Everyone’s favorite MMA laughing stock, War Machine (the fighter formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver), has signed on to fight for Bellator Fighting Championships, the organization that will run on ESPN Deportes in the spring. I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in…
Welcome back. If you’re like me, your first reaction is one of sorrow. War Machine is back, and will be fighting on TV, instead of slipping away into quiet obscurity. But if you think about it a little more you’ll realize that this is truly a gift.
Even in his relatively short time on the national MMA stage, who has given us more laughs than War Machine? His life, his worldviews, the zany situations he gets himself into thanks to his inability to control the ridiculous ideas bouncing around in his brain – it’s endlessly entertaining. And now he’s going to be sticking around in Español! Thanks, Bellator.
But at least I don’t watch (or even know if I have this channel) so there is no way he’ll be polluting my TV.
Herb, Can you please apply an even amount of powder to avoid chafing?
