Fights

The UFC and WWE are now owned by the same company, and that couldn't be clearer Monday night ... UFC star Michael Chandler showed up to Raw and cut a wild promo, attacking "candy ass" Conor McGregor!

"What's up Anaheim? You are now in the presence of the most entertaining UFC fighter on the planet," Iron Mike screamed to the packed crowd at the Hondo Center, and then he took aim at The Notorious.

"There's a man from Ireland that's been making me wait way too long, and I still got one dude on my mind, Conor McGregor, get your candy ass back to the Octagon! We got some unfinished business boys, God bless! I'll see you at the top!"

It was a cool, unexpected moment ... and it likely won't be the last time a UFC star has the mic at a WWE event, and perhaps vice versa.

Last year, the UFC's parent company, Endeavor, merged with WWE ... creating TKO Group Holdings, an enormous company with a market cap of nearly $15 billion. The Rock sits on the company's board. Ari Emanuel is the CEO.

As for what Chandler said from just outside the squared circle, he took a shot at McGregor ... as the pair still doesn't have an official fight date despite almost a year passing since the men coached against each other on "The Ultimate Fighter."

Last month, it finally appeared the guys had decided on a date ... June 29 in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, there's been nothing set in stone since.

Chrisean Rock seems to be responding to a lawsuit on social media ... penning an angry tweet calling out an unnamed person for wasting money on a lawyer.

The rapper took to X to vent her frustration in an expletive-laden tweet calling out a "big back bitch n****" for going after her money -- and saying this person's not getting a cent.

Now, Chrisean didn't say exactly to whom she was referring ... but we do know she's involved in one major lawsuit right now over an alleged assault at Tamar Braxton's show back in November.

As we reported ... TV personality James Wright is suing Chrisean for allegedly assaulting him backstage at Braxton's concert. He claims she left him with multiple face lacerations and two broken teeth.

Wright was reportedly hospitalized after the show in Downtown Los Angeles ... and Tamar later opened up about the alleged incident during an emotional Instagram Live.

We also got video of Chrisean breaking up a prayer circle before the concert ... but sources told us this had no bearing on the alleged incident -- and everyone laughed off the moment.

Despite the lawsuit, Chrisean seems pretty committed to keeping her money where it is ... at least if her tweet is any indication.

Bobby Shmurda se lió a puñetazos la madrugada del domingo en un club de Londres.

Bobby y su séquito estaban pasando el rato en el club nocturno Proud Cabaret alrededor de las 4 AM, y después de interpretar dos canciones, se metió en una acalorada discusión con el promotor del club.

Hubo empujones y en un momento Bobby supuestamente escupió a alguien de la multitud.

Poco después de la pelea, Bobby y la tripulación salieron del club. La pelea pasó a segundo plano y nadie llamó a la policía y la fiesta continuó. Nos dicen que nadie resultó herido.

Bobby Shmurda got into it in the wee hours Sunday, as fists flew at a London club.

Bobby and his entourage were hanging out at the Proud Cabaret nightclub at around 4 AM, and after he performed 2 songs, he got into a heated argument with the club promoter.

There was pushing, shoving and at one point Bobby allegedly spit at someone in the crowd.

Shortly after the fight, Bobby and crew said peace out and left the club. The scuffle was soon forgotten, and no cops were called and the party continued We're told no one was injured.

La jueza de Las Vegas que fue brutalmente atacada por un delincuente que se abalanzó contra ella dice que estaba totalmente horrorizada y que habría muerto si el personal de la corte no se hubiera apresurado en ayudarla.

El 7 de febrero, la jueza del Tribunal de Distrito del Condado de Clark, Mary Kay Holthus prestó declaración ante el gran jurado en el caso de intento de asesinato por parte de Deobra Redden, según una transcripción obtenida por Fox 5 Las Vegas. Redden fue acusado recientemente de un delito grave por agredir a Holthus en la sala del tribunal.

