WSOF targeting Palhares-Fitch, Gaethje-Guillard for WSOF 16 on NBC

LAS VEGAS – On the eve of weigh-ins for Saturday’s WSOF 12 event, promotion officials said late December is being targeted for WSOF 16.

The event would take place Dec. 27 and be televised on NBC, though a venue and location have not yet been established. WSOF hopes, however, to have a pair of title fights at the top of the bill in the welterweight and lightweight divisions.

Welterweight titleholder Rousimar Palhares (16-6) would headline against No. 1 contender Jon Fitch (26-6-1) in a bout that has been planned for some time. Palhares was set to fight in July after winning the title in March, but pulled out to care for his mother. An expected defense against Fitch next month didn’t come to fruition, either. Now it appears the bout will head to the Christmas holiday.

And lightweight champ Justin Gaethje (12-0), who defended his title this past month at WSOF 11, is expected to put his belt on the line against Melvin Guillard (32-13-2), who won a top contenders fight on the same night.

Neither fight has been made official by WSOF, but both are being targeted for the card.

Palhares made his WSOF debut in March and submitted champion Steve Carl in the first round with the heel hook he has become famous – or, infamous – for. With a reputation for holding on to leg holds too long, Palhares was fired by the UFC in October 2013 when he submitted Mike Pierce in 31 seconds in his welterweight debut, but held too long for one final time. WSOF offered to give him a fresh start, and he took advantage straight away.

Fitch, who challenged for the UFC’s 170-pound title six years ago this weekend, was one of the more surprising UFC releases in recent memory when he was cut after a loss to Demian Maia at UFC 156. He signed with WSOF and was choked unconscious by Josh Burkman at WSOF 3 in June 2013. But he since has rebounded with decision wins over Marcelo Alfaya and Dennis Hallman, the latter coming a month ago at WSOF 11 in a middleweight bout.

Gaethje stayed unbeaten when he topped Nick Newell at WSOF 11 with a second-round TKO, bringing the Arizona native to 5-0 in the promotion with five knockout or TKO finishes. Overall, 11 of his 12 wins have come by stoppage, and at 25, the Grudge Training Center-based fighter is one of the brightest young talents in MMA’s lightweight division.

Guillard made his WSOF debut at WSOF 11 and stopped Gesias Cavalcante in the second round with a TKO. That was his first fight after the UFC released him on a 2-5 run that included a no-contest. Three of those losses were first-round setbacks to Joe Lauzon, Jim Miller and Donald Cerrone. But determined to turn things around, he stopped “JZ” Cavalcante – despite missing weight for the fight.

I've seen the gif of him spinning around on the guys back before, that flip was hilarious.
And yeah the Barnett match was crazy. I read that Lister hadn't been subbed for 16 years before that

God damn, War Machine did a number on Christy Mack, I hope some people find him before the cops do and fuck him up worse.

Broken Christy Mack issues full statement, graphic photos in wake of alleged savage assault from War Machine - MMAmania.com

Christy Mack (tweets notwithstanding) has finally broken her silence.

The retired porn star has released a full statement following an alleged attack by her ex-boyfriend, Jon Koppenhaver a.k.a. "War Machine," the welterweight mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter who was released from Bellator last Friday night (Aug. 8, 2014) when news broke that he was (once again) in trouble with the law.

And according to Mack, it was straight up savage:


"At about 2 a.m. Friday morning, Jon Koppenhaver arrived announced to my home in Las Vegas, NV. After he broke up with me in May, he moved out of my house and back to San Diego. When he arrived, he found myself and one other fully clothed and unarmed in the house. Without a single word spoken, he began beating my friend; once he was finished, he sent my friend away and turned his attention to me. He made me undress and shower in front of him then dragged me out and beat my face. I have no recollection of how many times i was hit. I just know the injuries that resulted from my beating. My injuries include 18 broken bones around my eyes, my nose is broken in 2 places. I am missing teeth and several more are broken. I am unable to chew, or see out of my left eye. My speech is slurred from my swelling and lack of teeth. I have a fractured rib and severely ruptured liver from a kick to my side. My leg is so badly injured, I have not been able to walk on my own. I also attained several lesions from a knife he got from my kitchen. He pushed the knife into me in some areas including my hand, ear and head. He also sawed much of my hair off with his dull knife.

After some time, the knife broke off of the handle and continued to threaten me with the blade. I believed I was going to die. He has beaten me many times before, but never this badly. He took my phone and cancelled all of my plans for the following week to make sure no one would worry about my whereabouts. He told me he was going to rape me, but was disappointed in himself when he couldn't get hard. After another hit or two, he left me on the floor bleeding and shaking, holding my side from the pain of my rib. He left the room and went to the kitchen where I could hear him ruffling through my drawers. Assuming he was finding a sharper, more stable knife to end my life, I ran out the back door, shutting it behind me so the dogs did not run inside to tip him off. I hopped the fence to the gold course behind my house and ran into a neighboring house. naked and afraid he would catch me, I kept running through the neighborhood running through the doors. Finally, one answered and I was brought to the hospital and treated for my injuries.

I would like to thank everyone for their support through this rough time. I am healing fast and well, and I appreciate a lot of the prayers and visits I have received over the past few days. After many months of fear and pressure to keep this man happy, although I fear for my life, I feel that I can no longer put myself in this situation. The cheating by him nearly everyday, and almost weekly abuse, is now more than I can stand. There is a $10k reward for the capture of Jonathan Koppenhaver at this time. Please report any information to your local police.

Thank you.


- Christy Mack

Mack was hospitalized following the alleged assault, which resulted in a broken face, missing teeth, fractured bones, attempted rape and more carnage, forcing her to cancel a promotional appearances in "Sin City," which just so happens to be the locale of choice for War Machine's marriage proposal.

One that he claimed ended in spilling his own blood after a still un-named, "fully-clothed" friend was confronted and beaten at the scene.

"War Machine" -- who is no stranger to prison -- remains at large, afraid the police with not give him "fair play." And after seeing the damage he has caused, he is more than likely very, very correct.

He resides in San Diego, California. There is also a $10,000 reward for any tips that lead to his arrest. "War Machine" is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

So its okay to beat the shit out of a WOMAN?? Fucc that! this guy is a bitch for what he did, no way around it! Some will say oh he was a scitzo but that dont make it right to beat the shit out of a man, beat the shit out of a woman, stab her and then try to rape her. So to me it sounds like you condone this nonsense? since, after all she is a "professional whore" right? I guess she's not a human being anymore either, right?

A year or two ago I read her comments in which she said she couldn't do interracial scenes because he didn't approve.

He beat the fuck out of her. You don't do a woman like that unless she has shot your momma, shot you or killed your kids.

If she goes back to him he IS going to kill her (if the cops don't kill him first.)

Christy Mack is very nice to look at, I'll say that much.

You don't date a pornstar if you can't handle them being with other men/women thats just retarded thinking.

Anyways, dude sounds like a real nutcase. Hopefully Mack fully recovers and goes back doing what she do best.
A gang bang with black guys would make him commit suicide.
