Andre Berto says he got one helluva phone call after he beat up Victor Ortiz this weekend ... when Conor McGregor dialed him up to congratulate him on the K.O.

In case you missed it, Berto almost took Ortiz's head up with a ferocious uppercut in the 4th round of their Premier Boxing Championships fight at the StubHub Center.

As for McGregor, he and Berto have been friends for a while -- and Berto even advised him to NOT take a rematch with Nate Diaz back when that option was on the table.

But don't count McGregor out ... Berto says the Irish phenom has plans to return to the sport in a big way.

Chyna was a larger than life icon who should've never done porn ... that's according to one of her co-stars Lisa Ann ... who says the bang biz was too dark a place for the late WWE star.

FYI, Lisa Ann starred in the XXX movie "Chyna Is Queen Of The Ring" back in 2012 ... and Lisa says her heart sank as soon as she saw the WWE legend on set.

"Porn wasn't an element for her, she was so much bigger than us ... it's a bottom feeding situation where people will take advantage of people when they're weak."

It's pretty compelling stuff ... Lisa -- who recently detailed her relationship with Chyna in Stashed magazine -- goes on to say there should have been someone ... ANYONE ... in Chyna's life willing to give her a hand financially so she didn't have to bang on camera.

Kirk Gibson is an absolute badass ... telling TMZ Sports his Parkinson's disease is a huge pain in the ass -- but he REFUSES to give in.

The MLB legend was at LAX when he started talking about "this guy I carry around ... his name's Parky."

Our photog didn't quite get the connection -- but it's clear Gibson's talking about his medical condition, which he was diagnosed with last year.

You gotta watch the clip ... Gibson keeps it about as real as it gets.

UFC superstar Nate Diaz doesn't seem too concerned about the whole Conor McGregor fiasco ... hitting the Hollywood club scene last night with his bro Nick.

The Diaz bros were leaving Warwick when we asked 'em both all sorts of questions about McGregor, retirement and his fighting future.

As for Conor, he posted ANOTHER statement on social media this morning -- blasting the UFC for moving forward with UFC 200 without him.

Nobody gives a f*** about these other fights until this one is settled. Cut the bulls**t. Run it back. #RealFight."

Hope Solo was right there at the White House Correspondents dinner, yukking it up as she watched the President who dissed her last year.

You may recall, the Prez invited Hope's team, which won the World Cup in 2015, for a reception. During the ceremony, POTUS called out Hope's teammates for recognition but passed over her.

Hope has had her problems ... among them criminal charges for allegedly beating up her half sister and nephew during a drunken rage back in 2014 ... something she denies.

On the upside, she looked good.

Heads up ... there's a lot of genital talk in this video ...

John Salley has some "pointers" for Usher about how to take a world class ... Internet-breaking ... truly inspiring and memorable ... picture of your penis.

Usher "inadvertently" showed his little guy on Snapchat Thursday ... posting a nude snap with a smiley face covering his happy place ... but leaving a little bit left over to say hi.

We asked John about this man-sized malfunction when we got him out at LAX -- 'cause he's sorta like an expert -- and he gives us the lowdown on proper penis pic etiquette.

Take notes, fellas ...

NFL free agent Ray Rice and his wife Janay are about to become parents all over again ... Janay just announced she's got a bun in the oven.

A noticeably pregnant Janay took to her Instagram page Saturday to make the announcement ... and said she's 21 weeks along. It doesn't appear Ray or Janay know if they're having a boy or girl but they've already got a 4-year-old daughter named Rayven.

Congrats!!

Ryan Sheckler and his family are being sued for almost a million bucks for allegedly screwing over the guy who bought their house.

The San Clemente crib went for $1.5 mil, and the buyer expected it to be in tip-top condition -- far from it, he says. According to the lawsuit, the kitchen appliances and entertainment system were shot, and the latter alone will cost $75k to fix.

But there's more. The buyer says the roof leaks like a sieve ... something that became painfully apparent after the grand entrance of El Nino.

