Fights

11:57 AM PT -- A spokesperson from the Arizona Department of Public Safety tells TMZ Sports ... the fracas all began after two women pushed each other.

"One female fell down," the rep said. "A male friend ran after the suspect ... brushing by other males before a fight ensued."

The spokesperson added three men were ultimately arrested for misdemeanor assault.

Several Arizona Cardinals fans whaled on each other in the stands of the team's game Sunday afternoon ... and things turned so violent -- one guy actually left the area leaking blood.

The stands of the Saints vs. Falcons game Sunday looked more like the inside of a UFC Octagon ... as multiple people got into violent fights.

One of the scarier ones happened near the top of Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium- when about four guys began scuffling with one another.

Video from the scene captured by a bystander shows two men in a wrestling match over some seats ... a guy in a No. 11 Falcons jersey was trying to beat up a dude in a red shirt just feet away.

Ailin Pérez may not have gotten her opponent in a rear naked choke during her UFC fight Saturday ... but, she certainly got her own rear working -- twerking in her opponent's face after winning by submission.

The bantamweight fighter hopped in the Octagon at UFC Paris against Daria Zhelezniakova ... and, she quickly dominated her opponent -- getting DZ to tap out in the first round.

Perez jumped to her feet ... and, ya gotta watch as she swished her booty back and forth right in front of her red-faced opponent, still gasping for breath.

Renato Moicano is not overlooking the skills of his UFC Paris opponent Benoit Saint-Denis ... saying he may one day sit atop the division -- but it ain't happening on his watch!

TMZ Sports caught up with the 11th-ranked lightweight contender ... days before he's set to take on 12th-ranked Saint-Denis in his home country of France, and while Moicano sees a bright future for the 28-year-old Frenchman, he's looking to derail his rise to the top.

"I'm here to stop him," Moicano said. "I'm here to get the W in Paris and to keep climbing the rankings."

Devin Haney's clearly still not over how his superfight with Ryan Garcia went down earlier this year ... as TMZ Sports has confirmed he's now suing the star boxer over it all.

The 25-year-old pugilist filed the lawsuit against his nemesis in New York on Friday ... alleging Garcia committed battery and fraud in the leadup to -- and during -- their big April 20 tilt at Barclays Center.

You'll recall, Garcia won the fight after knocking down Haney multiple times ... but the outcome was later ruled a no-contest after officials said Garcia had Ostarine in his system.

The Cowboys won the fight on the field and one of the bigger ones off of it as well on Thursday night ... as a Dallas supporter absolutely pummeled a Giants fan in a tiff at MetLife Stadium during the big game in New Jersey.

The chaos erupted early in the evening ... when a man in a Troy Aikman jersey got so upset with a Lawrence Taylor supporter -- he began beating the hell out of the guy.

Check out footage filmed by a bystander ... the Cowboys fan pulled the dude's Giants jersey over his head, and then unleashed a flurry of right hands.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was in the thick of a physical altercation outside a Miami nightclub ... and TMZ has it all on video.

The heated exchange played out around 4 AM Monday in the parking lot of Coco Miami, with Tekashi and his entourage beefing with another crew ... and tensions were high.

Folks who were there say Tekashi had been partying with a bunch of women inside Coco's VIP section before the scuffle ... and it seemed like a couple of guys wanted to pick a fight.

Boston Celtics star Derrick White clearly ain't happy that he was involved in a melee at the Colorado vs. Colorado State game earlier this month ... telling journalists Tuesday, "I shouldn't have been there."

White spoke briefly on the matter while out at his team's media day ... when a reporter questioned how he was doing some 10 days after he was whacked in the head during a scuffle at the big Sept. 14 rivalry game in Fort Collins.

White said he was feeling just fine -- revealing his advisory's spinning back fist didn't connect flush -- but he did appear to be embarrassed over it all.

Anthony Joshua will fight again, despite losing by KO on Saturday ... with AJ's promoter, Eddie Hearn, telling us the plan is to chill for a bit, and then take a fight next year!

"I had a great chat with him yesterday, and he's like, 'Look, I feel great. Even after getting beat, I feel great,'" Hearn told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (full interview airs tonight on FS1).

Of course, 34-year-old Joshua was shocked by Daniel Dubois over the weekend, losing by 5th round knockout, despite being a heavy favorite in front of a packed house at Wembley.

There was plenty of action on the field during the thrilling 49ers vs. Rams game Sunday -- but there might have been even more off of it ... as a few fans -- including one woman -- got in a wild fight in a SoFi Stadium concourse.

The fracas happened at some point during L.A.'s improbable 27-24 comeback victory over San Francisco ... when a man in a Cooper Kupp jersey and a George Kittle supporter got into a dispute that turned physical.

Video shot by a bystander shows the Niner fan begged the Rams backer to slug him in the face -- and the guy quickly obliged, sticking him with a left jab. Seconds later, a woman who appeared to be with the Kittle fan hopped in to try to avenge the punch.

UFC fighter Colby Covington showed off his moves Saturday by putting Lil Pump in a choke hold, and you see the rapper gasping for air as CC continues to hold his grip.

At a point, you see Lil Pump's body go limp, but Colby doesn't let go. Pump struggles at first to free himself, but at a point, his body fails and his eyes widen.

It's unclear how long Colby had Pump in the hold. The video starts with Covington choking Pump, and you see the UFC fighter tighten his grip. That lasted for around 10 seconds before Covington released the hold.

Raul Rosas Jr. says he's ready for a ranked opponent ... as the 19-year-old MMA star hopes to supplant Jon Jones as the youngest-ever UFC champion!

TMZ Sports talked to Rosas Jr. fresh off his unanimous decision victory over Qileng Aori at UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas ... and RR says he wants a step up in competition.

"I still have to talk to my manager about what's next. Obviously, that's what I would love and that's what I want 'cause I know it would take me a step closer to my dream, which is to become a UFC champion," Raul told us.

Canelo Alvarez's strength and punching power may scare some boxers, but not Terence Crawford, who tells TMZ Sports he's absolutely sure he'd get the victory over the Mexican superstar if the two fought.

Of course, at the moment, it's a big "if" ... as even though Crawford's made it clear he wants the scrap -- Canelo doesn't seem so sure.

If you missed it, following his Saturday night victory over Edgar Berlanga -- which Crawford actually attended -- Canelo said straight up "no comment" when asked about a potential tilt with Bud.

Derrick White was hit in the head by a spinning backfist on Saturday, new video obtained by TMZ Sports shows ... and it all appeared to be because the NBA champion was showing love for his alma mater.

White, a Boston Celtics star and a Univ. of Colorado alum, attended the Buffaloes' big rivalry matchup with Colorado State over the weekend at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins in some CU swag ... and, initially, it looked like he was enjoying the game without issue.

But, one witness in attendance tells us during the second quarter ... the hooper got into a bit of a verbal spat with some Rams fans as Deion Sanders and Co. began handling business on the field.