En enero, Redden fue grabado por un equipo de televisión saltando por encima del banquillo y abalanzándose sobre Holthus mientras el personal lo contenía y sacaba de la sala. Las imágenes se hicieron virales de inmediato.

En su testimonio, Holthus dijo que empezó la audiencia correspondiente a la sentencia escuchando a Redden hablar de sus planes para conseguir un trabajo y hacer un cambio positivo en su vida, señalando que estaba "super tranquilo". El abogado de Redden entonces pidió al tribunal que dejara a su cliente en libertad condicional.

Pero Holthus hizo caso omiso a su petición y decidió revocar su libertad condicional después de su condena por intento de agresión no relacionada con lesiones corporales sustanciales.

La jueza destacó que Redden era un delincuente reincidente y que necesitaba "probar otra cosa porque no podía con ese historial".

Según la transcripción del gran jurado, Holthus recordó: "Lo siguiente que sé es que, literalmente, saltó la mesa de la defensa y voló antes de que yo pudiera siquiera, y me estampó contra la pared. No sé qué me golpeó dónde".

Dijo que el feroz ataque fue totalmente inesperado e "increíblemente rápido". Redden le golpeó la cabeza contra la pared de mármol.

En un momento dado, Holthus recordó que Redden la agarró por el pelo y "la tiró hacia atrás", mientras ella se acurrucaba en posición fetal, tumbada "absolutamente aterrorizada". Dijo que sufrió heridas por todo el cuerpo, que ahora estaba "abultado y magullado".

A pesar de la paliza, Holthus le dio créditos a Redden por sus habilidades atléticas para saltar fácilmente sobre el banquillo, de cuatro pies de altura.

También compartió su gratitud por el personal de la corte diciendo: "Si no hubieran estado allí, yo no estaría aquí. Yo no era rival. Me estaba derribando absolutamente".

Holthus añadió: "Si hubiera sido solo yo, no habría sobrevivido a múltiples golpes en la cabeza, que es claramente a donde íbamos con él. Así que estoy muy agradecida".

The Las Vegas judge brutally attacked by an acrobatic felon who leaped over her court bench says she was totally horrified and would have been killed if court staff had not rushed to her aid.

On February 7, Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus provided grand jury testimony in the attempted murder case of Deobra Redden, according to a transcript obtained by Fox 5 Las Vegas. Redden was recently indicted on the felony charge for his courtroom assault on Holthus.

In January, Redden was recorded by a TV news crew jumping over the bench and pummeling Holthus as the staff pulled him off and restrained him. When the footage hit the airwaves, it immediately went viral.

In her testimony, Holthus said she started off the sentencing hearing that day by listening to Redden talk about his plans to get a job to make a positive change in his life, pointing out that he was "super calm." Redden's attorney then asked the court to release his client on parole.

But, Holthus ignored the request and decided to revoke Redden's parole after his conviction for an unrelated attempted battery with substantial bodily harm.

The judge highlighted that Redden was a repeat offender who needed to get a "taste of something else because I just can’t with that history."

Per the grand jury transcript, Holthus recalled, “The next thing I know, he literally jumped that defense table and flew before I could even, and just slammed me into the wall. I don’t know what hit me where.”

She said the ferocious attack was totally unexpected and "incredibly fast," as Redden slammed her head against the marble wall.

At one point, Holthus remembered Redden gripping her by the hair and "throwing her down backwards," while she curled up in a fetal position, laying there "absolutely terrified." She said she suffered injuries all over her body, which were now "lumpy and bruised."

Despite the vicious beating, Holthus gave Redden props for his athletic abilities to easily jump over her elevated four-foot-high bench.

She also shared her gratitude for court personnel, stating, “If they hadn’t been there, I would not be here. I was no match. He was absolutely taking me out.”

Holthus added, “If it was just me, I wouldn’t have survived multiple blows to the head which is clearly where we were going with it. So I’m very thankful.”

