Here's what 2 black eyes, 1 broken nose and a broken foot look like ... courtesy of UFC stud Rory MacDonald.

Rory battled it out with Robbie Lawler at UFC 189 in one of the most violent brawls of all time ... and even though Rory lost the fight, everyone is hailing him as a champ for fighting through the blood and the pain.

In fact, both fighters were hurt so badly, they each went to the hospital DIRECTLY after the bout ... instead of hanging around for the usual post-fight news conference.

Don't worry ... despite the fact they killed each other in the octagon, they were super friendly at the hospital ... where Lawler was treated for a massive split lip.

And the best part ... they SMILED for the pic ... which, given their injuries, had to hurt like a BIATCH.

Yeah, these guys are tough.

UFC badass Conor McGregor kept the Irish party train rollin' on Sunday -- extending his UFC 189 victory party to a crazy Vegas bikini party ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It all went down at the Foxtail Pool Club at the SLS Hotel ... where a barely bruised McGregor took in some sun with UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste ... while Ty Dolla Sign took care of the music.

Amazing McGregor even made it out Sunday -- considering he was partying his face off the night before ... hitting up Vegas nightclubs hours after he beat up Chad Mendes in UFC 189.

Guess he can sleep on the plane.

He's worth MILLIONS, but Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak saved a couple of bucks this weekend by stuffing himself into a coach seat on Southwest airlines ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Kupchak -- along with other members of the Lakers staff -- flew from LAX to Vegas ... where the team played against the Minnesota Timberwolves in an NBA summer league game.

By the way, Kupchak is 6'9" tall -- so it's a tight squeeze, even for a 45 minute flight!!!

The good news -- Mitch was the second guy on the plane so he was able to lock down the emergency exit row ... scoring himself a few extra inches.

But here's where things get interesting ... Lakers part-owner Jim Buss was also at LAX that day to fly to Vegas -- but did NOT get on the same Southwest flight.

Private jet, perhaps??

They destroyed their competition on the court -- but there was one last match for Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic last night ... an all out disco dance battle!

It all went down at the Wimbledon champion's dinner in London --where the two were onstage being honored by a bunch of fancy Brits ... when the band began to play "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees.

There was some awkward disco pointing by Novak ... a valiant effort ... but in the end, IT WAS ALL SERENA!

Afterward, Williams tweeted ... "Wimbledon champions/ Clowns 😜 congrats @djokernole we brought back the dance!"

Holy crap -- Kris Humphries got game!!!!

Kim Kardashian's ex-husband was out in Hollywood this weekend -- hitting up Hyde nightclub with 5 CHICKS ... and TMZ Sports has the video.

Last we saw Kris, he was getting taunted with a "Kanye" chant during an NBA game ... but apparently, the ladies at Hyde didn't care -- following K.H. into the club like he was a frickin' boss.

BTW -- Humphries has reportedly made more than $50 MILLION during his NBA career.

Speed runs in Chad Johnson's family -- and the proof is in his 10-year-old daughter ... who's one of the fastest little girls in the country ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We've spoken with a bunch of important people in the track and field world who tell us there's buzz around Cha'iel Johnson (aka "Moca") ... who posted a BLAZING 29.5 in the 200 meters in 2014.

She's only gotten faster since then and has been smoking people in major competitions across the country ... while speed training with her famous father.

In fact, Moca is set to compete in the 200m, 400m and 800m sprints at the National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Jacksonville later this month ... and Chad says he couldn't be more proud.

Johnson says he LOVES his daddy/daughter time -- and now that he's not in the NFL, he's had a lot more time to be a hands-on parent.

But Chad says it's important to keep Moca humble -- which is why he also races her full speed ... and dominates ... saying, "I want her to know there's room for improvement. But she's quick as hell."

7/16 -- Harden's lawyer, Tony Bisconti, tells TMZ Sports ... "Mr. Harden denied these false allegations and vigorously defended against this meritless lawsuit from the outset."

"As a result of Mr. Harden’s refusal to allow himself to be subjected to these baseless accusations, the plaintiff ultimately decided to drop the lawsuit, which was dismissed without the plaintiff receiving any monetary payment."

"We are pleased with the outcome and glad to have it resolved."

Remember when James Harden was accused of punching a Lakers fan in the face who told him "Kobe owns your ass?"

Well, seems Harden has finally thrown in the towel in that legal war ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story, Harden was sued by a guy who admitted taunting James on the way out of a nightclub back in 2013.

The accuser says James socked him in the kisser and flipped him off ... before speeding off into the night.

For his part, Harden never copped to the punch but said if -- and only IF -- he did it, the guy had it coming because he posed a threat to James and his friends.

They were poised for a legal showdown -- but now, we've learned Harden struck a settlement with the accuser ... essentially ending the case for good. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

More drama for Floyd Mayweather last night ... when an SUV in his motorcade crashed into a guy on a motorcycle -- as the boxer and his crew were on their way home from a nightclub.

Floyd had just made an appearance at One% nightclub in Kansas City ... when one of the 5 vehicles in Mayweather's TMT motorcade collided with the bike around 3AM.

