Fights

The start of the Copa América final on Sunday was delayed by over an hour after unruly fans created absolute chaos outside of the event ... and people's behavior didn't get much better once action finally got underway -- as parts of the stadium were left destroyed.

The highly anticipated Argentina vs. Colombia game was slated to kick off at 5 PM PT at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami ... but when supporters from both sides bum-rushed gates in an effort to illegally gain entrance to the contest, officials put a pause on everything.

Check out some images from the outside of the venue ... it was complete mayhem. Fans climbed fences, packed gates, scaled walls -- and even slogged through vents in attempts to get by security to catch the championship game in-person.

Ryan Garcia shared a 2-minute apology video largely aimed at his ex-wife Andrea Celina ... just days after a clip of him allegedly trashing her home went viral, saying he's finally getting help.

"I came on here just to say I'm sorry. Andrea, you're the mother of my children and somebody I'll always have love and respect for," KingRy said.

"I retract all my statements about her. She never stole money from me. She never did wrong by me. She never cheated on me."

DaBaby's taking a plea deal in his 2020 felony battery case ... and we’ve learned the "Rockstar" rapper won't have to do any time for allegedly sucker punching Gary Pagar, the homeowner of a music video shoot location.

DaBaby wasn't in the L.A. County court Thursday, but pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery through his lawyer, Blair Berk, and was sentenced to one-year probation, in addition to time served.

DaBaby was also ordered to pay $10k restitution, to stay 100 yards from Pagar, and is forbidden from possessing firearms and deadly weapons during the probation period.

The ending of the Uruguay vs. Colombia Copa América game took an ugly turn ... as Darwin Núñez was so furious with some opposing fans, he actually rushed into the stands to brawl with them.

The wild scene happened at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte ... just after Colombia had won the semifinal contest, 1-0.

Video from the field shows some Colombian supporters were duking it out in the first rows of the venue with some Uruguayan fans ... when Núñez suddenly climbed up the railing and got involved in the fracas.

Danny Trejo's infamous Fourth of July brawl is now with authorities as cops investigate it as a potential hate crime -- especially after the actor claimed he and his buddy were targeted because of their race.

LAPD sources tell TMZ a battery/hate crimes report has been filed to investigate the incident at the Sunland-Tujunga parade last week ... and authorities are aiming to get to the bottom of what happened.

We're told when cops arrived on scene, most people involved had already booked it ... and those who remained didn't want to lodge a complaint.

England and the Netherlands fans were fighting even before their Euro 2024 semi-final matchup ever kicked off ... with supporters brawling in the streets of Germany before the big-time match-up!

Multiple videos showing Dutch and English fans getting into altercations were spreading all over social media prior to Wednesday's contest. In one video, fans are seen outside a bar and restaurant throwing punches, chairs, and bottles at each other.

All of this is happening in the City of Dortmund -- not too far from the Netherlands border. It is estimated that around 80,000 Dutch fans have descended on the city to support their team, with UK police saying groups of "risk supporters" are amongst the fans looking to cause problems.

Bhad Bhabie says she's confused at the reaction she received after posting video of her getting thrown to the ground by her boyfriend, Le Vaughn, and then revealing a horrendous eye injury ... she says she never said she was staying with him, but the reality is ... that's essentially what she said.

Someone who saw the footage commented on BB's most recent post, "If you cared you'd leave that man. He will abuse you in front of her."

To that Bhad Bhabie responded, "I wasn't gonna speak on this but who said I was staying? What about that post made y'all think I'm staying? Bc I said I love him? Bc I said he's gonna get help? I'm so confused and apparently so are yall."

NBA players Ivica Zubac and Dario Saric were NOT the aggressors when all hell broke loose at a nightclub in Greece ... so says Team Croatia, which claims the two hoopers were forced to act out of self-defense.

TMZ Sports obtained a statement from the Croatian Basketball Federation on what went down at the Bolivar Beach Bar near Athens after the squad's Olympic Qualifying Tournament loss ... and from the org.'s side of things, Zubac and Saric were not looking for a fight -- but had no choice.

"While hanging out at a club in Athens, some of our players were verbally and then physically attacked, prompting them to defend themselves," the CBF tells us. "The incident was brief, thanks to the quick intervention of the club's security staff."

