Khloe Kardashian says she's DEFINITELY down to marry Tristan Thompson ... even though he hasn't exactly proposed yet.

Matt Stout -- a 12-year poker pro with over $1.4 million in WSOP earnings -- got his butt kicked once by the passenger who was savagely yanked off the United Airlines flight.

Stout tells TMZ he was in a poker tourney with Dr. David Dao in 2009, and both made the final table ... but Dao got there with a crazy, fearless style. Stout says he lost most of his chips to Dao when they were down to 3 players at the table ... which kept Stout from winning the tourney.

Dao finished second and won more than $117k.

Stout remembers Dao as a quiet guy who kept to himself -- despite his maverick style of playing -- which made the video of the United Airlines incident way more shocking to him.

How do golfers do Spring Break? They golf.

Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth linked up with fellow golf pros Smylie Kaufman and Justin Thomas for a guys trip to the Bahamas ... where they let loose, popped some beers and swung away.

The guys looked like they're having a blast ... but even though they APPEARED to be goofing around on the golf course, you KNOW things eventually got competitive.

Marshawn Lynch did NOT want to sign autographs for fans at LAX on Monday -- and he smacked a cell phone out of a fan's hand and spit in his direction to make his point.

Lynch had just touched down at LAX when he was approached by two guys -- a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old.

The guys tell us they knew someone on Marshawn's flight who tipped them off so they decided to head to LAX to try and get an autograph.

At first, Marshawn approached the 18-year-old and slapped the phone out of his hand. Lynch then went inside the terminal and came out a few minutes later and spit in their direction as he walked past them.

The owner of the phone says it got cracked in the incident and he's considering filing a police report for assault.

We reached out to Lynch's camp for comment. So far, no word back.

Rose Namajunas says she once beat down an opponent so ferociously, the blood spilled like a river ... and she describes exactly what it smelled like.

Yeah, gross ... and yet, awesome.

Of course, we all remember the bloodbath when Rose dominated Paige VanZant -- but Namajunas says she's been in way bloodier fights ... and describes it in ultra-gory detail.

Rose is taking on Michelle Waterson at "UFC on FOX" this weekend -- and Waterson has also fought (and beat) Paige.

Namajunas says her own PVZ victory is the most impressive because, you guessed it -- more blood.

Enjoy!

Ex-NBA superstar Steve Francis pled guilty to 1 count of driving while intoxicated stemming from a crazy Nov. 2016 arrest ... but he ain't going back to the slammer.

Francis appeared in a Houston courtroom Tuesday and pled guilty to the misdemeanor DWI charge. In exchange, he got 3 days in jail -- but the judge gave him credit for time served so he won't go back.

He was also fined $1,000 and his driver's license has been suspended for 1 year.

As we previously reported, Francis was initially pulled over in a black Chevy Tahoe for speeding -- but during the stop, the cop noticed he reeked of booze. Francis was also verbally abusive and allegedly vowed REVENGE on the arresting officers.

It's time ... to rumble!!!!!

UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer says if Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather actually happens -- he'd love to do the fight with his famous ring announcer brother, Michael Buffer!!

Of course, you know Michael Buffer for famously busting out his signature catchphrase at some of the biggest boxing matches of all time ... "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!"

So, if the two sports collide ... why not bring in the best from both sports to fire up the crowd??!

DeAndre Jordan wants his quarterback, Tony Romo, in Los Angeles ... to play for the Clippers ... telling TMZ Sports he wishes Tony was suiting up for his squad, and not the Mavericks.

Why is anyone talking about Romo playing basketball? 'Cause Tony is actually suiting up for the Mavericks in the team's home finale -- FOR REAL -- as a special send-off from owner Mark Cuban.

Jordan is a HUGE Cowboys fan, so when we got him out in L.A. we had to ask about Romo's hoops debut, and Jordan made it clear ... he wishes it were with the Clippers.

Cool sentiment, but we're not sure if Lob City needs another guy who can't win the big one.

David Dao, the doctor who was dragged off the United flight, made a killing on the World Series of Poker while his medical license was suspended in Kentucky.

Dao joined the poker circuit in July 2006 -- one year after his medical license was suspended due to multiple convictions for illegally prescribing painkillers.

In 2009, he came in 2nd in a tournament and walked away with more than $117k.

His player profile shows total earnings of $234,664 in the WSOP.

