MMA legend Randy Couture is confident Nate Diaz is gonna beat up Conor McGregor this weekend ... because there's one massive hole in CM's fight game.

Floyd Mayweather is about to add another insanely expensive whip to his collection -- 'cause the boxer just ordered a $2.5 MILLION supercar ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It's called the KODE57 enji ... and high-end car enthusiasts have been geeked up about its debut for a long time.

We're told the very first one was put out on display to the public moments ago at an exclusive car show in Pebble Beach ... and Floyd has already placed his order.

We spoke with Floyd's car guy, Obi Okeke from DoctorBugatti.com and Liquidtorque.com, who confirmed the order.

"This is a car Floyd has been highly interested in and psyched about getting."

"I have been working on this project for 6 years and Floyd has been my main target in getting this car ... so he is pretty excited in finally seeing it and getting it."

Obi says only FIVE of the cars will be made -- "I am the only representative in North and South America to sell this car."

Congrats.

Is WWE superstar Randy Orton nervous to square off with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam this weekend?

HELL YES ... and he's man enough to admit it.

"I know I'm gonna get tossed around that ring like a rag doll," Orton told us in NYC Friday ... "But I also know what it takes to beat Brock."

So, what's the secret to victory?

"It just takes one RKO ... at least, I'm hoping."

Sorry ladies, Usain Bolt's taken ... and his girlfriend is an absolute smoke show!

Smokin' hot UFC Octagon girl Arianny Celeste says she's TEAM NATE DIAZ when it comes to the big fight -- all because the Diaz brothers are "crazy as f***."

Celeste spends A LOT of time around the fighters -- and says she's convinced Nate is gonna beat Conor up ... plain and simple.

"[The Diaz brothers] remind me of my family," Celeste says ... "They're crazy as f***."

The news is gonna piss off Conor -- who told off ALL Diaz supporters Thursday night in a Tupac "Hit 'Em Up" style rant.

"F*** Nate Diaz ... and if you're down with Nate Diaz then f*** you too!"

That being said ... check out a gallery of Arianny below ... and wish she was rooting for your team.

Ryan Lochte was not the only swimmer who lied to the U.S. Olympic Committee about the so-called "robbery." TMZ has learned all 4 of them told the same false tale.

An official from the USOC tells us the Committee interviewed Lochte as well as Jimmy Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger Sunday and all 4 told the exact same lie -- that they were in a cab when robbers posing as armed cops stopped their cab and demanded cash.

We're also told the 4 swimmers were interviewed individually, so they had clearly gone over their story beforehand.

TMZ reported Sunday ... an IOC official told us when they issued the initial denial of the incident occurred they were relying on the USOC, but the USOC official says they did indeed interview the 4 swimmers Sunday and they all told the story Lochte ended up telling on TV.

Alex Rodriguez -- who made roughly $480 MILLION during his MLB career -- pulled out a wad of cash in Bev Hills Thursday to help out a kid who said he was raising money for football jerseys.

A-Rod was leaving Wally's Wine and Spirits when the kid walked right up to the baseball star and made his pitch.

So how much did Alex shell out?

We stopped the video and zoomed in ... looks like $6.

Hey, better than nothing.

Ryan Lochte is finally doing a mea culpa for the lie he told on NBC that's become an international incident ... but he kind of doubled down on the version of events he told cops.

Lochte just posted ... "I want to apologize for my behavior last weekend -- for not being more careful and candid in how I described the events of that early morning and for my role in taking the focus away from the many athletes fulfilling their dreams of participating in the Olympics. I waited to share these thoughts until it was confirmed that the legal situation was addressed and it was clear that my teammates would be arriving home safely."

Lochte continues ... "It's traumatic to be out late with your friends in a foreign country - with a language barrier - and have a stranger point a gun at you and demand money to let you leave, but regardless of the behavior of anyone else that night, I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that I am sorry to my teammates, my fans, my fellow competitors, my sponsors, and the hosts of this great event."

He goes on to say he's proud to rep the USA in Olympic competition and this was a situation that could and should have been avoided.

He adds, "I accept responsibility for my role in this happening and have learned some valuable lessons. I am grateful for my USA Swimming teammates and the USOC, and appreciate all of the efforts of the IOC, the Rio '16 Host Committee, and the people of Brazil who welcomed us to Rio and worked so hard to make sure that these Olympic Games provided a lifetime of great new memories."

"There has already been too much said and too many valuable resources dedicated to what happened last weekend, so I hope we spend our time celebrating the great stories and performances of these Games and look ahead to celebrating future successes."