Kanye West is firing back at Taylor Swift fans who are trying to block him from a top spot on the music charts ... telling them he's not an enemy, though not exactly a friend either.

Here's the deal ... Swifties are calling on other Swifties to buy and stream Beyoncé's new country music to block Kanye's new music from getting the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Kanye's seen the "SWIFTIE EMERGENCY" on social media and now he's firing back ... and making some interesting counterpoints.

Ye says Swifties shouldn't be coming after him because, in his mind, he's been far more helpful than harmful to Taylor's career. Kanye's views in Wednesday's post jibe with what he's rapped about before ... namely, "I made that b**** famous."

Of course, T-Swift and Kanye have beefed ever since he crashed her 2009 VMA win to say Beyoncé had a better music video ... although, Ye is of the belief the longstanding drama has actually elevated Taylor's profile.

Here, Kanye also points out he was on Taylor's side when Scooter Braun bought her master recordings of which her dad reportedly made $15 million from ... and he says TayTay and Beyoncé are actually big inspirations to all musicians, including himself.

Kanye name-dropping Taylor on his new "Vultures" album seems to have opened up some wounds ... but he says the album is actually super positive and fun.

Two passengers went toe-to-toe on a mid-air flight, with one pummeling the other as the crew finally stepped in to break up the confrontation.

The violence erupted Monday on a Southwest commercial jet heading from Oakland to Hawaii. As soon as the fists started flying the camera started rolling.

Check out this video posted by a witness to Instagram … both men were arguing over some nonsense when one of them turned into Floyd Mayweather, connecting with a series of punches to the other dude’s face.

Fellow passengers and flight attendants quickly jumped in, pulling the two guys apart. When the plane landed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, the troublemakers were detained by local authorities, but it was unclear if they were arrested or charged. As for any injuries, the guy whose head was used as a punching bag looked okay ... or seemed so anyway.

A rep for Southwest issued the following statement to Hawaii News Now … "The flight landed safely at its scheduled destination, and local authorities met the flight upon arrival."

Dos pasajeros se enredaron en una pelea en pleno vuelo, con un hombre lanzando un puñetazo a otro mientras la tripulación intervenía para intentar poner fin al enfrentamiento.

La violencia estalló el lunes en un avión comercial de Southwest que se dirigía de Oakland a Hawai, y tan pronto como los puños comenzaron a volar, la cámara comenzó a rodar.

Echa un vistazo a este video publicado por un testigo en Instagram donde se ve a los dos hombres discutiendo por una tontería hasta que uno de ellos decidió convertirse en Floyd Mayweather y lanzar una serie de puñetazos en la cara del otro tipo.

Rápidamente, los pasajeros y auxiliares de vuelo intervinieron para separar a los dos tipos. Cuando el avión aterrizó en la isla de Kauai, los alborotadores fueron detenidos por las autoridades locales, pero no quedó claro si fueron arrestados o acusados. En cuanto a las lesiones, el tipo que recibió la mayoría de los golpes parecía estar bien... o eso parecía.

Un representante de Southwest emitió la siguiente declaración a Hawaii News Now: "El vuelo aterrizó con seguridad en su destino programado y las autoridades locales se reunieron con el vuelo a su llegada".

Mike Epps no se asusta con las amenazas de Shannon Sharpe, quien asegura que las calles no son seguras para él... esto después de que el cómico recientemente bromeara a sus expensas.

La reciente amenaza de Shannon fue en su pódcast con Chad OchoCino, en el que Shannon afirmó que Mike había mentido sobre su nombre (más sobre esto más adelante). El propio Mike se pronunció en línea para hacerle frente a ella el lunes, aclarando el asunto.

A propósito, Mike hizo un monólogo hace una semana donde se burló de Shannon y de sus entrevistas virales en el "Club Shay Shay", en particular la de Katt Williams. En su set, Mike dijo algunas bromas homofóbicas a expensas de Shannon, lo cual llamó la atención y encendió su furia.

