Floyd Mayweather should probably think long and hard before firing back at Ronda Rousey -- 'cause Dana White says she would "rag doll" the boxer if they ever got into a real brawl.

White was at Glendale Gym watching Rousey train yesterday -- hours before Ronda blasted Floyd on the red carpet of the ESPYs.

That's when we had an almost prescient moment ... and spoke to White about what would happen if the two ever got into a real fight.

"Floyd Mayweather throws his hands," White says ... "Ronda would grab onto him and RAG DOLL him."

White also says Conor McGregor would OBLITERATE the boxer as well.

As for Floyd, he hasn't responded to Ronda's comments yet -- and after this clip, we can't blame him.

Andre Berto has NOT signed on the dotted line to fight Floyd Mayweather on September 12th ... but they're getting there ... sources connected to the deal tell TMZ Sports.

As we previously reported, Mayweather dropped Berto's name as a possible opponent -- and Berto WANTS to fight Floyd -- but the fact of the matter is the deal has not been finalized.

Our sources tell us ... the two sides have spoken -- but without a firm deal in place, we're told Mayweather's camp is still reaching out to other potential opponents in case Berto falls through.

That being said, our sources tell us it's pretty likely the two sides WILL come to an agreement -- this isn't at all like the Pacquiao situation which took FOREVER to close.

We're told there should be some significant movement in the next few days.

Peter Berg ain't happy with all the praise being heaped on Caitlyn Jenner -- and is now mocking everyone from ESPN to President Obama for honoring her ... instead of military vets.

The "Friday Night Lights" director -- who also produces and co-stars in "Ballers" -- reposted a crass meme to Instagram following the ESPYs which compares a double amputee military vet to Caitlyn.

Berg co-signed on the meme with a simple comment -- "Yup."

Berg wasn't the only star to express outrage over Jenner getting the award -- Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry tweeted, "What exactly is 'COURAGE' these days?"

He was retweeted by NFL linebacker Sio Moore.

So, how is ESPN handling the criticism? Michelle Beadle summed it up this way:

"This rage over an arbitrary award is silly. Courage and bravery come in many forms and faces. I welcome progress for everyone. #BeYou."

Tennis stud Bernard Tomic -- the 25th ranked player in the world -- was arrested in Miami Beach yesterday after cops say he fought WAY TOO HARD for his right to PAAAAARRTTYYYY!!!

The 22-year-old Australian was staying at the W Hotel ... and according to the police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, dude was having a BLOWOUT rager in the penthouse suite.

Officials say the neighbors (read: squares) complained about the loud noise and music several times -- so hotel security went up to ask Bernard to keep it down.

But Bernard is no slave to "the man" ... and allegedly "pointed his finger aggressively" at the security guards and slammed the door in their faces.

The hotel decided to EVICT Bernard from the room ... and called the cops who told Bernard and his guests to pack up their stuff and leave ... or else they'd be arrested.

Everyone left ... except Bernard -- who told cops he was standing his ground and wouldn't leave the room.

So, they arrested him and forced him to leave.

Carli Lloyd is tough ... really tough ... but there's a limit to how much pain she'll tolerate when it comes to high heeled shoes.

After running around all night long for the ESPYs -- Carli finally had enough with her painful kicks ... and hit the dirty, gross streets of Hollywood ... barefoot.

But the best moment ... when Lloyd got into her waiting SUV with her fiance, we asked if he was actually going to be allowed to attend the World Cup matches in 2019, since Carli forbade him from coming this year.

LeBron James turned into "Rotten Tomatoes" right in the middle of Hollywood last night -- giving a street review of his new movie "Trainwreck" ... and ripping himself in the process.

James was leaving Le Jardin nightclub ... when he told us the movie is unbelievable -- but "I'm not that good in it.

LeBron, you're being hard on yourself.

Our pals at TooFab.com saw a screening of the flick and tell us, "LeBron is FUNNY!" Provides really good comic relief and plays really well off of Bill Hader."

"I don't think he sucked."

By the way, inside the party LeBron was dancing his face off while Future performed for the pumped up crowd. We got video.

Magic Johnson is on the NBC wishlist for the new host of "Celebrity Apprentice" ... TMZ has learned.

Well-connected 'Apprentice' sources tell us the plan is to find "a successful minority businessperson who's active in the inner cities." Magic certainly fits that bill. We're told there has been NO negotiation with him, but he's high on the list.

We're also told George Lopez is on that list. He doesn't have Magic's business cred, but he's hugely successful and a solid host. He also fills NBC's dream bill of getting a Latino to replace Trump. Lopez says he hasn't been contacted, but we're told all the discussions so far have been internal.

