UFC fighter Uriah Hall is possibly one of the toughest dudes in MMA ... the guy won his fight last night on a broken toe -- and Uriah tells TMZ Sports it took FIVE PEOPLE to fix the break.

Hall went head-to-head with Thiago Santos at UFC 175 Saturday night in Las Vegas ... and broke his toe sometime in the first round. Between rounds, cameras showed the nasty damage.

But Hall refused to quit and continued for 2 more rounds. When the fight was over, Uriah was the victor via unanimous decision.

Uriah says his bone was partially sticking out ... so doctors quickly went to work snapping it back into place -- and it took 5 of them to finish the job. Now, Uriah's just rehabbing the injury and looking forward to his next fight.

A great white shark attacked a swimmer in Manhattan Beach CA and it was all caught on video.

The 7-foot shark was struggling on the wrong end of a fishing line near the pier. Shortly before the attack, the fisherman tried in vain for 40 minutes to reel the shark in ... the shark was agitated when some long- distance swimmers unwittingly crossed its path.

As video rolled ... the great white attacked one of the swimmers. People on the pier where the video was shot initially didn't realize someone was injured but soon thereafter it became apparent and they screamed at the people in the water to swim for their lives.

The attack victim sustained moderate injuries to his torso and is in stable condition.

The fisherman eventually cut the line.

TMZ Sports got this video shot last month of a 6-foot great white near the shoreline of Manhattan beach, as paddle boarders circled it.

TNA wrestler Robbie E might take the wind-relieving pose a little too literally ... 'cause even though yoga helped him prepare for the "Amazing Race" ... it turned him into a human gasbag.

Robbie and his GF Brooke Tessmacher teamed up for the CBS reality show -- which has already been shot and premieres in September -- and Robbie tells TMZ the yoga helped him get mentally and physically ready for the grueling challenges on the road.

In fact, Robbie got some support from fellow wrestlers DJ Z and Jessie Godderz who teamed up for some "broga" sessions before and after the "Race" ... where Robbie fessed up to the pose that turns him into Captain Flatulation!

Meantime, Brooke used other methods to prepare -- mainly something we like to call, "Puttin' In Twerk." Miley Cyrus would be proud ...

Back before he became an American hero, the Team USA goalie was a big deal -- literally -- towering over his soccer teammates when he was a kid ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

Check out the gallery of Tim Howard's athletic journey over the years ... from dominating in youth soccer leagues to leading his high school basketball team to glory in New Jersey.

Oh, and here's a shocker -- he was picked as "Most Athletic" at his high school.

More problems for unemployed NFL star Bryant McKinnie -- TMZ Sports has learned the former lineman's fancy car has been REPO'D ... after he stiffed his lawyers on a HUGE bill.

Here's the deal ... according to legal docs, Bryant never paid his Florida lawyers more than $20k in bills, fees and penalties stemming from work they did several years ago.

The lawyers sued and got a judgement for $21,354.69 ... but McKinnie never paid -- so the court sent a repo man to collect Bryant's 2012 Infiniti QX56 ... so they could auction it off to pay back the attorneys.

Well, what the repo man wants ... the repo man gets -- and now the car is all set for the auction block ... where Bryant will have a chance to buy it back ... if he really loves the car.

It's just the latest problem for McKinnie -- who reportedly settled a lawsuit with a strip club owner who claimed the NFL player stiffed his establishment on a $375k bill.

Madonna is being hailed as a HERO in the boxing community ... so says boxing Hall of Famer Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns who's praising the singer for saving a Detroit boxing gym

FYI -- Madge recently returned from a trip to Detroit and announced she'd be making "significant" donations to 3 organizations ... including the Downtown Youth Boxing Gym.

Madonna says she was super-impressed with the programs at the gym that have helped it achieve a 100% graduation rate. Recently, the gym's main building was condemned ... so, Madge's donation will allow the place to make renovations and continue to operate.

Now, Hearns -- who grew up in Detroit -- tells TMZ Sports Madonna's generosity will have a HUGE impact with young boxers and the community as a whole.

"I think it's awesome for her to help, being as big as she is," Hearns says ... "The people who get the help she provides will probably shed tears."

There's no good time to get arrested, but NFL superstar Josh Gordon just got nailed for an alleged DWI … at possibly the worst time for his future as a football player.