The statement is clearly crafted to thwart police efforts to have Lochte prosecuted. The biggest problem the swimmer faces ... going on TV, trashing the city by claiming armed men posed as cops robbed him as he was innocently taking a cab back to the Village.

Ryan Lochte told the U.S. Olympic Committee the same lie he told NBC, and he now faces possible discipline in addition to criminal charges ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Lochte and familiar with the situation tell us, Ryan repeated the story to USOC officials ... that he and his fellow swimmers were in a cab going back to the Olympic Village when men posing as cops robbed them and took their wallets.

The USOC and the IOC took heat Sunday after Lochte told the lie on TV. However, we're told once it heard the reports, the USOC got in touch with Ryan immediately, who said the story was untrue and the USOC passed that info to the IOC.

We've now learned after Lochte went on TV, USOC officials talked to him and he repeated the concocted story line and verse.

TMZ has also learned Lochte is preparing an apology to the U.S. and Brazil.

Talk about two guys STOKED to be home.

Here's Team USA swimmers Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz finally returning to the states ... after Brazilian officials pulled them off their homebound flight earlier this week.

Conger and Bentz were part of the Ryan Lochte party crew that allegedly vandalized a Rio gas station bathroom Sunday morning and then lied about it to police.

The two were interviewed by police -- but were ultimately allowed to fly home on Thursday.

How much does it cost to make an international bathroom scandal go away in Rio?? Just short of $11,000 ... at least for Team USA swimmer Jimmy Feigen.

Robert Griffin III is telling friends ... his wife was NOT blindsided by his decision to pursue a divorce -- insisting their marriage has been on the rocks for two years.

But it begs the question ... why would the couple then buy a house TOGETHER in April?

Ryan Lochte and his crew paid around $400 to the Rio gas station owner for a sandwich sign they cracked during their drunken escapade, and the amount of cash may actually help the boys.

Our guy in Rio got a pic of the damage, and all you see is a slight crack on the plastic cover of a sign on the wall outside the bathroom. Although cops talked about a mirror that was broken in the bathroom, we saw no evidence of this and someone who works there said the sign was the only thing damaged.

Lochte claims he and the other swimmers offered around $50 for the damage but the station wanted more. Our Lochte sources tell us he paid around $400.

Our sources say by extracting exponentially more than the damage warranted, with the help of a gun, that constituted robbery and therefore the police report was not false.

Ryan Lochte and the 3 other Team USA swimmers were rolling like true VIPs when they cruised into a Brazilian nightclub ... about 4 hours before their alleged robbery sparked an international incident.

Surveillance footage at Club France shows Lochte, James Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger breezed past the line of normies waiting at 1:47 AM to get inside.

At 5:47 AM they walked out of the club, interestingly, the Olympic heroes had zero chicks with them.

As we reported ... Lochte's camp denies Rio police claims that 2 female witnesses at the gas station were with the swimmers.

Brazilian MMA legend Royce Gracie has a message to Ryan Lochte -- cut the crap and tell the TRUTH already!

We spoke with Gracie moments ago about the Lochte situation in his home country -- and Gracie told us he's sick and tired of the lies.

"You are a professional athlete. The young generation is looking up to you ... come clean."

Gracie believes the root of the problem is alcohol -- with Brazilian officials saying Lochte and the other 3 swimmers were hammered when they vandalized a gas station bathroom in Rio.

"He needs to clean up his act and stop drinking," Gracie says ... "People will respect him more."

"As an athlete I am on a different level. I don’t drink, never smoked. He should know that and he forgets what the life of an athlete is."

3:34 PM PT -- ABC News appears to have backed off the indictment story and now says federal cops are "recommending" indictment.

Ryan Lochte and James Feigen have been indicted in Rio for filing a false police report ... this according to ABC News.

Sources connected to the 2 swimmers tell TMZ, they're "not surprised" at the turn of events, but they add Ryan and Jimmy told the truth. They reiterated, as Ryan initially said, the swimmers were in a cab, they were confronted by men who appeared to be police and at that point there is a lapse of 3 minutes on the video.

When the video restarts the swimmers come out with their hands up, Ryan is standing and then goes down. And the sources add armed security took their money.

Jimmy Feigen is still in Rio and could be arrested. Ryan is back in the U.S.

The crime of filing a false police report is punishable by 6 months in jail. We've done some checking and the crime is not listed as an extraditable offense, which means the U.S. cannot force Lochte to go back to Rio for prosecution.
