There was a lot of love in Madison Square Garden tonight between Donald Trump and Joe Rogan.

Just over two weeks after the 45th and soon-to-be 47th Potus sat down with the ex-Fear Factor host for a three hour interview on Rogan’s blockbuster podcast, the bromance took it up a notch Saturday at UFC 309 with a long hug between the two men and some clearly very kind words.

As expected, Trump showed up at Msg tonight to add some Commander-in-chief razzle dazzle to his old pal Dana White’s latest fight night.

The two-time impeached Trump had an entourage that included new-ish buddy Elon Musk, potential Hhs Secretary Rfk Jr., director of National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard, Kid Rock, Donald Trump Jr. and a clearly uncomfortable Speaker Mike Johnson. Increasingly scandalized Trump cabinet nominees Matt Gaetz and Peter Hegseth were nowhere to be seen.

Comedy series “Tacoma Fd” has been canceled at TruTV after four seasons, Variety has confirmed.

The series originally debuted on the basic cabler back in 2019. The show was part of the network’s push into original scripted series, alongside other shows like “At Home With Amy Sedaris,” “I’m Sorry,” and “Bobcat Goldthwait’s Misfits & Monsters.” However, TruTV’s original programming lineup has been winnowed down to virtually nothing in the past few years, with the only original series still on the network being the hidden camera show “Impractical Jokers.”

Likewise, fellow TNets like TBS and TNT — all of which fall under the Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella — have gone from notable rosters of scripted shows to having none. Most recently, the TBS comedy series “Miracle Workers” was canceled after four seasons. That show featured a cast that included Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi.

Cormier says he appreciates the Ufc and Lesnar for trying to make a...

Daniel Cormier says his upcoming title defense against Stipe Miocic could be his last hurrah in the Ufc Octagon ... telling TMZ Sports, "I don't anticipate fighting much past this." Remember, DC had always said he would retire on his 40th birthday -- but that came and went in March ... with Cormier breaking his vow to take on a second fight with Stipe.  Now that the rematch is set for August 17 in Anaheim, we asked Cormier...

Brock Lesnar was submitted to official Ped testing just Weeks before he told Dana White he was retiring from Mma for good, TMZ Sports has learned.  We spoke with a rep for the United States Anti-Doping Agency which performs all of the testings on Ufc fighters and confirmed Lesnar has not only been in the testing pool, but submitted 9 samples over the past year.  In fact, Lesnar submitted two tests in 2019 -- once in the...

Greg Hardy says he's ready to get back in the Octagon Right Now after destroying Dmitry Smolyakov this weekend ... telling TMZ Sports he knows he's getting better by the day.  The ex-nfl star annihilated Smolyakov in a violent 2-minute beatdown at "Ufc Fight Night" in Florida on Saturday -- with Hardy Barely taking any damage in the fight.  So, we asked Hardy when he's planning to take another fight ... and his answer was simple, "As soon as possible,...

Daniel Cormier says Brock Lesnar better not try to pull any cage-storming antics at Ufc 230 ... because he ain't gonna be so nice this time around.  D.C. fights Derrick Lewis at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night -- and if Cormier wins, it sets up a possible superfight with Lesnar ... a fight they've been unofficially promoting for months.  Remember, after Cormier beat Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title at Ufc 226 back in July, Brock walked...

After obliterating Another opponent, Greg Hardy -- now 3-0 as a pro Mma fighter -- says he's ready for a major Ufc card ... warning the heavyweight division he's a very "dangerous" man. It only took the ex-nfl star 53 seconds to dispose of Ray Jones at Xfn 352 over the weekend in another dominant performance. Not one of Greg's pro fights has lasted more than 60 seconds. So Greg Hardy (@GregHardyJr) went ahead and destroyed another poor soul at a regional show.

If Jon Jones wants a piece of Stipe Miocic ... he might have to wait -- because the former Ufc heavyweight champ says his priority is a rematch with Daniel Cormier!  Remember, Stipe was on a 6-fight win streak (including 3 title defenses) when he lost to Cormier at Ufc 226 back in July.  And,  even though a superfight with Jon Jones could mean a much bigger paycheck -- Stipe says his focus is getting his belt back.

This is interesting ... Daniel Cormier tells TMZ Sports he wants to line up at least one more opponent Before he gets in the Octagon with Brock Lesnar!  Cormier is currently nursing a broken hand from his victory over Stipe Miocic at Ufc 226 -- the same night Lesnar rushed the Octagon and shoved him, hyping up a Cormier vs. Lesnar superfight!  But as Cormier pointed out, Lesnar won't be cleared to fight until early 2019 -- so,...

Lesnar stormed the cage and hyped a Cormier vs. Lesnar super fight.  Miocic -- the former heavyweight champion of the world -- is furious claiming he's Earned a rematch with Cormier before Lesnar gets a shot...

Ronda Rousey stopped short of giving Daniel Cormier G.O.A.T. status -- but tells TMZ Sports the Ufc's new "champ-champ" is definitely the best in the game "right now." The newly inducted Ufc Hall of Famer was at Lax on Monday where we asked if DC's victory over Stipe Miocic at Ufc 226 cements him as the best to ever step in the Octagon.  "I think right now, yeah," Ronda said ... emphasizing the words "right now.

Daniel Cormier was unsurprisingly in the mood to celebrate after his knockout win against Stipe Miocic at Ufc 226. Daniel showed up with his 2 championship belt at the Chateau Nightclub & Rooftop in Vegas.  Confetti rained down on him as the crowd flashed "G.O.A.T." signs. We shot the video at around 1:30 Am Sunday and the party showed no signs of winding down.  D.C. is only the second fighter to hold titles in 2 different weight classes simultaneously.

The Ufc looked like the WWE Saturday night when former Ufc champ Brock Lesnar interrupted Daniel Cormier's victory celebration with an epic throw down. Cormier had just won the title, knocking out Stipe Miocic with a short right hand. As D.C. talked to Joe Rogan, Cormier challenged Lesnar to step into the Octagon, telling him, "Get your ass in here!" 4:33 seconds first round by knock out! Congrats #cormier #ufc226 pic.twitter.com...

There might not be anyone more qualified to pick the winner of the big Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic fight than Roy Nelson -- he fought 'em Both -- and he's putting his money on the underdog!

"Big Country" says Cormier is the smarter fighter,...

3:56 Pm Pt -- A rep for the Ufc tells TMZ Sports ... Cormier insists he's "fine" and will be okay to fight on Saturday. Daniel Cormier slipped and fell while leaving the Ufc 226 news conference in Vegas moments ago ... and it looked like he came up limping. Cormier was getting up from the table after promoting Saturday's fight against Stipe Miocic when he slipped and hit the ground. You can see his championship belt go flying.

Ufc heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic wasn't always a stone cold bad ass -- he's man enough to admit the first time he got punched in the face ... he ran home crying.  Of course, Stipe was only 10 years old at the time ... but Stipe says he's Grateful to the guy who clocked him in the mouth, because it made him into the wrecking machine he is today.  In fact, Stipe has a message to the guy...

Cain Velasquez ain't really gunnin' for a WWE career -- so says his Bff, Daniel Cormier ... who tells us Cain's Brock Lesnar call-out at "Elimination Chamber" was just for fun.

NY Giants star Damon "Snacks" Harrison is a freak athlete -- 6'3,"340 lbs -- and he Really believes he would destroy everyone in the Ufc ... if he just spent some time training up.  And by "everyone" -- he means the reigning Ufc heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic.  We're not kidding -- Harrison truly believes he has the athletic ability, the toughness and the mindset to become the next Ufc heavyweight champion of the world.  Of course,...
