EXCLUSIVE


070414_antonio_silva_launch

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.


Apparently, size does matter.

EXCLUSIVE


070314_tony_romo_launch

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.


Romo has made a big deal about putting down the golf clubs so he can rehab -- but he was back in Dallas this week, and back playing in the 6-on-6 indoor soccer league he's been a part of for the past couple of years.


The video speaks for itself -- Romo looks perfectly healthy and even a little quick out on the pitch, making some nice passes and firing a shot just wide of the goal.


FYI -- Tony's team won, which can only mean one thing ... It wasn't the playoffs.

070114_lil_romeo_launch_v3 Romeo is just like every other kid struggling with divorce, and as a result he's decided he's putting the kibosh on discussing Master P and Sonya Miller's ongoing war ... at least until it's settled.


We tried to ask the formerly Lil’ celeb a simple question about his dad’s famous gold tank from the "Make 'Em Say Ugh" video -- but instead he blurted out a PSA for latchkey kids everywhere.


Watch the clip ... the 20-year-old plays the "I'm just a kid" card pretty hard, and says he's staying out of his folks' messy split -- despite Master P dragging Romeo's siblings smack in the middle of it .


You kinda feel for Romeo, even though his parents are warring over a $200 million fortune ... which is clearly NOT common.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. -- Denied by T.I.'s Wife on the BET Awards Red Carpet


063014_tiny_floyd_launch Floyd Mayweather Jr. tried to re-connect with rapper T.I.'s wife on the red carpet of the BET Awards, but she was having none of it ... possibly to avoid another Floyd/T.I. brawl.


Tiny was doing an interview on the red carpet Sunday night when Floyd came rolling by with his girl. He tried to get her attention -- calling her name and trying to grab her elbow -- but she ignored him and just hightailed it out of there.


It's amazing that Floyd would do this, since ... as TMZ previously reported ... it was Floyd's relationship with Tiny that set off the Floyd/T.I. fight at Fatburger in Las Vegas last month.


Round 2, anyone?