The buyer wants $850k ... partly to cover his losses and partly to teach the Sheckler family a lesson.

Ronda Rousey will train on land, sand and water to make sure she isn't beaten again.

The former UFC Champ hit up Venice Beach Saturday with her team and one thing's for sure ... Rousey looks as mean and focused as ever. You'll remember, TMZ Sports talked with Dana White earlier this month who said Ronda was in a "great place mentally, physically and emotionally."

By the looks of things, Dana was right.

Detectives in Chyna's death are dealing with a curve ball -- the ex WWE superstar had a knack for mixing up prescription pills, and it's making it hard to figure out what she took before she died.

Sources close to the investigation tell TMZ detectives discovered several full prescription pill bottles near Chyna's body ... many of which contained multiple meds. We're told there were at least 4 different types of pills, plus she also mixed vitamins in the bottles.

As TMZ reported, Chyna's manager worried she had a problem with Ambien and Valium, but it appears she was taking more than just that.

Brandon Marshall thinks moving the Raiders to Sin City is a commitment to disaster ... saying Vegas will DESTROY young players who won't be able to resist unhealthy temptations.

We got the NY Jets WR on Capitol Hill -- dude was doing more great work on mental health -- and asked what he thought of the Raiders possibly bolting NorCal for the desert of desire in Las Vegas.

Raiders owner Mark Davis has been vocal about his plans -- and some think it's just a matter of time before it really goes down.

Check out the clip -- Marshall says he doesn't think Vegas is a bad place ... but it's just too much for young people "fresh out of school with a lot of money."

Think about it ... how long would YOU last as a 21-year-old in Vegas with $20 mil in your bank account?

Nick Young hit the town Friday night in WeHo -- sans Iggy -- and it may actually be an indicator things are stable between them.

Nick and his crew were at Henry's, and as they left he almost looked like the Pied Piper.

TMZ Sports brings you another edition of "He said it ... WE DIDN'T," this time starring ex-NFL star Takeo Spikes and his sage advice to incoming rookies.

Spikes played in the league for 13 seasons ... so when we saw him out in Chicago we asked how the new kids on the NFL block should act to impress (and survive) their veteran teammates.

Check out the clip ... and remember he said it ... not us.

Johnny Manziel just lashed out at a reporter -- calling the guy a "p***y" for allegedly posting a photo of the QB at an Ohio bar.

But the reporter says Johnny is misdirecting his anger ... and THREATENED to catch him in the streets.

Manziel went after sports radio reporter Will Burge -- who had tweeted a pic of Manziel along with the caption, "2 yrs ago he was a 1st rd pick...now hes unemployed watching it at a bar in Columbus b4 the Bieber concert #Manziel."

Manziel -- clearly under the impression Burge took the photo -- responded, "Should have just said it to my face instead of sitting across from us tweeting away. P***y."

Burge fired back with a promise -- "I wasn't there tough guy. But we'll see each other DT Cle soon enough."

Manziel also addressed his other critics -- essentially saying he knows he's made mistakes ... but he is who he is and it doesn't seem like he cares about changing.

"You guys act like what I'm doing is something new. I've been the same person, doing the same things since it all started."

He asked for Cam Newton, he GOT Cam Newton!!

10-year-old Noah had the best weekend EVER -- when his favorite NFL player took him and 3 other kids on a dream come true weekend in Charlotte earlier this month ... complete with bowling, basketball and of course, DABBING!

The end is near for Charles "Peanut" Tillman and he knows it -- but the longtime NFL star says he's already got plans after his football career is over ... UBER DRIVER!!

The former Panthers and Bears cornerback is currently a free agent ... though he's said he wants to come back and play another year.

So, when we saw him out in Chicago Thursday, we had to ask what his 2nd life plans were -- and that's when he started raving about Uber!

"You can work your own hours!"

Hey, it's not a bad career choice ... just ask Richard Sherman.