It's unclear if Floyd was riding in the SUV involved in the accident -- but in video obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see Mayweather at the crash scene while people attend to the downed biker.

Emergency personnel raced to help -- but the biker's condition is unknown.

One witness at the scene told us it appeared as if the motorcycle clipped the back end of the SUV -- and the guy was ejected from his bike.

We also obtained pics which showed Floyd in the passenger seat of an SUV earlier in the night -- so it's unlikely he was driving.

We reached out to Mayweather's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.

J.K. Rowling just went all AVADA KEDAVRA on some pathetic cyber troll -- EVISCERATING an "idiot" who talked smack about Serena Williams.

The "Harry Potter" creator was giving mad props to Williams on Twitter for winning Wimbeldon -- saying, "I love her. What an athlete, what a role model, what a woman!"

Enter some schmuck named Rob, who tweeted back at Rowling -- "Ironic then that main reason for her success is that she is built like a man."

That's when Rowling delivered the "drop the mic" moment -- posting a pic of Serena looking SMOKIN' HOT in a dress ... and adding the caption, "'she is built like a man'. Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot."

Goodnight Rob.

A Buffalo Bills offensive line coach was arrested in Florida last night ... after cops say he went BERSERK on 3 boys who were fishing ... punching one in the face and threatening to kill him.

The Walton County Sheriff's Office say ... a tipster told them 48-year-old Aaron Kromer had confronted the boys at Inlet Beach over the use of some beach chairs that were left by a beach access point.

The boys told cops Kromer and his son were FURIOUS they were using the chairs -- so they grabbed the boys' fishing poles and threw them into the water.

Cops say Kromer then pushed one of the boys to the ground and punched him in the face ... while telling the boys to return the chairs to where they found them.

According to the WCSO, "The victim stated Kromer also told him if he reported him to the police he would kill his family."

Kromer was arrested Sunday morning for misdemeanor battery -- and booked into the Walton County Jail. He has since been released on bond.

The Bills have issued a statement saying, "We are aware of the report and in the process of gathering the facts."

When your smooth, hairless legs are worth a FORTUNE, ya flaunt what ya got ... at least according to international soccer superstar Neymar -- who busted out some ultra-micro tiny swim trunks this weekend in Vegas.

The Brazilian sensation -- easily one of the top 5 players in the world -- hit up the Encore Beach Club at the Wynn Las Vegas ... where he took in some sun before UFC 189.

During the pool party, Neymar kicked it with a ton of huge stars -- including Team USA champ Christen Press (above) ... and Houston Rockets superstars James Harden and Trevor Ariza.

FYI -- we're told Harden was WITHOUT Khloe Kardahsian this time around ... but it's not like he was out lookin' for chicks. We're told he kicked it in a cabana with a bunch of his guy friends.

To the victor, GOES THE WHISKEY!!!

Shaquille O'Neal is about to learn how Grant Hill's opinion tastes ... 'cause the ex-NBA star and new part owner of the Hawks just called out Shaq's signature bball shoe ... as the ugliest of all time.

Grant was out at LAX looking sharp when our camera guy asked him which shoe was the most dreadfully ugly pair of stompers ever to grace an NBA court.

Check out the clip -- Hill bypasses all the usual suspects (we're looking at you Kobe II's) and hits The Diesel right where it hurts, saying his kicks take the cake when it comes to fugly footwear.

Ugly? Maybe. Size 22? Definitely. Tread lightly Grant.

Despite the fact he's been charged with domestic violence and false imprisonment, ex-NFL star Ray McDonald is still "in great spirits" and confident he'll be exonerated, so says his mom.

We spoke with Labrina McDonald ... who tells us Ray is still working out and staying in shape -- but understands he'll likely never play another down in the NFL.

"We're healing," Labrina says ... "Ray's in great spirits considering he has lost his career. His dream turned into a nightmare."

As we previously reported, Ray is accused of attacking his ex-fiancee while she was holding their 2-month-old child back in May. Labrina says Ray's driver witnessed the whole thing and insists McDonald is innocent.

"Ray hasn't been found guilty in court, but he's guilty by public perception. I just wish the teams would've looked at the actual facts before firing him. But we're not bitter."

We have a winner for BIGGEST Comic-Con nerd -- it's gotta be Dwight Howard ... who's roaming San Diego as "Predator."

Yeah, unless there's a 7-footer dressed as the Alien (which would be awesome) ... we're guessing 6'11" Dwight is king of the hill for cosplay fans this weekend.

Check out the clip ... Dwight told us about all the time and effort he put into his get up. Hint: not much.

Taylor Swift created one awesome moment ... when she brought the U.S. Women's Soccer team on stage in the middle of her concert.

Taylor was playing Met Life Stadium in NJ, and fresh off their parade in NYC -- the World Cup Champs came out while Taylor sang "Style."

Talk about bringing the house down -- the Swifties soaked up the patriotic moment as Alex Morgan loaned the World Cup trophy to Taylor ... just for a few seconds.

USA! USA! USA!!