Caitlyn Jenner owned the ESPYs Wednesday night when she gave an emotional, personal, sometimes tearful and rousing plea for acceptance of all transgenders ... not just her.

Caitlyn's kids were there in force as she took the stage and joked about being judged ... not as a transgender, but as a woman who had to choose the right dress, hair and makeup.

It turned serious quickly, as she talked about the difficulties transgenders face ... but also the strides her community has made.

Caitlyn choked up as she thanked her children for their support, and the kids all teared up as they watched.

Her speech followed a 6-minute retro on the life of Bruce and Caitlyn, and the private struggles of someone who has led a very public life.

Ben Affleck may be separated, but in the marriage department he has something Jimmy Fallon doesn't ... a wedding ring still attached to his finger.

Ben gave Derek Jeter his award at the ESPYs and the ring was front and center. He's been wearing it lately, even though the couple announced they were getting divorced.

It was pretty funny ... watching the diehard Red Sox fan handing an award to his nemesis. Actually, pretty awesome.

Ronda Rousey is afraid of NO ONE -- not even Floyd Mayweather ... ripping the fighter over his domestic violence history on LIVE TV.

Rousey had just been given the "Best Fighter" award on the red carpet at the ESPYs -- beating out fighters like Mayweather.

When asked how she felt about it, Ronda replied -- "I wonder how Floyd feels being beaten by a woman for once."

Ohio State Buckeyes star Cardale Jones currently makes ZERO dollars as a college athlete ... but this baller on a college budget has a nice little jewelry collection.

Jones posted a "sneak preview" of what he's planning to rock to the ESPYs tonight -- a collection composed of a Gucci watch, Louis Vuitton shades, gold chains, another gold Invicta watch, diamond earrings and a gold belt buckle.

Oh, and his National Championship ring.

For some reason, Jones pulled the video off his Instagram after some of his followers began to question how he could afford such fancy stuff on his NCAA income.

But here's the deal ... at the end of the day ... it might not even be his stuff. Or it could be fake.

Or maybe he's done really well in the stock market.

Finally, some GOOD NEWS for Warren Sapp -- his days of being bankrupt are OVER ... according to new docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... the NFL Hall of Famer filed for Chapter 7 back in 2012 ... claiming he owed more than $6 MILLION in debts to various creditors.

In actuality, he owed more than $10.7 MILLION ... and he was forced to sell off a bunch of his personal property to pay back the cash he owed -- including various championship rings, his massive Nike collection, TVs, computers, furs and sports memorabilia.

According to court docs, Sapp ended up paying off roughly $2.9 million ... and most of the remaining $7.8 million was discharged ... which essentially means he has a clean financial slate.

Now, with his money problems seemingly over -- all Sapp has to worry about is that whole domestic violence thing ... and the hooker thing.

Ask and you shall receive ... that's the lesson Nick Young just learned -- because R. Kelly says the NBA star formally requested that he sing at his wedding ... and R's definitely DOWN FOR IT!

Kelly tells TMZ Sports ... today he finally met with Swaggy P -- who said he was serious about wanting R. to perform his song" Marry the P**sy" when he ties the knot with Iggy Azalea.

Kelly says he had heard rumblings about Young's request, but didn't know if he was serious -- but "now that I know it's real, we got to sit down and discuss the logistics."

BONUS -- We also talked to Kelly about basketball ... and he told us he used to play a regular game with Michael Jordan!!

What's more impressive, Kelly says he used to "hold his own" against MJ on the court.

There's ALWAYS seat politics at award shows -- and the ESPYs are not different ... with Britney Spears sitting SECOND ROW ... in front of a ton of ACTUAL ATHLETES!!

Check out the pics ... Brit's sitting 2nd row -- right behind LeBron James ... but in FRONT of Kevin Love, Iman Shumpert, Von Miller and ESPN's own Chris Berman.

Meanwhile, the entire Gronk family also got front row seats -- in front of Rob's actual Patriots teammates.

Also, how did Shemar Moore get in front of Von Miller?!

L.A. Kings star Slava Voynov has turned himself in to authorities and has officially begun his 90 day jail sentence from his domestic violence case .. TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, Voynov pled no contest to misdemeanor corporal injury to a spouse -- stemming from an altercation with his wife at their Redondo Beach home back in October.

It's a pretty good deal for Slava ... who was facing 9 years in prison if convicted of the original felony charge -- plus, he could have been deported back to Russia.
