War Machine, formerly Jon Koppenhaver, has apparently lost another high-profile fight gig due to his internet tirades.
"Just how my Evan Tanner bulletin got me kicked out of the UFC it seems I have been kicked off the Bellator show before it has even begun," War Machine wrote in one of his numerous outspoken MySpace bulletins. Seems they don't like it when their fighters speak their mind on the politics of the USA and it's [expletive] presidents."
War Machine was cut by the UFC last September for controversial comments on Tanner's death and for turning down a fight against an opponent he deemed had little name recognition.
The Bellator Fighting Championships, featuring featherweight, lightweight, welterweight and middleweight tournaments, begins in April for 12 weeks on ESPN Deportes.
