Despite a recent arrest outside a San Diego watering hole that landed him and cuffs (and a spit bag), the mixed martial artist formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver (10-3) will return to the fight game against Tex Johnson (6-2) at Wild Bill's Fight Night 26 on April 17 in Atlanta, Georgia.
"War Machine" has been in the news recently more for his new-found adult film career than mixed martial arts.
After making his debut in the porn industry late last year, Koppenhaver ran amock at an insider's party in which numerous bystanders fell victim to the TUF veteran's insanity. A warrant was subsequently granted for his arrest.
As far as his MMA career, Mr. Machine actually won five consecutive bouts following the release from his UFC contract after his loss to Yoshiyuki Yoshida at UFC 84, before dropping his last contest to David Mitchell at the appropriately named Tachi Palace Fights 1: "Most Wanted."
"Tex" Johnson (6-2), 23, has yet to compete past the first round in any of his fights to date, and all six of his victories have come via submission.
Wild Bill's Fight Night 26 is also expected to feature Sonny South, Joe Merit, William Kuhn, Sean Kilgus, and Dustin Chovanic.

as long as i can still say i hate the french and canadians from quebec its all good
An arrest waiting to happen
I bet he get’s arrested again at a Hooter’s after-party. What a douche…though his GnP is pretty decent.
Mmmm
Hooters!

War Machine/Junie Browning HAS to happen....

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
I would include it in the pool if it did

One of the potentially best train wreck match ups in MMA since the Tito - Shamrock trilogy.

It was 3, the second ended in an early stoppage

Would this be consider a "Super Fight"?

It's as relevant as a prison fight

if Eddie Alverez/Josh Neer is a super fight then I don't know why this wouldn't be

Why hate on Bellator?
Somebody needs to kick DW in the nuts, why not them?
Besides, Alvarez is arguably top 5 in the world. War Machine isn’t top 30.

I agree..but Alverez/Neer is the farthest thing from a super fight. Its super that they're going to fight but its not a "superfight"

agreed.
They need something for Alvarez until Huerta wins the tournament.

No
Butterbean-Tank Abbott would be a super fight. I’m doing everything I can to make it happen.

The fact that this convict continues to get promoted sickens me
People will do anything to make money. Shame that these promoters care more about profits than ethics.

I don't care if it's redneck retard brothel
I’m sick of this dick head getting attention from the media and MMA promoters. War Machine is a bloody moron who should be in prison, not getting paid to compete in a sport that I love.

Yes David.....
If only everybody on this planet was as ethical as you are….however, MMA is a BUSINESS, and like every other business, its main objective is to make MONEY. Not interested in watching this fight? Don’t watch it. If we were to sit here and discuss just how unethical Dana White is, I’m sure you would still continue watching UFC events.

I think war machine should stick to his adult videos and never fight. He is a great promoter but that is about it

Anyone who gets near this freak deserves what they have coming
This guy is mentally unstable and there is no telling what will happen leading up to the fight or after. If he starts punching patron in the face, I don’t want to hear about it because thats what this guy does. You watch this guy fight or try to make money off of him at your own peril
Fuck Strikeforce
I’m Calling Expedia and getting my flight changed to Atlanta. I hope he will have Hooters wings VIP "Watch Me Eat’ packages.
