IN HIGH SPIRITS

Conor McGregor and Holly Holm were light on their feet at their UFC after parties in Vegas ... lighter because they weren't weighted down by their championship belts.

Conor was at Surrender Nightclub at the Encore hotel and stayed past 3:30 AM ... and it seemed he was feeling no pain, although he must have been after getting pounded into the ground by Nate Diaz.

As for Holly, she arrived at same party at around 2 AM and beelined it for the VIP section.

O.J. Simpson Fear DNA Tests Will Come Up Dry

Published | Updated

The knife buried on O.J. Simpson's former Rockingham estate may hold lots of secrets, but unlocking them may be next to impossible ... with one glimmer of hope.

We spoke with a number of forensic experts who say a knife secreted underground for 4 years is likely to become contaminated by bacteria, chemicals and various microorganisms in the dirt, making it extremely difficult to get meaningful results in DNA tests.

The experts add the natural elements pose an additional, significant obstacle to DNA tests.

Here's the glimmer of hope. We're told if the 5" buck knife was folded when it was buried, the blade might be sufficiently protected to net a DNA match.

As we reported, LAPD cops privately say they always believe O.J. used a folding buck knife to kill Ron and Nicole, even though testimony in the trial suggested a fixed blade did the job.

The buck knife found by the construction worker in 2002 and kept for years by a cop is currently being tested.

The L.A. Rams had a strong message for their players -- now that you're in L.A., don't act like the old Kanye West!!

The players were called to a media training session earlier this week -- where they were shown TMZ and TMZ Sports videos to show them the right way and the wrong way to handle the media.

Rams punter Johnny Hekker says they were shown a Kanye video as part of the presentation (it's gotta be the "Don't Talk Ever" clip, right?)

Ronda Rousey At Pro Wrestling Match ... During Holly Holm Loss

Published | Updated

Ronda Rousey was ringside as Holly Holm lost Saturday night .. but not in Vegas -- she was at a pro wrestling match in L.A. ... and was HAPPY after her rival tapped out.

The guys at ProWrestlingSheet.com snapped this pic of Ronda at PWG All Star Weekend 12 in Reseda, CA -- intensely focusing on her cell phone at the same time Holly was fighting Miesha Tate at UFC 196.

(Ronda is wearing the black shirt and sitting down)

Unclear exactly what Ronda was looking at ... but c'mon.

After the Holm fight was over we're told she turned her attention back to wrestling -- and was "happy, smiling and enjoying herself."

... maybe because she's beaten the person who now holds her belt both times they've fought.

Johnny Manziel Trust In The Lord ... Disick

Published | Updated

Johnny Manziel and Scott Disick make an odd couple ... and that they were Friday night.

Manziel and Disick were spotted together at 1 OAK Las Vegas, and to say they're dressed eerily similar would be an understatement.

We're told the two showed up together just after midnight with a big group and sat in the VIP section. Neither is a stranger to the party scene, so we're guessing they got a long just fine.

Only one question remains ... after a few drinks ... who throws the better spiral?

O.J. Simpson Murder Case Buck Knife Could Produce Fatal Wounds

Published | Updated

The knife found buried on O.J. Simpson's former estate was more than capable of inflicting the mortal wounds on Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman ... so says the man who examined the wounds of the victims.

Dr. Irwin Golden, who served as the Deputy Medical Examiner, testified in the O.J. Simpson case and performed both autopsies, tells TMZ the folding buck knife could have severely cut both victims. Nicole was brutally attacked with a deep neck wound -- 2 1/2 inches deep and 5 1/2 inches across -- and Golden says a 4" blade could have done the deed. We broke the story ... the knife in question has a 5" blade.

Sources connected with the 1994 investigation and others involved in the evaluation of the knife tell us there was always a wide belief among LAPD cops that Simpson used a buck knife.

TMZ broke the story ... a construction worker found the knife buried on the perimeter of the property in 2002, gave it to a retired LAPD cop who never turned it in, instead taking it home and putting it in his tool box. The cop claims he alerted LAPD when he got it, but they expressed no interest.

Dr. Golden cautioned if the murder weapon was a buck knife it had to be "heavy." A knife expert tells us back in '94 buck knives were made with heavy American-made steel.

The knife is being tested for fingerprints and hair. Next week it goes to the serology unit for DNA testing.

That's what tennis superstar Novak Djokovic just did to his personal aircraft -- sending his drone to one of the most famous car customizers in the world for a personalized pimp job.

We spoke with Alex Vega of the Autofirm in Miami (the same guy who pimped out Yoenis Cespedes' rides) ... who tells us Novak's drone is the first one he's ever worked on.

"The #1 tennis player in the world Novak Djokovic contacted me and wanted me to customize his drone so he can fly it over his tennis match this weekend (The Davis Cup)."

"His sponsor California Date sent him the drone and he wanted to get it custom painted so I used an Avorza edition yellow and aqua green ... which are the colors of his sponsor."

So, how much does it cost to pimp your drone?

O.J. Simpson Cop with the Knife Straight Shooter, Clean Record

Published | Updated

The LAPD cop at the center of the O.J. Simpson knife mystery is a retired, 25-year veteran of the LAPD.

George Maycott was a motor cop for the LAPD, who retired with a clean record in 1998. Two months after Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered in 1994, Maycott shot and wounded a man who rammed his police car during a chase. Maycott was injured and taken to the hospital.

TMZ broke the story ... a construction worker at O.J. Simpson's former estate approached him with the 5" buck knife in 2002. Maycott insists he called the West L.A. Division of LAPD and informed them of the knife, but they said the case was closed and expressed no interest, so he took it home.

Maycott is now 70 years old and fully retired. He insists his sudden interest in putting the knife in an engraved frame had nothing to do with the renewed interest in the case because of the series, 'The People v. O.J. Simpson.' He swears he was not trying to profit by selling the weapon.

As for the knife ... Maycott has no opinion on whether it's the murder weapon.

Jose Canseco is not going to murder his supermodel daughter's rapper boyfriend ... so says his ex-wife Jessica ... who claims Jose is "all bark, no bite."

Jessica was out at Craig's in L.A. -- looking CRAZY hot -- when we asked about Jose's recent comment that when he meets his daughter's boyfriend for the first time ... it'll be with a gun in hand.

You know by now that smoking hot Josie Canseco is dating rapper Mike Stud ... and was featured in his most recent video wearing little more than the pizza she was eating (it was awesome).

Mama Canseco makes it clear -- she's no fan of the video -- but as far as Jose and his gun talk, Mike shouldn't lose an ounce of sleep about meeting dear old dad.

Still, we'd recommend a vest ... better safe than sorry right?

THE ARREST FOOTAGE

TMZ Sports obtained the Terrell Suggs arrest video -- in which the NFL star is adamant he had NOT been drinking and challenges the cop to "do your little tests."

For the record, he passed.

We broke the story ... Suggs was arrested in Scottsdale Friday morning after crashing his BMW into a wall and allegedly leaving the scene (which Suggs adamantly denies). He was also popped for driving on a suspended license.

During the arrest, Suggs explains why he wasn't the one who contacted police after the crash.

"If you ain't did your research, I am an athlete ... We do kind of got a bad rep right now but driving without a license still ain't good, they'll see it as a DUI or whatever."

Again, cops determined Suggs was NOT drunk ... but he was taken to a nearby jail where he was booked.

Suggs has since apologized on Instagram ... saying, "My bad Y'all.. Dumb Ass SiZ."
