READ BOLD.After signing on for Bellator Fighting Championships season six welterweight tournament, War Machine (aka Jon Koppenhaver) received some bad news on Thursday. The former UFC fighter says he’s going back to prison for one year.
It wasn’t something Koppenhaver did since leaving jail, it was over something he did previous to his first incarceration.
War Machine posted the news on Twitter (@warmachine170) Thursday evening.
“Seems my year in jail wasnt enough. Just got sentenced to another year in Vegas for some old bullshit. Nevermind Im rehabilitated. Nevermind Ive been out for over 6 months now and doing great and am finally back on my feet. Nevermind all my students that will miss me. Do another year and rot n waste time. Make no money, pay no taxes. Whatever, I just hope my boy @bensaundersMMA wins @BellatorMMA tournament. Fuck the mother fucking system! Fuck the bullshit! Vacation time, back to jail in 2 weeks! Cant stop me, all you can do is delay the inevitable. War Machine will always be back! Oh ya the judge looked and me and said she can tell Im on steroids and that thats prolly why I got in so many fights and am angry..lol Bitch.”
After serving one year for a felony assault conviction, War Machine had one fight since his release, earning a third round TKO win over Roger Huerta at a UWF show in Texas. It appears that he’ll have to sit for another year before he can turn his life around in the cage.
