Well at least there’s one brave, honest MMA organization left in the world that’s willing to take a chance on War Machine despite his arrests and controversial views on American politics. Canadian league XMMA is holding an event tonight in Montreal which features the fighter formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver in the main event against Guillaume "Il Toro" de Lorenzi. De Lorenzi is a perfect 5-0 in MMA competition with all wins by TKO, the last four of which came in the first round.
Machine is actually a replacement for Phil Baroni, who pulled out of the match against "Il Toro" two weeks ago when Strikeforce acquired his contract from Pro Elite; Baroni expects to make his Strikeforce return in May. Machine — who most recently scored a first-round TKO win over David Anderson at a Desert Rage event in November — still has about ten hours to do something stupid enough to get him kicked off the show, which is like eight weeks in normal-people time. So cross your fingers for him, and if you’ll actually be buying the XMMA pay-per-view broadcast, let us know how it goes.

I can just imagine the advertisement company trying to decide on what to with War Machine "So wait...his name is War Machine?" "Thats what it says here" "Uh...ok...lets just put quotes around Machine then?" "Sounds good..pass the blow"

Damnit, Ben! No liveblog? WTF?!! Seriously though, this is on PPV? O_o

That's a pretty catchy poster. I'm starting to feel like War Machine is the Paris Hilton of Cagepotato. He only gets stronger with more negative publicity he gets...

I dont know what it is but I just cant stand any MMA org that has an "X" in their name.

There once was a man, Koppenhaver Who, in order to seem much more braver Changed his name on the scene And became War Machine Now the gays in the club are much safer

Why does mma always have to be associated with extreme? You would think now that we are in 2009 we would be over our 20 year obsession with the word extreme, but you would be wrong.

If I ever do a promotion it will be called. NMMA. Normal MMA for normal people. :)

anybody know where to find streaming video for tonight?

Wasn't it a Canadian band, The Guess Who, that offered "I don't need your war machines?" Effing XMMA hosers ought to pay attention, eh?
Fri, 02/27/09 - 09:35
I'm not really sure what's funnier, shitwhistle's poem, or the fact that WM wasn't even security at the gay bar, but a fuckin' COCKtail Waitress!
Fri, 02/27/09 - 09:45
That was the Guess Who! That line seems so prophetic now, huh? Back at the club, those boys don't recognize the name War Machine. He's known there as Jon Kopafeeler. And not on "chicks, bro, chicks." Vatadouche.

After reading that interview in the link, he sounds like an alright guy, despite the (humerous) abuse CP heaps onto him. Sure he's made some mistakes but he's working on improving himself, in my eyes that makes him an OK bloke. If a fat oaf was looking to kick off with me, I'd twat him first as I'm sure most of you would. And TUF Guy whoever the fuck you are, you fail. At being first especially.
Fri, 02/27/09 - 10:55
Where the hell did he find time to train? He's screwed..

Now that I take another look at that poster, I have to ask myself, what the FUCK is it with MMA fighters and the har har har kooky hairdos? I mean, honestly, Gouwenberg and Claveau...do you *really* want to model yourselves after Tim Sylvia and Heath Herring? You so crazy, guys.

Ok, that was pretty funny of cool... I'm sorry. What cool did made me LOL so much that I immediately made exponentially increasing big fonts of COOL into my new signature. Well, I would, if I knew how to do it.

I watched warmachine v j rock on ufc wired the other night and I had forgotten how tough he was...dont laugh rewatch the fight he pulled it out of the fire...what a way to spunk away a career

My name is Machine, War Machine. And I'll die another day, cause I've got a XMMA title to win. fuck a Dana Baldfinger.
Fri, 02/27/09 - 04:44
I see War Machine quieting some critics tonight... 1st round KO over Guillame... It'll be a big win for him.... I wouldn't count him out yet.
Fri, 02/27/09 - 07:30
All the radio ads have stayed the same both in french and english so theyre still advertising Baroni and not War Machine. Some St.leonard guidos are gonna be pretty pissed off that its a finnochio who took Baroni's place.
