UFC News: Jon Koppenhaver LEGALLY changes name to ‘War Machine’
|
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.

You missed out on staging a fight for the nickname between you and that “professional wrestling athlete.” Dana would have been all over that.