Some of Dao's competitors are starting to realize he's the same guy from the United incident.

Police used a taser to subdue and arrest Washington Redskins linebacker Junior Galette during an alleged violent incident at Black Beach Weekend in Mississippi ... law enforcement tells TMZ Sports.

We spoke with Sgt. Rhodes of the Biloxi Police Dept. who tells us an officer was flagged down around MGM Park for a fight around 10:30 PM on Friday. When the cop arrived to the scene, he claims he saw 6'2", 260 pound Galette punch someone.

Sgt. Rhodes says the cop went after Junior, but we're told the NFL star ran. When the officer caught up with Galette, he used his taser to take down the 29-year-old.

Galette was eventually arrested for disorderly conduct and failure to comply. From that point on, we're told Galette was "very cooperative."

All that being said, Sgt. Rhodes says the incident was "extremely minor" and Galette was not charged with assault because they didn't think the alleged victim would cooperate.

Snoop ain't mincing his words -- telling TMZ Sports his friend, Jon Jones, is the "baddest motherf**ker to ever walk in the Octagon."

Period.

The rap legend already vowed to walk Jones into the ring when he fights Daniel Cormier and tells us, "That's my homeboy."

On an unrelated note, Snoop's also pretty fired up about the possibility UFC fighters could be allowed to smoke weed some time in the near future.

Sergio Garcia says he was "disappointed" Dustin Johnson couldn't play in The Masters -- but says the fact the #1 player in the world pulled out doesn't take away from the sweetness of his victory.

Of course, Johnson suffered a back injury the night before the tournament and withdrew right before tee off. Some people say the fact Garcia won the tourney without the #1 player lessens the quality of the win.

But not Sergio.

Garcia admits it sucks Johnson couldn't play ... but says straight-up, "I don't think it takes anything away from the victory."

We also talk about how many fittings it took to get the rightsized green jacket -- and his golf outing with Michael Jordan.

Michael Bisping says there are two little things holding up his superfight with Georges St-Pierre ... GSP's testicles.

The reigning UFC middleweight champ tells TMZ Sports he's ready to fight Georges RIGHT NOW -- but St-Pierre is holding up the process.

"I think he's waiting for his balls to grow," Bisping said ... "I think he's doing some bicep curls, taking some protein shakes and then when he's big enough, then maybe we can do the fight."

Meantime, Bisping's now in Thailand to shoot the action movie "Triple Threat" with Michael Jai White and Tony Jaa.

UFC strawweight Michelle Waterson -- aka the Karate Hottie -- doesn't like that fellow UFC fighter Pearl Gonzalez had to jump through hoops to get cleared to fight with breast implants ... and says all women with fake boobs should be allowed to fight.

The NY State Athletic Commission conducted a review into Gonzalez before UFC 210 once they learned she had implants -- but ultimately cleared her to fight.

Waterson -- who's fighting Rose Namajunas this weekend at UFC on FOX -- says breast implants are no big deal ... and as long as the fighter makes weight, she doesn't think there's any real problem.

** WARNING: Horrible language, violent threats, and homophobia **

Adrien Broner just reignited his beef with Floyd Mayweather ... calling the Money Man a "bitch," and it's all over his relationship with a rising boxing superstar.

The boxing star is Gervonta "Tank" Davis ... an undefeated champion and member of Mayweather's Money Team who recently called out Broner, demanding a fight with him.

Broner apparently took the challenge as the ultimate sign of disrespect, claiming he and Davis are pals, and alleging Floyd tricked the kid into making the challenge, and he ain't happy.

He also vows to do to Davis what Faizon Love did to that guy at the airport. You know the video.

We warned you, watch at your own risk.

New footage has surfaced showing WWE legend Ric Flair trying to fat shame a bartender during a heated exchange in an Indiana bar ... moments before he was booted and banned for life.

It all went down at The Deck at the Gas House in Ft. Wayne on Sunday when Flair got pissed at the bartender while requesting a fresh glass.

We spoke with a bar staffer who says Flair hurled insults at the male bartender -- called him a "fat ass" and said, "Lose some weight."

The last insult was captured on video obtained by ProWrestlingSheet.com.

Flair was told to leave the joint and on his way out, we're told the WWE legend threw out the classic line -- "You don't know who I am!" and "I'll have you out of a job!"

We're told Flair is no longer welcome back at the bar.
