Apprently Jon Koppenhaver is upset because some wrestling federation has named one of their fighters The War Machine Rhino and copyrighted the name, which means he can’t use it anymore as a nickname. For him, the next logical step was to legally change his name to War Machine…that showed them! Here’s the quote from his MySpace:
“SO in case you didn’t notice in my last fight the UFC did NOT use my nickname when I fought. Turns out some … wrestling federation threatened to sue them because they recently named one of their wrestlers The War Machine Rhino and trademarked the name.
Too (expletive) bad that I have been using this name for 6 years, have it tatted on my body and it is what my fans yell out when I’m fighting.
If you know my personality then you know (expletive) well I am not gonna let some (expletive) (expletive), FAKE wrestler steal MY name..
SO 6 weeks ago I filed a change of name request and today I had court to make my name officially WAR MACHINE.
Lol
(expletive) funny right? Didn’t really wanna have to do it but I am sure as hell not lose MY nickname.
Time for a nap.
WM”
I would have just changed my nickname.

Douche. Bag.
You missed out on staging a fight for the nickname between you and that “professional wrestling athlete.” Dana would have been all over that.
I wonder what his mommy thinks :[ the guy needs to win some more fights his most recent one was embarrassing
Was “Dick Machine” taken?
Rhino used the nickname years before anybody had ever heard of this guy.
WM is a loser, i just think his tattoos are Bomb as fuck!!!
hahaha
Fuck you guys, war machine is bomb, i dont see any of you fags in the UFC
WM is the MAN haha
fuck you guys, War Machine is bomb
too bad “War Machine” is also a copyright character…. didnt this idiot ever read comic books as a kid? everyone knows War Machine is Iron Mans bitch. which makes me wonder why he didnt choose the latter for his nickname
it would have been a whole lot smarter to change his middle name to war machine. then he would have been “john war machine koppenhaver”. but if you have ever seen an interview with this kid, then you know that he’s not real bright.
Hard to beleive, but true it is LOL…. Thanks Again
