'Fail Machine' Fired From Yet Another Job

War Machine MySpace MMA Bellator

A lot of you have already been discussing this in the comments sections of today's stories, but we wanted to pass along the above screen-cap of War Machine's latest MySpace blog post, courtesy of Fightlinker. It seems that his provocative political views ("Fuck an Obama...I hope someone smokes that motherfucker and every president to come") have gotten him kicked off of another promotion's roster. This time it's the Bellator Fighting Championships, which will be launching a series of MMA tournaments to be televised on ESPN Deportes beginning April 4th. And while a setback like this would certainly convince us to stop posting our private thoughts in public, Machine is not "changing for anyone or any dollar amount...I will always be true to myself and my beliefs." Take it from an objective observer, War — your beliefs aren't worth more than a potential $250,000 payday. I don't even think you could put a down payment on a pre-owned Ford Focus with your beliefs. And dude, "fuck a Disney"? FOR SHAME.

Bellator's roster is coming together very slowly, but here's who they have so far according to MMA Weekly:

Announced Participants for Lightweight Tournament
Eddie Alvarez
Jorge Masvidal
Thomas Schulte
Diego Garijo

Announced Participants for Featherweight Tournament
Wilson Reis
Nick Gonazlez
Joe Soto

lol. I'd bet 30k that war machine has never paid out that in taxes or even close. In fact, I am doubting that he has ever even made 30k in a year. What a fucking little bitch. Lucky for us this piece of shit waste of air will fade into obscurity before long.

Far be it for me to impinge on his "freed om of speach", but dude has got to get a grip.

It's a terrible catch-22. If he had won the quarter million, then he would have been able to hire a copy editor and at least his "belie fs" could be disseminated in a way that wouldn't leave the reader thinking he'd been huffing paint thinner all morning.

When he gets laughed out of literally every MMA promotion on the planet, will he have to change his name to Chalupa Machine? The guacamole gun doesn't operate itself, you know.

You CAN say whatever you want. You're not in jail so stop bitching.

But if I tell my boss that I'm going to shove a baseball bat up his yahoo then I'm probably going to get fired. If I tell someone else that I'm going to kill their sister they will probably punch me. If I tell someone on an airplane that I have a bomb in my bag they're going to freak.

Although, to be fair. I think there is a clause that says "Freedom of speech to all NOT named war machine", so you could have a case to argue.

Atleast we can be entertained by such shit.

that's a big plus.

Oh, War is a cool fighter. His attitude is what makes him ,but damn I wanna see him fight and improve in the UFC or any organization. I've seen him fight a few times in Total Combat and knew he would be an up and coming fighter as well as rudeboy, kendal just to name a few. Damnit get it together I wanna see WM knock some heads and then all that trash talking can come.

Little Johnny is upset with disney because they wont give him his own ride (the war machine). He needs somewhere to cry every day and disney aint havin it. What other reason could he possibly say fuck disney (the happiest place in the world) Johnny boy should just realize nobody likes him because he is the biggest fucking loser to ever be in a fight.
If you really hate this fucker as much as me look at my acrostic comment

You all are a bunch of bitches.

fuck a Disney? like Jasmine? She's hawt!

F: Jasmine, M: Belle, K: Cinderella

his fight with Rollins was great, but he sure is a retard. I won't really miss him

He's so aggressive and in your face...like a human tapout shirt.

Does this fucking guy live in his own world....what is his fucking problem. If he cannot see why nobody wants him, he defintely is delusional. He appears to think that he is a legend in his own mind. Wake up dickhead, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO CONFORM TO SOME OF THE NORMS IN SOCIEITY IF YOU WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE. DickMachine sounds like he is living in his own world. He is childish and immature. GROW THE FUCK UP ASSHOLE!!!!!!!

like i said, he almost sounds as stupid as my son.

This guy has a talent for being an absolute idiot. Hope he never get work other than at McDs.

Winnie's settin' to open a can a whoop ass on dis beeyotch.

THis guy is pathetic!! And yes you have freedom of speech, that is why you weren't put in prison for saying those stupid things, but companies are not going to co-sign that madness, so yeah your free to say whatever you want, but you are going to stay broke doing it.

From the joe rogan thread in which this was already posted by someone...

"Guess I should just erase my MySpace and/or just keep MY opinions to MYSELF?"