El domingo -mientras grababa su pódcast con Chad- Shannon se descargó contra Mike sin nombrarlo y dijo que las bromas homosexuales no le molestaban, pero la "mentira" sí lo hizo. Además, sugirió que se enfrentaría a Mike pronto.

Bueno, Mike tiene una respuesta, explicando que le envió un mensaje a Shannon después de la entrevista ahora infame con Katt, durante la cual Mike dice que sintió que Shannon estaba tratando de provocar a Katt para que criticara a su ex compañero de "Friday", a pesar de que nunca lo hizo.

Mike dice que cree que Shannon está tratando de hacer que la gente diga cosas salvajes sobre los demás solo para ganar clics, y sobre la cuestión de reunirse, Mike dice que no hay problema.

Ahora, él nota que ya no hay más polémica, y parece que no quiere ponerse físico con el ex tight end (francamente, nadie quiere), pero sigue burlándose de Shannon.

A propósito, Mike tiene algunas palabras para el compañero de Shannon, Chad, y algunos insultos extra.

Mike y Shannon están obligados a cruzar sus caminos el próximo fin de semana en el NBA All-Star Weekend 2024, que solo se celebra en la ciudad natal de Mike de Indianápolis. Así que, las cosas realmente están sucediendo.

1:05 PM PT -- And just like that, there will be no Naptown beatdown during NBA All-Star Weekend from either Mike Epps or Shannon Sharpe's camps ... the "Club Shay Shay" host is issuing an apology for escalating the situation and promises a "man-to-man" sit down soon.

Mike Epps isn't backing down from Shannon Sharpe's apparent threat that the streets aren't safe for him ... this, after the comic recently took some big shots at the HOF'er.

In response to SS's recent tirade against him on his podcast with Chad OchoCino -- in which Shannon claimed Mike had lied on his name (more on this later) -- ME himself hopped online to address it Monday ... clarifying who reached out to who, and what the deal is.

ICYMI ... Mike did a stand-up set about a week ago where he made fun of Shannon and his viral "Club Shay Shay" interviews lately, particularly the Katt Williams one. In his set, Mike said Shannon had reached out to him for a follow-up sit-down -- and then went on to make some homophobic jokes at Shannon's expense ... all of which caught Shannon's attention/fury.

On Sunday -- while recording his pod with Chad -- Shannon unloaded on Mike without ever naming him -- and said the gay jokes didn't bother him ... but the "lying," as he put it, did. He went to suggest he'd be confronting Mike about this soon, and perhaps more.

Welp, Mike's got a response to Shannon now ... explaining he had actually DM'd Shannon in the aftermath of Katt's now-infamous interview -- during which Mike says he felt Shannon was trying to bait KW into trashing his former 'Friday' costar, even though he never did.

Mike says he thinks Shannon is out here trying to get people to say wild things about others just for clicks -- and on the issue of meeting up ... ME says they can do that too.

Now, he does note he doesn't fight anymore -- so it doesn't sound like he wants to get physical with the former tight end (frankly, nobody does) ... but he continues to taunt SS.

BTW ... Mike has some shots for Shannon's pod partner, Chad, and some insults to boot.

Mike and Shannon are bound to cross paths next weekend at 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend ... which just happens to be in Mike's hometown of Indianapolis. So ... things are happening.

Cheryl Hines isn't blaming Larry David for beating up Elmo ... saying producers should've known better than to put the two of them on the same set.

The actress -- who starred alongside Larry in 101 episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- defended her television ex-husband during Wednesday's episode of "Literally with Rob Lowe," saying the people behind the show should've known something was bound to go down.

CH said quite frankly, "He doesn't care. He doesn't care about a puppet! He doesn't care about human beings" ... maybe a bit harsh, but Larry has cultivated a sourpuss persona over the years.

