerentes tuvieron que involucrarse en la pelea para evitar que la mujer atacara a una persona detrás del mostrador. Desafortunadamente, eso no la detuvo, porque dio un gran salto para llegar hasta allí.
Como se puede ver, su jefe pregunta abiertamente si alguien está llamando a la policía. Finalmente esta apareció, pero no antes de que una silla casi fuera arrojada en el proceso. Cuando los oficiales llegaron, la mujer se había ido... y sí, fue despedida como resultado.
No se puede decir con certeza, pero parece que alguien se quedó sin su taza de café...
ATL Airport Brawl Fired Female Employee ... Fights Managers, Staff In Wild Video
A woman recently got canned from her barista job at the airport, but she wasn't going to leave quietly -- on the contrary, she went kicking and screaming ... fighting everybody!!!
This wild video shows an all-out brawl going down at a Harvest & Grounds coffee shop within the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Saturday -- and the lady featured as the main character here certainly wanted to scrap with her managers/the team at large.
Indeed, hands were thrown ... and bodies were flung ... and it lasted a damn long while too.
As for how this mayhem even got started -- cops are saying it all had to do with a disagreement between this woman and a coworker ... who were apparently bickering about espresso shots, at least according to the police report obtained by the outlet 11Alive.
Unclear what exactly the issue was ... but this argument escalated into what you see here -- with her managers getting into the mix to hold her back from attacking a person behind the counter. Unfortunately, that didn't stop her ... 'cause she made a big leap to get over there.
As you can see, her boss is openly asking if folks are calling cops -- and the police did, indeed, show up eventually ... but not before a chair almost got chucked in the process. When officers arrived, this woman was long gone ... and yes, she was terminated as a result.
Can't say this with any certainty ... but it sounds like somebody missed their morning Joe.

Nos encontramos con el comediante el lunes en LAX y le preguntamos acerca de esta nueva disputa en la que parece encontrarse con el jefe de Tesla, quien recientemente lo etiquetó de "progre", además de "débil". Por supuesto, Elon parecía estar respondiéndole a John en su programa el mes pasado.

Esto es lo que Elon tenía que decir en respuesta a un artículo que básicamente destrozó el segmento "Last Week Tonight", Elon escribió: "Es bastante trágico ver a un comediante tan capaz como @iamjohnoliver convertirse en alguien débil".
Y añadió: "La razón por la que no es muy divertido estos días, es porque está demasiado dispuesto a complacer a los progres, lo cual es fundamentalmente una mentira, mientras que el gran humor se trata de revelar la verdad".
Bueno, ahora John le está respondiendo a Elon, acusándolo de ir por la vida como un "progre"... básicamente la palabra favorita de Musk estos días. En nuestro paseo y charla con John, básicamente se encogió de hombros sobre lo que cree que Elon piensa de él.
La única cosa que John sabe con certeza acerca de Elon es que es bastante sensible, pero en cuanto a lo que Elon argumenta ... John dice que no puede hacer de psicólogo para un tipo como el Sr. Musk. ¡De hecho, dice que no está seguro de que Elon sepa lo que quiere decir!
Nuestro fotógrafo le hizo una gran pregunta: ¿crees que la disputa continuará? A lo que John tuvo una respuesta hilarante. Esto demuestra que Elon está equivocado respecto al sentiudo del humor de John.

John Oliver and Elon Musk have been in a little back and forth lately -- and with the ball technically in JO's court ... he's now picking it up and giving his response to us.
We got the comedian Monday at LAX and asked about this new feud he seems to find himself in with the Tesla chief -- who recently labeled him "woke" ... not to mention calling him "weak sauce." Of course, Elon appeared to be responding to John highlighting him on his show last month.
It is rather tragic to see an otherwise capable comedian like @iamjohnoliver become weak sauce.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 2, 2024 @elonmusk
The reason he is not very funny these days is because he is too keen to pander to wokeness, which is fundamentally a lie, whereas great humor requires revealed truth.
Here's what Elon had to say in response to an article that basically trashed John's 'Last Week Tonight' segment -- which picked Elon apart in great detail. EM wrote, "It is rather tragic to see an otherwise capable comedian like @iamjohnoliver become weak sauce."
He added, "The reason he is not very funny these days is because he is too keen to pander to wokeness, which is fundamentally a lie, whereas great humor requires revealed truth."
Welp, now John's weighing in on Elon's gripe with him -- namely, accusing him of going "woke" ... which is basically EM's favorite word these days. In our walk-and-chat with JO ... he basically shrugged his shoulders on what it is he thinks Elon thinks of him.
The one thing John knows for sure about Elon is that he's thin-skinned as hell -- but as far as what Elon's getting at with his "woke" argument ... John says he can't play psychologist for a dude like Mr. Musk. In fact, he says he's not sure Elon knows what he means!
Our photog asked one big question -- do you think your feud will continue on??? John has a hilarious response ... and to us, it kinda proves Elon wrong in his assessment of humor.
Check it out and weigh in for yourself.
