War Machine has until 7 PM Tuesday to turn himself in to cops ... or else the most famous bloodhound in the US -- Dog the Bounty Hunter -- will be gunnin' for him.

TMZ has learned ... a member of Christy Mack's family reached out to Dog through a mutual friend with MMA ties, hoping the mulletted one will succeed where the cops haven't.

Dog's told us he's already made contact with War Machine and given him the ultimatum -- 24 hours, and then you're mine. We're told War Machine was not receptive.

We're told Dog's entire crew will rock immediately after the deadline passes.

War is facing 7 criminal charges after using Christy as a punching bag during the 3-person altercation in her home Friday. She was left with 18 broken facial bones and a ruptured kidney.

Cops say he choked Christy's new BF, then licked his finger ... then rubbed Christy's genitals.

Jon "Bones" Jones will not defend his light heavyweight belt at UFC 178  -- he just had to bow out of the fight with an injury he suffered during training.

Jones was supposed to take on Daniel Cormier as the main event at UFC 178 in Las Vegas on September 27 -- but the bout will now move to UFC 182.

Jones reportedly hurt either his leg or ankle while sparring.

This is the 2nd big change for this fight. Jones was originally supposed to fight Alexander Gustafsson ... but he got injured, and Cormier stepped in to get his shot against Jones.

UFC 182 is set to go down in January.

Of course, Jones and Cormier already scrapped at a media event to promote their fight. Guess, we'll have to be happy with that footage for the next few months.

The San Francisco Giants will honor the memory of comedian Robin Williams during Tuesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox ... and TMZ Sports has learned what the team has planned.

We're told the team will observe a moment of silence before the game in memory of WIlliams. They've also planned a highlight video -- which will be played sometime between innings later in the game -- of various highlights of Williams' appearances at Giants games.

Back in 2010, Williams appeared on the field before game one of the National League Championship Series to rile up the crowd. They went on to win the World Series that year.

Ex-Phoenix Coyote winger Paul Bissonnette didn't just take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge ... he took it, multiplied it by a million, and then called out some of the biggest names in sports.

The challenge that's all over social media was designed to raise money and awareness for research into ALS. When challenged, you're supposed to dump anything ... from a pitcher to a Gatorade bucket ... filled with ice water over your head, or make a donation.

Steve Ballmer is now the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Ballmer completed the deal with Shelly Sterling for $2 billion. After several attempts by Donald to block the sale failed ... the deal closed on Tuesday.

Shelly Sterling's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell, tells TMZ, "Shelly is confident he will bring a championship to the city of L.A. in the very near future. We wish him and his family every success."

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver just reminded Donald Sterling that his ongoing battle to block the sale of the Los Angeles Clippers is costing the league a ton of money, and ultimately ... it's coming out of his ass.

The league filed a countersuit against Sterling yesterday, and in the docs -- obtained by TMZ Sports -- it points out Sterling's initial agreement to sell the team to Steve Ballmer included a provision that indemnified the league from future claims brought by him, Shelly Sterling, or the Clippers.

In other words, if the sale went awry, and anyone wanted to block it -- the league would not have to foot the bill for legal fees. The countersuit makes it clear ... the league expects Donald to pay up.

Interesting that the league included that provision in the sale. League Commissioner Adam Silver obviously expected a fight from Donald.

Alex Rodriguez may not be playing baseball, but he's still got a crap ton of money to play with -- during his year-long suspension -- which makes this video of him totally shocking and, dare we say it ... sweet.

MMA fighter War Machine joked about killing porn star Christy Mack, the girlfriend he allegedly almost killed Friday.

War Machine, with Christy Mack sitting right next to him, was doing an interview with MMAfighting.com a year ago ... talking about the "Mack" tattoo on his neck.

When the interviewer asked how he would explain the tat if they ever broke up ... War Machine said he would simply add the letters "R.I.P." so it would serve as "a memorial to my dead girlfriend."

Mack then chimed in, "Honestly, I would probably deserve it."

War Machine is currently a wanted man with seven warrants out for his arrest in Las Vegas over the alleged beating ... which left Christy with 18 broken bones in her face and a ruptured kidney.

Andre Agassi shared some hysterical moments with Robin Williams over the the years -- and tonight he and Steffi Graf are thanking him for his big-hearted efforts to support their charity.

Art Modell's son wants to see the man accused of peeing on his father's grave prosecuted -- and he wants to do so in person ... telling TMZ Sports he will absolutely be in court to stare down the suspect.

David Modell has heard Paul Serbu's claim the incident -- which became a viral video -- was all a prank and that he didn't actually pee on the grave site ... but he's not buying it.

Modell -- who was Ravens President from 2001 to 2004 -- says Serbu must be held accountable, and he's looking forward to a trial.

Serbu's attorney told TMZ his client desperately wants to reach out to the Modell family and apologize -- but he shouldn't hold his breath. David tells us Serbu "shouldn't reach out [to my family]. He should call his attorney."

As for feeling any relief that Serbu was found and charged -- Modell says, "The only misplaced relief here was his."

Robin Williams' longtime friend Lance Armstrong quickly reacted to the news of his death with a heartfelt message to the man who publicly stood by him through his doping scandal.

Lance tweeted, "RIP Robin. I will always remember you as one hell of a friend. I love you and will miss you terribly."

RIP Robin. I will always remember you as one hell of a friend. I love you and will miss you terribly.

Like most of Lance's friends, Robin had his limits though. After Lance finally copped to cheating ... Robin backed away, at least publicly, and turned down invitations to attend some Livestrong events.

Here, in all its glory, is supermodel Adriana Lima's message to all her fellow countrymen still licking their wounds from that humiliating World Cup loss to Germany.

It's pretty simple -- ultimately, Brazil always comes out on top. Or, in this case ... bottom.

We know ... Lima's Victoria's Secret shoot has nothing to do with soccer. But who's complaining?

Just one hour before the news broke about Robin Williams' death ... we had what turned out to be a strange encounter with Philadelphia 76ers player Nerlens Noel.

Our camera guy ran into Nerlens at the famed Rucker Park in NYC, and asked him to tell us the last movie that made him cry.

Nerlens struggled to come up with a title, but he did eventually tell us about the movie he had recently watched at home. A classic, for sure.

The woman MMA fighter War Machine allegedly beat to a pulp says she was actually pummeled within an inch of her life.

Porn star Christy Mack says War Machine broke up with her in May but for some reason showed up at her house at 2 AM Friday. She says he walked in, didn't say a word but unleashed a beating on her friend.

War Machine threw the friend out of the house and then she says he allegedly made her strip and shower in front of him. Then she says the beating began ... resulting in 18 broken bones around her eyes, a broken nose, missing teeth, a fractured rib and ruptured liver.

Mack says War Machine also "sawed much of my hair off with [a] dull knife."

She says he threatened to rape her but was unable to perform.

Mack says she ran out of the house naked, begging neighbors to help her. One did and took her to the hospital, where she remains.

War Machine is on the run. There's a $10,000 reward for his capture.

War Machine is in the crosshairs of the Las Vegas PD ... TMZ has learned there are multiple warrants for his arrest in connection with the alleged beating of porn star Christy Mack.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... there are 7 arrest warrants issued for the MMA fighter --

-- 2 felony batteries, 1 for strangulation
-- 2 felony domestic violence with great bodily injury
-- felony coercion with the threat of force
-- felony assault with a deadly weapon
-- misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon

As TMZ first reported ... Mack claims War Machine went to her house Friday and beat her to a pulp, breaking 18 bones in her face and rupturing her liver.