CH continued by saying Larry's made a career out of telling people he doesn't care about their feelings ... so obviously a puppet preaching mental health lessons was bound to set him off.

Cheryl made it clear Elmo didn't do anything wrong -- saying he didn't "ask for this" -- and instead pinning the blame on showrunners.

It's all clearly in good fun for Cheryl ... though others in the television industry didn't take the attack as well as she did.

As we previously reported ... Wil Wheaton completely torched David online after video of his appearance on 'Today' went viral. The 'Star Trek' actor blasted LD, saying his attack triggered traumatic memories of his own abuse at the hands of his father.

Larry's yet to respond to Wil's condemnation ... but if Cheryl or his on-camera "apologies" are to be believed, it's unlikely WW's getting a genuine "sorry" anytime soon.

The Super Bowl may not be the most star-studded sporting event in Vegas these next few days ... 'cause Dana White's Power Slap 6 Friday night in Sin City had some of the biggest stars in the world, including Tom Brady and Travis Scott!

And we've got a bunch of pics and video from the event.

It wasn't just TB 12 and La Flame in the building ... Charles Barkley, Pat McAfee, Johnny Manziel, Taylor Lewan, Bert Kreischer, IShowSpeed, billionaire Michael Rubin, and a bunch of others were also there for the festivities -- and judging by the stars, it slapped.

Friday night marked the first event White held outside of the UFC's own Apex center ... going down at the Durango Resort, marking a big step forward for the young org.

We talked to Dana backstage during the event (while he wasn't rubbing shoulders with Tom and Travis) ... and asked him about the night.

"This is the first time ever selling tickets. We sold VIP packages. It was a good night," White said with a big smile on his face.

As for the action on the mats, the main event, Manny Muniz vs. Christopher Thomas, was a barn burner ... and the scrap DW was most looking forward to.

"Muniz has never been knocked out, and Chris Thomas knocks everybody out," White told us.

Manny ended up beating Chris by knockout in the 5th round.

We also talked to UFC legend Chuck Liddell at the event ... and while it's clear he likes watching, it doesn't sound like he's going to be coming out of retirement to compete at Power Slap 7.

Jax Taylor was also in the house ... and the former "Vanderpump Rules" star told us how he became a slap-fighting fan.

Taylor says he initially saw highlights on Instagram, so he messaged Power Slap ... which led to an invite from Dana.

El contencioso divorcio entre Brad Pitt y Angelina Jolie podría estar cerca de terminar, con cada una de las estrellas realizando uno de los últimos pasos para alcanzar un acuerdo.

De acuerdo con documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, tanto Pitt como Jolie le están entregando sus declaraciones financieras finales a la otra parte, que es digno de mencionar teniendo en cuenta que no ha habido mucho movimiento en su caso de divorcio por lo menos en un par de años.

Los términos finales de cualquier acuerdo de divorcio aún no se han presentado, pero los archivos del jueves indican que uno de los matrimonios y divorcios más legendarios y enconados en la historia reciente de Hollywood finalmente está llegando a su fin.

Cada vez que las partes en disputa presentan sus documentos financieros significa que el final está cerca.

Recuerden, Brad y Angelina se conocieron por primera vez en el set de "Sr. y la Sra. Smith" en 2004, cuando Brad todavía estaba casado con Jennifer Aniston. La pareja en pantalla se mantuvo como amigos durante todo el rodaje, aunque Brad se separó de Jennifer más o menos un año después.

Brad y Angelina rápidamente se involucraron después de que se anunciara su separación y construyeron una gran familia durante los siguientes años, con seis hijos en su prole.

Brangelina se comprometió en 2012 y se casó en 2014, pero Angelina pidió el divorcio solo dos años más tarde, en 2016, citando diferencias irreconciliables.

Ese mismo año, Pitt fue acusado de abusar físicamente de al menos uno de sus hijos, a pesar de que fue absuelto por las autoridades después de una investigación y negó las afirmaciones.