The Cleveland Browns all-pro wide receiver was busted in Raleigh, NC for drunk driving early Saturday morning. According to cops he was initially pulled over for speeding -- 50 in a 35 -- shortly before 3AM.

He was eventually released after posting a $500 bond.

Gordon -- a bonafide superstar who led the league in receiving yards last season -- was already set to meet with the NFL this month to discuss his punishment for his second violation of the league's drug policy.

Gordon would've been the main weapon for Johnny Manziel -- or whoever ends up starting at QB -- but he could be facing a year-long suspension just for the drug violation.

His hands are almost TWICE THE SIZE of a regular human's ... but UFC badass Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva tells TMZ Sports his gigantic mitts don't hold him back -- they give him a HUGE edge in a fight.

It's obvious why ... the Brazilian-born heavyweight -- who's in Vegas for UFC International Fight week -- believes his massive fists do way more damage than a pair of average puny sissy-fists.

Silva even did the whole hand-to-hand thing with our photog for scale.

Yo, yo yo yo ... pop a 40 and check your rollies -- 'cause former WWE tag team Crime Time got up close and personal in Vegas with Khloe Kardashian for her 30th birthday.

JTG and Shad Gaspard were in Sin City for UFC 175 and hit up Tao after the weigh-ins ... where K.K. happened to be partying with French Montana and Miguel.

There was also an Elvis impersonator and a giant 4th of July themed cake.

If you were in the V.I.P. section ... check your pockets.

Tony Romo might've given up off -season golf to rehab his ailing back, but that OTHER football? Not so much -- cause TMZ Sports has video of the Cowboys QB kickin' it hard on the soccer field.

Joanna Krupa says it's not a threat if you're quoting someone ... even if you blast it out to 262,079 people.

Krupa was on her way out of Equinox in West Hollywood Friday when she told us the post on her Instagram bashing Texas Tech cheerleader/safari hunter Kendall Jones was not original.

As we previously reported, Kendall's dad says they interpreted the message as a threat, but have no plans to file any sort of police report.

The reality star does have an idea for a fair fight between the animals and the college sophomore.

Rapper Webbie is publicly shaming 50 Cent for failing to pay up after losing a million-dollar bet on a big time boxing match last weekend ... and now he wants his cash money!

Webbie was in L.A. this week jawing about the wager he made with Fiddy right before the lightweight title bout between Terence Crawford and Yuriorkis Gamboa ... who 50 Cent happens to manage.

Webbie says he walked his homie Crawford into the ring where he greeted 50 Cent and immediately threw down a challenge: "I say 50, what's happening? I say I got a mil on my dawg!"

Cut to the 9th round when Crawford knocked out Gamboa, and BOOM ... $1 MILLION payday for Webbie ... or so he thought. In the clip, it sounds like the Louisiana rapper thinks he's getting stiffed.

Then again, maybe 50 didn't understand what was on the line -- Webbie's got a seriously Southern accent.

The 5-year-old boxing phenom who EXPLODED on YouTube isn't just fun to watch -- the kid has the potential to be the next Mike Tyson ... so says someone who would know, UFC star Bruce Buffer.

The fighter-in-training is Nijee "The Future" -- and footage of the kid training with his dad a few weeks ago skyrocketed to 292,000 views on YouTube.

Bruce -- who's been the UFC ring announcer for years and knows what it takes to win in the ring -- tells us the footage blew him away ... "He's like a 2-foot tall Mike Tyson!"

Buffer says the kid's form is incredible -- and if he truly has a passion for the sport as he gets older ... "He'll be a force to be reckoned with."

Richard Sherman is not easily impressed ... but the NFL superstar had to pick his jaw off the ground after an encounter with a legendary leg muscle that blew his mind!!!

The quad belongs to strength and conditioning stud Mike Barwis -- who famously trains some of the top athletes in the world including Ndamukong Suh and UFC stud Rashad Evans.

Barwis -- whose new show "American Muscle" debuts on Discovery on July 9th -- was kickin' Sherman's ass at his training center in Detroit recently when the Seahawks DB came into contact with Mike's leg.

Tennis players make funny faces in the heat of battle ... especially when the pressure's on!

Check out the gnarly looks some of the top racket-wielders in the world served up during Wimbledon.

Or, if that doesn't tickle your fancy ... here's a compilation of John McEnroe's greatest tantrums. Who doesn't love that?

Chestnut took home first prize a short time later ... he downed 61 dogs in 10 minutes ... just 8 shy of his world record.

Congrats!
