"War Machine" Busted for Fighting at Gay Club

Posted Feb 10th 2009 12:04AM by TMZ Staff

Jon KoppenhaverWith a name like War Machine, what do you expect to happen?

Former "Ultimate Fighter" badass Jon Koppenhaver, who goes by the aforementioned MMA nickname, was picked up by Las Vegas PD for misdemeanor battery Saturday morning after allegedly getting into a tussle at Krave Nightclub -- a place described by one of their reps as "gay ... but very straight-friendly."

Cops tell TMZ security at Krave was escorting War Machine out of the club after a little brouhaha -- when he allegedly turned on security and starting punching them. Security made a citizens arrest until Las Vegas PD could show up.

2. There is no such thing as Las Vegas PD. It's called Las Vegas Metropolitan PD, or Metro.

3. What's up with his left ear?

4. Ear is typical of MMA fighters who train wrestling. It's called cauliflower ear. 99.9% sure it was there before the fight.

7. Yes, his ear was already like that. It's called cauliflower ear and it's common amongst wrestlers. The ear tissue is damaged from wrestling/training.

12. So what if he's gay, the host of TMZ is a known homosexual. Why would this site make a big deal out of this guy being a homosexual? Lay off on the guy.

13. He's hot except for his ear retardation.

14. Looks like he could suck a golf ball through a fifty foot hose!

15. I've been to Krave and it is a gay bar but it is straight-friendly too. Who really cares if he is gay or straight. It's 2009 people get over the homophobia already. Your nasty comments just make you look like an idiot.