Los procedimientos de divorcio continuaron alargándose mucho después de eso y un juez finalmente dictaminó que Brad y Angelina eran legalmente solteros en 2019. Otros elementos del divorcio han estado ocurriendo detrás de cámaras desde entonces y ahora, en 2024, por fin se están acercando a la línea de meta.

Los asuntos se han vuelto más complicados entre Brand y Angie. Recuerden que en 2021, Angelina vendió su parte de una bodega que poseía con Pitt a un oligarca ruso, un movimiento que eventualmente llevó al actor a demandarla por supuestamente no obtener su firma antes de vender. Esa demanda sigue en curso y va por un carril separado al divorcio.

Aunque otras batallas legales podrían todavía persistir, parece que el divorcio es casi un hecho, y ahora, es solo cuestión de tiempo antes de que se haga oficial.

Wil Wheaton says Larry David "attacking" Elmo on TV last week might've been funny to some -- but it was no laughing matter to him ... 'cause it triggered old, ugly memories.

The 'Star Trek' actor had a strong reaction to the 'Curb' star putting his hands on the "Sesame Street" puppet on the 'Today' show -- taking to Facebook to write a lengthy essay that slammed LD ... while in the same breath explaining why it rocked him to his core.

He writes, "What the f*** is wrong with that guy? Elmo is, like, the best friend to multiple generations of children. In the Sesame Street universe, ELMO IS A CHILD, who is currently putting mental health and caring for others in the spotlight."

WW adds ... "And Larry F***ing David ... did ... that? And thought it was going to be ... funny? What? What an ass****. What a stupid, self-centered, tone deaf ass****."

Wil goes on to say that his dad used to abuse him as a kid -- shaking him by the shoulders and screaming in his face, among other things, and he says seeing Larry do that to Elmo had his heart racing as it dredged up internal trauma in his mind. He's quite serious, too.

He finishes by saying what Elmo means to so many kids -- especially in that segment, where he promoted mental health awareness -- makes Larry's attack all that much more sickening.

Wil ends with ... "A man who would belittle and mock that isn't much of a man at all. Shame on you, Larry David." This tirade of his, BTW, ended up being some 900 words on FB.

FWIW, Larry did "apologize" to Elmo shortly after his outburst ... and clearly thought it was all in good fun. Apparently not, though, from Wil's POV -- dude is straight-up outraged and hurt.

WHEN's unclear, but put the IF question to bed ... 'cause Tyson Fury ain't quitting boxing, and absolutely, positively says he will return to the ring!

The legendary pugilist even laid out a tentative 5 fight blueprint ... and it's got some of the biggest names in the sport.

“I keep hearing talk of people saying that I should retire or that I’m going to retire soon or whatever. I ain’t retiring anywhere!" Fury, directly addressing the camera, told his social media followers.

Of course, 35-year-old Tyson was set to fight Oleksandr Usyk later this month, but was forced to pull out of the title fight after sustaining a wicked cut over his eye during a sparring sesh.

Given all he's accomplished, and with many fans commenting The Gypsy King didn't look like his dominant self against Francis Ngannou last year, some speculated he'd hang up his gloves.

But, not happening.

In fact, Fury has even laid out a road map for himself ... picking his next three opponents.

“I got two fights with Usyk, for the undisputed, twice. Then I’m going to fight [Anthony Joshua] at least once, maybe twice, if there’s a rematch, if he wants one after the first battering I’m going to give him.”

Tyson continued, announcing another major rematch is in the cards.

“Then I’m going to fight Ngannou again and that’s just the start, so that’s five little fights to wet your appetites with. I ain’t going nowhere, nowhere, 35-year-old prime of my life and I’m ready to smash on.”

That'll be music to Francis' ears. The former UFC champ recently told us he wasn't interested in fighting the winner of Fury-Usyk ... no, he just wants a rematch with Tyson!
