War Machine loses by split decision at TPF:

"David Mitchell earned a split decision over "The Ultimate Fighter 6" alumnus War Machine, formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver, with scores of 28-29, 29-28, and 30-27."

Talk about eating some crow:

So you're not expecting a tough fight from him?
WM: Nah. I think it's kind of a joke fight.

My favorite quote from that interview
Why do you think he sucks?
He has no stand up, no wrestling, he pulls guard … I don’t know. He sucks.

Apparently Mitchell did just that, constantly pulling guard and threatening Mr. Machine with submission attempts, and War still had no answer for his bottom game.

we need those judges in the UFC!

Serves him right really and kudos to the judges for letting a guy win when he’s on the bottom. I don’t know if it was the correct decision or not, but at least having the balls to award Mitchell the fight is worthy of something.

Oh and also the Gogo alert has gone off, as some cat scored one on the undercard of that event.

Oh sweet, my brain went GOGO instead of SOTO when I saw it. So please forgive.

Nick, the David Mitchell you linked to

is the wrong one. The correct one has the 7-0 (now 8-0) record on FightFinder with multiple submission wins.

Thanks fixed. It’s wrong in the sherdog article.

Something wrong in a Sherdog article? I can’t believe it!

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Anyone who legally changes their name to “War Machine” is a fail already, much less doing it without having an amazing suit of armor covered with missiles. He talked so much trash in his interview, he deserved this!

darn, that takes all the hype out of Roger Bowling vs. War Machine.

I am really, let me repeat that, REALLY excited that War Machine lost.

War Machine just lost a fight to a non fighter.

War Machine, in that interview, talks about how hes been fighting since kindergarten. I got the impression that he’s a bully. well he just got beat by one of those “dorks” who train jj w/out anger problems. how does it feel?

War Machine needs to get over his attitude or he’ll end up pickin a fight w/ someone who will shoot him.

Check out my interview with Roger Bowling over at MMAForReal.com to see what he had to say about War Machine. It’s especially funny given last night’s loss.

This sucks. I love War Machine. Hope he gets back to winning. If not he will probably kill himself or something.

Mr. Machine responds on MySpace:
From: WarWar Machine
Date: Oct 9, 2009 10:53 AM
Subject: My fight last night..
Body: First fight I ever let go to the score cards and unfortunately the judges were fucking blind. The entire crowd bood when they announced the winner. Even my opponent approached me after the fight and told me that the judges are idiots and that I won. Hats off to David Mitchell for putting up a tough fight but the judges definitely fucked that decsion up! My managment team and I are protesting the decision.

Mikey Gomez responds:

I thought War Machine would be man enough and let it go, I didn’t go and protest the eye poke in our last fight that I took in a week and half notice and got the flu as soon as I got out of the plane in Florida to the point were people asked me if I was really going to fight.
If you saw the fight (yes I fought like SHIT) you will see that the ref steps in when I tell him about the incident and when I look down he lets the fight continue and I just feel these punches but really not doing shit (thanx to my parents I have a rock as a head) so he steps in and calls the fight? Come on they were 3-4 punches and I was covering anyway.
Like Dane White says, don’t let it go to the judges desicion, if u don’t like it. My point is that all odds were against me and I never said a thing after what happened looking for excuses.
All that said, Thanx Bitch ass Pavia for protesting this and yes I’ll smack that lil bitch ass smile and dirty look you give me for no reason everytime you see me, and if you take it to the cops I don’t care because you are still a lil BITCH and like your fighter says some people just need to get Beaten up sometimes…
What can I say? War Machine was never an ass to me nor talked shit about me. I can’t say anything about the guy and usually don’t talk shit about people anyway. U never know if it’s just a way to get his name out there that he talks that way or if he’s like that for real. Anyways good luck to him and hope to fight the guy one day again.
