Bellator has fired War Machine after a report from TMZ claimed he was involved in a domestic violence investigation.

TMZ’s report claimed the domestic dispute involved three people at War Machine’s Las Vegas home. Two people were reportedly injured so bad they had to go to the hospital. The report claimed one victim was War Machine’s “significant other.”

A tweet from Christy Mack, War Machine’s sort of girlfriend (the “it’s complicated” relationship status was made for them), seems to confirm the report:

Bellator has fired War Machine after a report from TMZ claimed he was involved in a domestic violence investigation.

TMZ’s report claimed the domestic dispute involved three people at War Machine’s Las Vegas home. Two people were reportedly injured so bad they had to go to the hospital. The report claimed one victim was War Machine’s “significant other.”

A tweet from Christy Mack, War Machine’s sort of girlfriend (the “it’s complicated” relationship status was made for them), seems to confirm the report:

War Machine seemingly tweeted about the incident as well:

While nothing is official yet, a domestic violence incident seems pretty likely. We hate to say this was inevitable, it seemed inevitable given War Machine’s sordid history.

Fortunately, Bellator under Scott Coker threw the book at War Machine.

“We have a zero tolerance policy here at Bellator when it relates to any form of domestic violence,” Bellator president Scott Coker said in a press release sent to CagePotato. “And after learning of this latest incident involving Jon Koppenhaver, War Machine, Bellator is releasing him from his promotional contract with the organization.”

This is a far cry from Bjorn Rebney’s terrible “Human beings make mistakes and sometimes say stupid things” stance that saw War Machine get away with anything.

War Machine has been arrested before, so who knows if and how long he’ll be incarcerated this time. His last fight was a loss to Ron Keslar at Bellator 104. To be honest, Bellator is better off without him.

We’ll post more updates as we get them.

Photo of the Day: War Machine & Christy Mack Validate Their Relationship With Matching Ink


(Two tattoos, zero real names. Photo via War Machine’s Twitter.)

According to our poll, a staggering 55.3% of you believed that former TUF star and current Bellator badass War Machine had the hottest pornstar girlfriend of them all in Ms. Christy Mack (to the 2 people who suggested “our mom,” that doesn’t even make sense. To the man/woman who suggested GSP & Dakota Cochrane, bravo.). Clearly, Mr. Machine agrees with this sentiment, which is why he and his significant other got coordinating tattoos over the weekend. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned about a pornstar’s love, it’s that it’s forever.

On the heels of a first round TKO over Blas Avena in his Bellator debut, it appears that War Machine is riding pretty high these days. Gone are the days of assaulting his pornstar girlfriends at parties and, well, assaulting the patrons of Vegas gay clubs. Nowadays, a humbler, simpler War Machine can be found “crucifying” his pornstar girlfriend (his words, not ours) on Twitter when he’s not giving Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lessons to children whose parents have clearly never visited BeenVerified.com. It’s the American dream, really, and we wish these two kids the best of luck.

CagePotato Poll: Which MMA Fighter Had the Hottest Porn Star Girlfriend?


(Contestant 1: Christy Mack. In case you’re new to the Internet, you can see lots more of her on Google or her twitter page. Above image via Ranker)

Earlier this month, Bellator welterweight/retired porn-actor War Machine confirmed that he is in a romantic relationship with Christy Mack, a porn actress with a punk-vibe who has appeared in such flicks as Tattooed Anal Sluts and Trashy. How you react to this news depends a lot on your personal relationship with porn, and specifically with the porn featuring Christy Mack. For the record, Christy seems like a super lady, and we think the tattoo of the tall ship on her back is unique and eye-catching.

So, for those of you who care: Where does War Machine’s romance with Christy Mack rank in the short list of MMA fighters who have dated porn stars? Check out our quick rundown below, then vote in the SurveyMonkey widget at the end of page 2. Results will be collected and perhaps revealed if tomorrow turns out to be a really slow news day.

(Contestant 2: Jayden Jaymes)

In 2009, just after breaking off his engagement with Erin Wilson, UFC legend Chuck Liddell was spotted staring blankly in the distance while in Mexico with porn star Jayden Jaymes. It seemed like Chuck and Jayden had a good thing going — briefly, at least, in a rebound sort of way — until the Iceman realized that Jayden was just using him for publicity. Since then, Chuck has settled into a quiet life outside of the spotlight with Heidi Northcott.


(Contestant 3: Jenna Jameson. Click image for full-size version.)

Certainly the most famous — and unstable — pairing of an MMA star and a porn star, Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson started dating in 2006, had twin sons together, and endured more than their share of public drama before calling it quits (we hope?) last month. We’re not going to say another word about it, so let’s just remember them in happier times.


(Contestant 4: Lexxi Tyler. She’s the one on the left.)

Lexxi and her husband — former WEC lightweight champ “Razor” Rob McCullough — look downright normal compared to the rest of these weirdos. Married since 2009, the couple has a three-year-old son together, and Rob gave up drinking and partying in order to be a better father. By the way, Lexxi has only done girl-on-girl scenes during her porn career, so Rob doesn’t even have to pretend he’s not bothered by his wife getting railed by other dudes. Pretty sweet set-up, if you ask me.