NBA players Ivica Zubac and Dario Saric were involved in an intense physical altercation at a nightclub near Athens, Greece early Monday morning ... just hours after the two competed for Croatia in an Olympic Qualifying Tournament game.

TMZ Sports has obtained video taken inside the popular Bolivar Beach Bar around 5:30 AM ... which starts with the LA Clippers big man already involved in a scrap with someone as several men -- who appear to be club security -- rush up and grab him from behind.

As the chaos unfolds, Saric -- who just agreed to a two-year deal with the Denver Nuggets -- bolts into the crowd to try and help Zubac ... but appears to get shoved by another staffer.

Bhad Bhabie has got everyone worried ... posting some disturbing IG stories showing her ex-BF, Le Vaughn, physically attacking her.

The rapper, AKA Danielle Bregoli, shared the shocking footage Sunday. The video, timestamped from June 30, shows Le -- also the father of her baby daughter -- pushing her to the ground and pressing his knee against her back.

BB also posted pics showing herself with swollen black eyes and facial bruises -- from the alleged assault. The vids and photos have since been deleted from her IG account.

It appears Conor McGregor is inching closer to his UFC return ... 'cause the MMA superstar shared a bunch of sparring snapshots to his Instagram on Monday -- and if they're in fact recent, fans might not have to wait much longer to see him in action.

Notorious -- who backed out of his UFC 303 matchup with Michael Chandler last month due to a toe injury -- added two separate workout posts to his profile over the past 24 hours ... showing him having his way against his partner.

Conor appears to move around the canvas with no issue as he lands kicks and punches ... even to the point where he gets blood on his glove.

Get used to seeing Bam Margera ringside at BKFC ... we've learned the former 'Jackass' star is negotiating with the promotion, and the aim is to bring him on as a broadcaster!

44-year-old Margera has been in talks with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship executives ... and all signs point to Bam joining the commentary team as a color analyst for select events.

It's unclear how often Margera would work with BKFC (they typically have multiple events each month) ... but it wouldn't be a one-off. It'd be a lasting partnership.

Fight fans, if you're holding out hope for a Tai Emery ta-ta flash following her upcoming BKFC scrap -- a la 2022 when she exposed her breasts in the ring after a win -- we have some unfortunate news.

It ain't happenin' this time around!

TMZ Sports spoke with the veteran fighter ahead of her bare-knuckle bout with Charisa Sigala at Super Rizin 3 -- a BKFC/Rizin partnership going down July 28 at Saitama Super Arena -- when we asked the question on the minds of many.

Danny Trejo's Fourth of July brawl was crazier than we originally thought – as TMZ obtained new video, showing the actor throwing the first punch – and a chair -- after getting provoked.

As we reported Thursday, Danny got into a heated battle with some locals at the Sunland-Tujunga, California parade to celebrate America's Independence Day.

But, check out this fresh footage ... which brings the entire incident into focus and shines a bright light on what triggered Danny. It opens with Danny sitting shotgun in a convertible when someone on the street pelts him with a water balloon.

Furious, Danny jumped out of the car and stomped up to a group of people in tents on a sidewalk, zeroing in on the suspected culprit. Suddenly, Danny punched the individual, causing water to splash everywhere and a melee to ensue.

During the fracas, Danny was knocked down, but he got right back up and grabbed a chair, tossing it into the mob. The fight eventually broke up as Danny retreated into the street with some friends.

But then, someone threw another water balloon at Danny, showering his head with H2O. Danny's posse held him back so he wouldn't start throwing left hooks again.

Meanwhile, cops were called to the scene and dispersed the crowd without arresting anyone.

That was good news for Danny, who announced some bad news last week when he posted on Instagram that his beloved chihuahua, Dixie, had died.

Jake Paul is celebrating the launch of his new W body care line in the flashiest way possible ... by getting a $650k diamond pendant and chain to rep the brand!!

TMZ Sports has learned Paul -- a 9-1 cruiserweight boxer, Internet sensation and businessman -- hit up his go-to jeweler Vobara in Miami to make him a piece in honor of his newest endeavor.

Vobara -- who has made pieces for celebs like Rick Ross, Udonis Haslem and DJ Khaled -- made sure the pendant looked just like the W logo ... and we're told it's filled with VS/VVS diamonds including 20, 50 and 80 pointers in a mosaic setting.