Possibly the only rational sentence to ever leave warmachine's mouth. To answer your question war... YES.

I wonder if he realizes that he has freedom of speech and he is able to say whatever he wants, but just because our constitution allows you the freedom to say what you want it doesn't mean our government is obligated to protect you from consequences from your employers, the public ect. I mean I know that I'm free to walk around my office saying anything I want but I also know that if I say the wrong thing to the wrong people my ass will get fired and it's noones fault but my own.

You hear that, War Machine? Bellator Fighting Championships just said

"FUCK A MACHINA DE GUERRA!"

I wouldn't take that if I was you, bro.

Tampon Machine is at it again

Mico-E.C.

I think you're the only one that ever has any interest in seeing this toolbag fight again. Well.. I guess I have to take that back, there are quite a few people that would love to see him get the shit beaten out of him. Me personally, while I would enjoy seeing this dude get a fist rammed into that dumbass mouth, I'd like it even more if he just disappeared into obscurity never to be heard from again.

All else aside, he legally changed his name to "war machine"... what the fuck...

I'm disappointed in everyone here. If it weren't for guys like WM fighting for free speech, we would all be locked up in a gulag in North Dakota. War Machine lays it on the line every day. How dare we be indebted to him for the freedoms he provides, but question the manner in which he provides it. You want War Machine on that myspace, you need War Machine on that myspace.

That's pretty funny "freedom of speech" at the expense of your financial well-being isn't freedom of speech at, the man has a somewhat poorly constructed but valid point. He didn't tatoo "Evan Tanner is a Dead Asshole" on his chest, nor did he walk to the cage burning an effigy of Obama that said "Fuck President Purple Lips". These are personal comments he made on his fucking myspace page. If people don't see the precedent that's set by a company reaching into someone's personal life and dictating what they can and cannot say than this country has hit rock bottom.

The nation supposedly believes in free speech, but the only people in the position to employ you or anyone else don't. That's bullshit.

Fuck a Cage Potato!

I'm impressed that he knows when to use "an" as opposed to "a", but I really don't get why he does that in the first place. Not "fuck Obama", it's "fuck an Obama"... as in not THE Obama, you know, just one of those Obama fuckers out there... pick one.

Does that include Obama girl?

lol @ an agentsmith

The US Constitution provides absolutely no provisions for the protection of attention whoring. 14:57, 14:58, 14:59...annnnd...War Machine's time is up, folks.

you cant knock him for being a free thinker..but god damn, just shut up War Machine. Do you realize the only time you get any publicity (maybe bi-monthly because you said something really offensive) its through your own myspace? You should get into pro wrestling or something where people like douchebags.

-LtD

I'm sick of people complaining about the lack of "freedom of speech." Dumb motherfuckers like War Machine don't understand that freedom of speech is only protected if infringed upon by the government. Any private person or entity can keep you from saying whatever they want. So shut the fuck up and keep your opinions to yourself like 99.9% of the working world.

i must agree with his lack of freedom statement.
worshiping presidents is shameful, and obama is indeed just another rich well educated man in a suit just like all others(excpet for bush which wasnt well educated at all).
i cant understand why bellator fire him for bashing the president.as voters we all should be entitled of exposing our opinions on politics, and not believing in any change after a new guys is in charge of a country is reasonable and fair enough, in spite of the fighter's lack of solid arguments on the case.

I can't believe people stick up for wm. He just sounds like a fucking retarded middle schooler. I don't care what he's talking about. As long as he's talking like "fuck dis fuck dat bitch ass muther fuckers fuck these faggots.." then I don't care if he's talking about the president or what kind of ice cream he likes I just don't want to hear his mouth. And, like i said before, he legally changed his name to war machine... what the fuck... go away.

War Machine + J-Roc = Bromance

post of the week

Wait, did he just say "Fuck a Disney!"???

Well, as long as he doesnt say fuck a PIXAR...

Serious question. Was War Machine "Punched In" when he said those big mean and semi-coherent words? Was he "On the Clock"? What did what he said have to do with the promotions he was involved with? So if you call someone a rude name at some point in your life over the internet, you should be removed from your employment? Or should that sort of protection only extend to people criticizing Obama or any other piece of crap celebrity?

