This time, Brian Williams may not be exaggerating.

Talks between the exiled anchor and NBCUniversal have recently become tense — with the 55-year-old newsman saying he will not have his “NBC Nightly News” job taken away without a battle, The Post has learned.

“Brian is saying he’s not going down without a fight and [is] threatening to make it really ugly — worse than Ann Curry,” a source close to NBC told The Post.

Without a doubt, there is an increasing urgency within NBCUniversal management ranks to bring the prickly situation to an end.

Williams is fighting for the rights of two-bit liars to sit in news anchor chairs?

UP WITH LIAR RIGHTS! UP WITH LOWLIFE RIGHTS!

If NBC News wasn’t such a joke this would be really pathetic. As is, it’s popcorn stuff...

He won’t go down without a fight? You know, he says he once beat Muhammad Ali in a boxing match, so don’t count him out...

A fight? Worse than Ann Curry?

WOW!!!

That's like the time Brian raised the flag on Mount Suribachi!

Brian is not to be messed with, he jumped on Normandy on D-day. Before that, he was known to have fought with William at Hastings in 1066. Then aboard HMS Victory with Nelson at Trafalgar followed by standing with the Wellington at Waterloo.

Brian is not one to be trifled with.

Brian Williams will get his money because NBC knew of his past lies when they agree to his contract last year and signed it anyway.
