what weight is “war” fighting at now?
Its hard to tell.
Now that he’s changed his name so that it sounds like his parents were two of the Transformers, I hear that ‘Machine is going to court to change the scale as well, so I’m guessing he’ll be fighting at “war weight”…
That is the fight Phil Baroni was supposed to be in (before he signed with Strikeforce), and Baroni is listed as a welterweight. I would make a logical assumption to say he’s at 170.
yea i believe its 170, and he looked real good in that fight, he’s training with xtreme couture, and has really improved as a fighter…the end
I think War Machine and jesse taylor both belong in the same class of having a ton of potential but stupid with big-mouths
Glad to see Yves get a W. He was always one of my favorite fighters. I hope he comes back to form. He isn’t that old and now that he trains with ATT maybe he can get his career back on track.
I’d love to see war machine redeem himself back into the UFC…I know I know…I just like the idea of redemption.