Im not really surprised that so many people hate on War Machine, but i have to admit I agree with a lot of what he says. He might not say it in the most elegant way, but there is a lot of truth in his rants.

He shouldn't get fired for what he says, he should only be judged on his performance as a fighter.

Look at Mike Tyson he did a lot of bad things and said a lot of wild stuff, but he never got fired for the wild crazy things he said.

@ Knoname321

True, but Boxing has been around a lot longer and Mike Tyson was a proven athlete. Plus all he said was he wanted to eat someone's baby or something. MMA is still seen as a brutal sport by some and they don't need the negative attention from some douchebag who's dumber than TUF Guy's Dad son.

Fuck a Myspace for giving this retard a place to ramble

It doesn't matter if he was punched in or not, if you go around making a fool of yourself after you "punched out" would your employer still want you around even if you act normal on the clock? If i went on the internet saying stupid shit all the time, I am sure I would not be employed. You people talking this shit never have worked for anybody in your life.

I hold two jobs, one which I'm conveniently able to post on cp from intermittently. I don't come to work drunk off my ass, I don't harass the customers, and I comport myself well among the customers, my co-workers and higher-ups. That's where my loyalty and responsibility to the company ends, and that's how it should be. To say that a company you work for should be able to stalk you on the internet and make sure you only say things they approve of is a real dangerous fucking statement, bitch tits.

and your a stroke im sure you arent war machine

that comment was directed at whoever called themselves WM

isnt he facing felony assault charges and i highly doubt he has paid that much in taxes
it makes me wonder if Koppenhomo was really born in Holland

My managers are always saying.. "what you do outside of the company affects you here". In fact the last guy that had my job got fired for getting too many dui's. Anyone who works for a major corporation cannot just go on myspace or facebook and say whatever they want. It reflects poorly on the company. It's up to them how they want to monitor, discipline ect. For example, if I went on my facebook and posted pictures of me smoking a blunt or even talking about drugs and the wrong person saw it I'd be out the door.

Also, do we really know why he got the boot for a fact or are we just taking wm's word for it? I'd take anything this guy says with a grain of salt. Regardless, everyone has the right to free speech and all but if you work for someone and you do something that they feel reflects badly on them they also have the right to do what they feel is necessary for the good of the company. MMA is still struggling for mainstream acceptance so if an org. identifies a fighter has being a poor representative of the sport or their organization then they should be able to respond accordingly. I don't see what the big deal is. The guy is a toolbag and is always running his mouth and making an ass of himself, so why should anyone want to keep him around?

Hey WarMachine.....why don't you go back in the break room @ K-Mart and start flippin' out about how you should shoot "every president to come" and see how long you last there. I don't really want to teach you a leson on how freedom of speech differs from insulting your employer. I just really like to read these stories about your collective douchbaggery, and I want to hear more. Maybe apply at Babies R Us and pass out fliers on abortion or get a job at Panda Express and drop a couple of "Chink" or "Oriental" bombs on those fools. All I'm saying is that I think you should expand your horizons. Just for the record, I'd only fuck a Disney if she's hot.

Don't get my wrong, I'm not saying that corporations shouldn't have rights to defend their interests, and if War Machine was doing something illegal or got arrested for doing something illegal, that's a whole different story. I too concede that he may not be filling us in on the whole situation, but if it is as he says and that he got fired with NO WARNING for something he SAID to his personal cadre of fans and friends, than that is bullshit.

Your argument is pretty good, but you have to understand that duis and sexual harassment suits, smoking weed and the like are way different than someone having harsh, poorly constructed opinions and voicing them on shitty teeny bopper websites, it's not like he was at a pre or post fight conference when he said these things, either. I just want people to consider the ramifications of this situation, if true.

This certainly must be the love child of Tito and K.Shamrock. There really is no other logical explanation.

Dear War Machine as your superior I suggest you get your head out of the super-hero realm, and come back into the real world.

Nobody likes you, nobody cares what you have to say, you are a NOBODY!!!!

IRON MAN RULES ALL

The UNEMPLOYED MACHINE.

War Machine, "Freedom of 'Speach'" has nothing to do with your actions or what you've said, you moron. Like others mentioned, you're not in jail. You don't mouth off to your superiors and act a fool if you want to move up the ladder. That rule transcends freedom of speech, haha.
