Rener Gracie -- whose family is credited with creating Brazilian jiu-jitsu -- is teaching cops a new restraint that he says is safer than a chokehold, and he demonstrated on one of our own to hit the point home.

The MMA legend joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and broke down the move, which he calls the "SafeWrap" ... trotting out an exhibition of sorts by deploying it on a TMZ staffer who played guinea pig for the demo.

The duo was all smiles as they strutted their stuff in front of cheering fans ... and they even stopped to chat with media members -- where Paul made a joke that Livvy doesn't always pick out his outfits.

It seems like the entire internet is dunking on Ingrid Andress after her disastrous rendition of the National Anthem, but one person is still in her corner ... Roseanne Barr.

As you know ... Ingrid was relentlessly roasted Monday for her anthem performance at the MLB All-Star Home Run Derby, an incident that took a more serious tone Tuesday, when the singer revealed she was drunk at the time, and would head to rehab.

Even before that revelation though, Roseanne had Ingrid's back, telling TMZ people needed to back off ... 'cause she says that particular song is the "hardest in the world" to perform ... and RB actually tells us she thinks the country singer did just fine.

No shoes, no shirt, no problem when it comes to PowerSlap prep ... Paige VanZant threw on her finest teeny bikini and grabbed her MMA star hubby Austin Vanderford for a steamy training sesh!

The power couple -- who married in 2018 -- shared video on social media, showing PVZ rocking a neon, thong bikini ... as Austin, an 11-2 MMA fighter, trained wifey using a pool noodle (a lot better than getting slapped!)

Of course, Paige -- who competed in UFC, bare-knuckle, and boxing (as well as pro wrestling) -- made her debut at Power Slap 8 earlier this month against Christine Wolmarans ... a fight VanZant won!

After what felt like an eternity, EA Sports College Football 25 finally went live on Monday ... but one gamer is probably wishing it hadn't -- 'cause Kai Cenat absolutely lost his marbles after getting wrecked in a matchup.

Kai -- who boasts 12.2 million followers on Twitch -- was one of the many players who rushed to check out the new product ... and the cameras were rolling as he and his friend, Ray, decided to play as University of Georgia and the University of Colorado.

Unfortunately for the two-time streamer of the year, things didn't end up in his favor. While it was a close affair through three quarters -- Kai was down just a touchdown -- Ray extended his lead to 30 by the final whistle.

During the contest, Kai threw a bad interception ... but instead of counting to 10, he went ballistic.

Kai took his anger out on every controller in sight ... and then kicked his desk, knocking over his camera in the process.

While the L probably stings ... it's another viral moment for the popular streamer. Since he started creating content back in 2018, the 22-year-old has soared in popularity.

Alex -- who played for the Mariners from 1994-2000 -- gushed about Julio as part of the special ... saying there aren't many athletes built better than the 23-year-old two-time All-Star.

Folks might've thought Fergie gave the worst National Anthem performance ever -- but a new contender has entered the chat for a chance at the title ... and her name's Ingrid Andress.

The country singer was tapped as the talent to belt out the 'Star Spangled Banner' Monday during MLB's special event ... and as soon as she started to croon, it became clear this was gonna be one for the record books, for all the wrong reasons.

Take a listen ... Ingrid was kinda all over the place with her notes in the performance, and yes it was pretty off-key too at various points -- so bad in fact, some players looked like they were about to burst out laughing.
