So much for leaving on a high note.
War Machine, the artist formerly known as UFC washout Jon Koppenhaver, was submitted last night (July 9) by John Alessio in his final bout before serving a one-year prison sentence (beginning July 16) for his guilty plea stemming from felony assault charges earlier this year.
Tachi Palace Fights 5: "Stars and Strikes" also featured former WEC lightweight "Razor" Rob McCullough in his return to the win column with a technical knockout stoppage over Isaac de Jesus in the main event.
One-time "Ultimate Fighter" Gabe Reudiger continued to impress, finishing Lenny Lovato with a barrage of punches in the first round. Despite his less-than-stellar run on TUF 5, "Godzilla" has let his fists do the talking, winning six straight fights -- all of them stoppages.
Complete Tachi Palace Fights 5: "Stars and Strikes" results after the jump.
Rob McCullough (18-6) def. Isaac de Jesus (9-2) via TKO (punches) R1 4:31

Gus Johnson will never live that down and it should never be forgotten.
wat a..
fucking loser, hes a terrible fighter, typical Tap Out wearing douche, and im usually against saying guys suck but him, he has no talent at all..
For what profit is it to man if he gains the world , and loses his own soul?

Rough way to go out. Tough opponent to face with jail looming on your mind. Now he has to think about it for a year. Hopefully he gets it together, but I doubt he will.

why would you hope he gets it together?
some people are just simply a waste of oxygen. hes a nutbar and I would not lose a second of sleep if he completely disappeared of the face of the planet.
Anyone from oregon.
If you live here, then come check out Anderson Silva appearance at the spirit mountain casino. My Brother HJ Bishop is fighting on the card, and I am cornering him. But One of Anderson Silva’s star pupils Damaso Pereira is fighting a hometown Jake Mcknight.

I'd love to see War Machine KO'd brutally before getting locked up.....something along these lines would be nice........
There will never replace Cro Cop, Wand or Fedor, fuck the Haters, stay loyal to your favourite fighters, win, lose or draw.
that is awesome
BJ is going to be back in Cali training and Marv is back! Bad news for Frankie. I will be betting the house.

So we're done talking about him now, right?
There are plenty of better fighters from the TUF shows that don’t get half the attention.
'It is what it is.' = worst saying ever
Inverted Lotus position.
Aww, check out Herb helping Jon with relaxing Yoga techniques after the fight. You gotta hand it to him….he really does care about the fighters he refs!

IMO Dana White is correct Herb Dean is the best

Any1 think whore machine will get nominated for Dbag of the century like on south park =D

Apparently he couldn't even do that right.
Prison is a good place for him he might thrive there. The only way Junie Browning can top War Machine is to drive his car 100mph off the Kentucky bridge.. please let it happen.
