NUNES CALLS OUT ROUSEY

Straight from the champ's mouth ... Amanda Nunes says she wants to get in the Octagon with Ronda Rousey as soon as possible -- if Ronda actually fights again.

Nunes -- who just beat Miesha Tate to win the Women's bantamweight title -- was doing a media event for UFC 201 and was asked who she would pick for her first title defense.

Nunes didn't hesitate -- "Ronda Rousey" ... but only IF the UFC legend decides to fight again.

Nunes says it's important for her to square off with Ronda "to prove to everybody one more time I deserve to be here."

If Ronda doesn't fight again, Nunes says she already has a Plan B -- Julianna Pena -- but says she'd beat JP's ass ... "no problem."

Brandon Marshall I Spoke with AB About Car Bet ... Deal In Works

Published | Updated

The Brandon Marshall vs. Antonio Brown car bet is ONE STEP CLOSER TO HAPPENING ... because the two stars spoke on Thursday to hash out the terms ... TMZ Sports has learned.

After Marshall made the initial bet, Brown told the NY Jets WR to "call me" if he was serious about wagering their expensive cars on who would have more receiving yards in 2016. Marshall put his Porsche against AB's Rolls-Royce.

Turns out, Marshall picked up the phone -- because we just spoke to Brandon who gave us the following statement:

"We spoke yesterday to work out the details of this deal. We'll let you guys know what happens."

He added, "There are so many things that make playing in the NFL fun. One of which is the game within the game. AB has taken the WR position to another level. There are a few guys who won't let him sit on top of the hill by himself. I am one of those guys."

Paul Pogba Clubbing In Hollywood While Massive Man U Deal Underway

Published | Updated

He's currently in the middle of one of the richest contract negotiations in pro sports ... but Thursday night soccer superstar Paul Pogba decided to HIT THE CLUB!!

TMZ Sports has footage of the 23-year-old Juventus player leaving 1 OAK nightclub in Hollywood after 2 AM -- while surrounded by an entourage that was slapping anyone trying to record the guy on their cell phones.

Pogba had reportedly undergone a medical exam while in L.A. -- while Manchester United continued to work on a 5-year deal that would pay the superstar roughly $90 MILLION!

Justin Bieber Sorry, GOP ... I'm Not for Sale

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber got a $5 million offer to perform at a Republican event during the GOP Convention, but turned it down after his manager considered quitting and LeBron James urged him to reject it ... sources tell TMZ.

Sources connected with CAA -- the talent agency which reps Bieber and received the offer -- tell us a promoter contacted Justin's people with the offer, saying he would perform for 45 minutes at a venue near Quicken Loans Arena, where the RNC was held.

We're told the promoter assured Justin's people the event was "not political" and Justin would not be endorsing Trump or any GOP policies.

According to the contract, the $5 million was bankrolled by GOP donors. The money was to be paid "up front" -- before Justin even arrived. The donors would also cover production expenses.

It represented the biggest single payday ever for Justin. Or, for that matter, just about any other singer, and he seriously considered doing it ... partly because he's Canadian and didn't have a dog in the fight and partly because of the money.

Manager Scooter Braun, a big Hillary Clinton supporter who even held a fundraiser for her at his L.A. home, had big problems with the offer ... as did CAA. Scooter and CAA felt, regardless of the representations, this was "100 percent political."

We're told Scooter wasn't heavy-handed at first, and talked to Justin about putting Black Lives Matter banners up in the venue. We're told Braun was told he could not display BLM banners, but the donors would accept banners that read "All Lives Matter." The donors also made it clear ... Justin could say nothing disparaging about Trump or the GOP.

Adrien Broner No Early Jail Release ... After Drunk Court Appearance

Published | Updated

Adrien Broner got a big fact rejection from an Ohio judge -- who denied the boxer's request for an early release from jail ... after showing up to court drunk earlier this month.

As we previously reported, Broner was sentenced to 30 days in jail after arriving to court 3 hours late and drunk on July 19th ... on a day where his bowling alley attack case was supposed to be thrown out.

But on Thursday, Broner asked the court to cut him a break and let him out early so he could train for an upcoming fight ... but the judge shut him down hard.

"If I let you go early because you're a sports star, what message does that send? You didn't show up. You were three hours late and drunk. I said 30 days, and 30 is the number," the judge said.

Meantime, Broner celebrated his 27th birthday yesterday ... so, happy birthday?

Remy was out at a Hublot event in L.A. with his Chelsea teammates when he explained why he thinks it would be cool to see Hillary in the White House ... "It's good to have a woman president."

We also asked if he had any workout advice for people at home trying to get some abs -- that's when he busted out his own washboard situation and told us, "I was born with a 6-pack."

Published | Updated

It's a good problem to have ... but Dana White says family members are coming out of the woodwork with their hands out after the UFC sold for $4 BILLION ... so he's ignoring their calls!

White was on 'Kimmel' Thursday night -- and was asked how his life has changed now that he's insanely rich (Jimmy estimates he made $360 mil off the deal).

We're guessing Dana was joking about the family -- but says he had a real Howard Hughes moment and locked himself in a hotel room after the deal closed.

He's one of the BEST goalkeepers in the world ... and Chelsea superstar Thibaut Courtois says he's considering moving to the U.S. and playing in the MLS one day.

The 24-year-old superstar was at a Hublot event in L.A. Thursday night -- when we asked if he would ever consider following in the footsteps of stars like David Beckham and Robbie Keane who migrated from the Premiere League to the MLS.

"Yeah, I might retire here," Courtois said ... "It's nice to have an experience abroad of Europe and if I would choose a country to do that it would be here."

There's more with Thibaut, we also ask the Belgian-born athlete:

-- Is your daughter going to play soccer?

-- Can the U.S. ever win a World Cup?

It's good stuff -- check out the clip.

Ronda Rousey Not Preggo

Published | Updated

Early Thursday, Cyborg went to Twitter and wrote, "I keep hearing the rumor @RondaRousey is expecting and no longer fighting #ufc205 if true congrats on the new life."

Ronda has previously talked about having children with her boyfriend, Travis Browne -- but never gave a time frame.

He's just a regular dude ... don't sweat it.

We got the couple -- family in tow -- arriving at LAX and queried them on whether or not they had any special wisdom for Brielle now that she's seeing Michael Kopech, a minor league baseball pitcher.

Our camera guy seems to think the guys in the minor leagues get around ... but Kim & Kroy clearly DON'T ... saying their advice is the same as it'd be if Brielle was dating a plumber.

BTW -- Kim totally takes it to our camera guy ... calling him out for suggesting that pro athletes get around.

Justin Timberlake Face Slap Culprit Was Bombed ... Cops Say

Published | Updated

The overzealous fan who slapped Justin Timberlake on a golf course was beyond drunk at the time of the incident, according to cops.

TMZ obtained the Douglas County Sheriff's report which says Keith Weglin's BAC was 0.18% when he got to jail ... more than twice the legal limit.

TMZ broke the story ... Keith was nabbed by cops after striking Justin in the face at the American Century Celebrity Pro-Am in Lake Tahoe. He could have gotten off scot-free, but cops say he refused to leave the course ... so, they arrested him for disorderly conduct.

One law enforcement source said Weglin talked himself right into jail. We've reached out to him, but no word back yet.
